Was it an NNJR person?

I did read it, i was glad to hear that he got there fine, just because something tragic happened doesn't mean that he cant have fun.

That makes two somewhat odd responses. I see your perspective, I just don't understand it.

As long as you see my perspective and yes i'm very odd. I can understand your response i just sometimes assume that people know im not an ******* so i dont say stuff like oh im sorry to hear that, probably why im divorcing my wife lol.
i guess i lack "empathy" or something.

New headhunt install before I head to DRT in Feb. Removed my iPad (mounted in the dash) in favor of this. A few small details to sort, but I love it. 9" Alpine Halo unit with Apple Car Play.




In the last few weeks I also did a Markski tune, rear toe links & alignment, refinished my Gemballa Mesh Cup Replica wheels (thank you FiveNine Design and Bespoke). The DRT Prep continues.

How come you don't have a glove box?

And what is that thing under the steering column?

2001 cars didn’t have a glove box but used a “pouch” forward of the driver for the manual to be stowed. Can’t recall why no glove box....airbag maybe?

Wow, did not know about the pouch, and now that I think about it, someone else had mentioned their lack of glovebox in the past.

Cheers,

Yesterday actually, but a great drive!

I love the diversity in some of my drive groups, all extremely competent cars all getting it done. On this particular ride:


  • 1 Italian, 2 British, 2 German
  • 1 Front mid engine, 3 mid engine, 1 rear engine.
  • V12 NA, V8 NA, Flat 6 Turbo, Flat 4 Turbo.
  • 2 years - 25 years old.
  • ~375 HP - ~600 HP

Colorado, right? Nice collection, again!

What a decidedly lack of snow picture - been pretty dry?
