Chuck, you forget...I'm old enough to be her Dad and I would prefer to stay happily married. Oh, I almost forgot, wifey will be carrying a gun also in a couple months. Remember a lady by the name of Lorraine Bobbit?

Lorraine......Lorraine.......oh yes.....she was responsible for putting together the candidates for a male soprano group.
I've been using your Gtek...but I can't get the times you got with your Tip....too much strain on the clutch at launch...but I'm having fun with it.

Haven't run the Gtek on the 930...I would imagine that I would get better lower end times out of the 930 as long as I kept it spooled up...the long geared 4 speed wouldn't need to shift past 2nd. It has a new clutch in it, so the launch is much tighter. The clutch on the 996 is starting to slip a bit...always did engage high ever since I bought it. We need to get together again....how about this week sometime?

I have an '03 in guards red C2 Cab and have never got stopped in 3.5 years. As we all know, you can't go slow in a P car. My BMW 745i Black on the other hand has been stopped 3 times in the last 3 years for speeding. Fortunately, I have some get out of jail free passes.

Many of my co-workers would be more inclined to pull over the person in the following picture regardless of what type or color of car they were driving.

Steven, I was not referring to someone with tats like yours. I have several younger Deputy friends with as many as you have. I do enjoy giving them a hard time about their tats (I think there is an age gap). I was making a reference to a person with a prison gang tattoo (the lightning bolts on the neck=Aryan Brotherhood). What I should have said, was I would rather pull over parolees than joe citizen.
When I started my career in South Central Los Angeles in the mid 80s, the only people that I encountered with tattoes were gang memebers or Parolees. After 22 years, I can tell the difference between a gang tattoo, a prison tattoo, and joe citizen (or deputy) who has tattoos.
Steven, I did not mean to offend you. The only reason I would pull you over would be to tell you what a cool car you have and introduce myself.
I will work on being more politically correct in my old age. My best friend's adult daughter has one over the crack of her butt....I shouldn't tell him what that one means.

BTW, I am a Sales Engineer with a Cisco Systems Partner, so my attire is professional looking but that is work and after work is my own time and life. My tat's do not and will not extend into my lower arms or around the neck, just is not a professional image that our customers want to see. My work knows I have the tat's but because they are hidden it is not a problem.
