Damn dude, if that's a kit, it's pretty accurate! and if it's real, what are you doing sitting on it??!? Just joking! Very cool pic. Were you running a big block in that Cobra? or was it a kit?

 

Damn Dude! Sorry to... what are Loralie's measurements again?

 

watch it! hacker practiced on how to do sharp blows to the nose

 

Hacker, I've seen Tim's wife, now I've seen your wife, and I know what my wife looks like. The conclusion is this; Average dudes with nice 928's = a hot wife!

Later that day my father gave us our other wedding present:

 

You haven't seen my wife... oh crap! Now I see you limited it to "average dudes" and didn't include us way below average dudes.

 

A box of Trojans?

 

Hacker, if Lorelei didn't mind that you were horsing around with cars on your wedding day and enjoyed the drive, you deff. landed a keeper. How long did you have the CGT? That was in Vegas right? There are some great stretches of sparsly poulated road there. How fast did you take the cars?

 

Too easy. most likely a gift certificate for a vasectomy. No room in this world for a bunch of little Hackers.

 

no room for one really but nobody told him.

 

You did this in front of a woman? Uh Oh. Seriously, I have been hit in the face by my 928, when I dropped the bellhousing on it. That was maybe step 1 in relieving the Flex Plate/TT press. buildup..."Remove 6 bolts, exhaust, etc... Knock Self Silly..." I lost probably a whole day over that. Then, while installing the new belt, I tried to apply such a force on the belt that when it slipped it put the inside of my elbow over one of those metal tabs on the top of the radiator. Rinse, Betadine and a full tube of Super Glue later I was back in business.

I think that as we (necessarily) grow older we begin to think more about where the forces we input will be applied if (read:when) it all goes wrong. It doesn't take much to the face or head to really smart. My knuckiles are learning every day.

Hope you feel better man.

 

When I was kid I almost knocked the wind out of myself when my hockey skate lace broke as I was straining to get my skate laces as tight as possible.

Got a fist to the stomach and I'll never forget how much force I punched myself with. I remember thinking, wow, that's quite a punch I have there. LOL!

 

ouch! got lots of knuckle and wrist scars from things going wrong in a bad way. sometimes I wear mechanics gloves now when I know it's gonna get ugly. guess you should wear a hockey mask, hahaha

 

I always wear gloves, even if I'm just checking the oil level. I also always wear a hat to protect my head, even if only from little knocks or scrapes.

I tried to change the hatch shocks without the assistance of a buddy, or even a pole to hold up the hatch. I ended up with my arm trapped. I thought I was going to have to call for help, but managed to extricate myself so avoided hurting my pride as much as my arm.

 

The CGT just happened to be parked down the way, great photo op.
We had the Cobra for a few days, it was my fathers idea. It's a SuperFormance replica - closest thing to a real Cobra without spending $500k. This car had a 351W, about 350hp with a total weight around 2,200lbs. It scooted off the line.
My father had a hell of a time getting me registered to drive it since I was unable to be there to sign the contract (it was a suprise). My father told him about the cars we drive daily - this would not be an issue. The Cobra is the only car in the fleet with a seperate contract for the clutch, I guess a lot of people burn it out. It was a very on/off clutch with no forgivness.
I loved it.
Lorelei was in on the plot, she loves cars and Cobra's so it worked out well. I have no idea how fast I drove the Cobra since the authentic Lucus speedo did not work. Ignition key was also on the left.
It took three people to get her (and the dress) in / out of the car without setting her dress on fire with the side pipes.

No baby HP's running around - The nuns back in Catholic School made comments about my child and the anti-christ.
