Excuse the blurry last pic.. the car doesn't ride that smooth yet.

I am addressing the "shaky issues" after consulting about it in this thread:

That's nothing. Try going over a mountain pass with low clouds...visability dropps to about 3 feet. THAT is foggy. But yea, it was still pretty fun driving around in that yesterday.

scary for me tho... still new to this old car.. crappy lights (yeah will upgrade to IceShark's next week).. shaky suspension.. not great brakes that I'm used to... gulp.

All will be addressed soon and then I'll have confidence.

Boiling hot summers and unbelievable winters....

Hey, that looks just like my commute in this morning! Not suprising, since I live right down the street from you...

Um ok guys, thanks........

Jake: I didn't take the picture, that was my friend and i was on my way to pick him up. He sold these pics to the local papers here (do a search on Emirates Towers on google and see).

Patrick: That is not my house i wish though, my friend was staying at the Fairmount Hotel located on the freeway........

KJM3SMG : I didn't notice that you are not a rennlist memeber, those articles are on the OT forum, i could post them here if you like? (needs some time)
