Default Should have my Spyder in the next week or so . . . . .

. . . . but I don't "do" Facebook. Still, it would be interesting to catch up with other owners in NorCal to compare notes, sniff tailpipes, etc. I'll watch for future developments in that regard.

Me too. I'm also not a FB fan...
But first I need to get my car and spend some miles to break it in

Is there an overall Spyder FB page? Bay Area would be cool too.

Made me laugh and laugh because I assume everyone in the Bay area is a dot-com millionaire.

It's not about money.. But not doing Facebook is almost like in 1900's saying "I don't do the US postal service".. Uhm, ok.. Isolation must have been a bitch.

Maybe living in Bay Area keeps us a bit on bleeding edge but I'm not exactly a tech geek and my life is so engrained in social and tech that without it I wouldn't even be able to work.

I remember when texting was a bit cutting edge 10 years ago or so.. I had a buddy who would get furious when I texted him because I used up his text allotment... He's a patent lawyer with google today who ensures that only google owns the robots and that they own us... It's a bit of evolve really really fast or die nowadays.

Rant over. (Nothing personal btw.. Just a comment on our times)

And any teenager would be making fun of you on either snapchat or Instagram for using the words FB and cutting edge in such close proximity

Another funny!
I just meant I think of the bay culture as being full of Computer Engineers and designer who are all wired up so your sarcasm was extra funny for me.

A few pics from our evening ride in Marin Headlands before dinner (and one gratuitous scenery shot because SF in spring is the bomb

I also created my first YouTube edited video.. My apology for the music.. I got a little excited.. You can hear the sound a bit.

Just went for a night drive... Took the long way around the golden gate to my girl's house.. there is a new amazing road built out to the g.g. There is a beautiful 3 S twisty exit onto 19th AVE... Always empty.. Really makes you look through the turn, PDLS headlights looking around the turn with you... Under another small bit of curving tunnel.. Makes you stay patient on the throttle (like a mini-Monaco tunnel) before spitting you out onto 19th and another tunnel. Top down.. Rev her past 4K so valves open up... Fabspeed headers blaring.. It's like gods own symphony.
OMFG I LOVE THIS CAR.

So true. I thought Facebook was basically just soccer moms bragging about their kids at this point.
