You have the "Over" for 17 pages, don't you?

I wave often and i usually know who I am waving to. And it is very easy to see because the speed diferential is only five mph or so. Even at 130 the friend is along side for three or four seconds. I timed a few waves and i can wave in .09 seconds. But my average wave is .639 seconds. Carrera Gt must never look in his mirror as that would be "not the road ahead." Are you related to Ghetto Racer?

Nor can I. Thankfully my checkout ride was silent. Eval instructor was too busy waving to everyone we passed.

Looks like someone took the shovel away from CGT or he decided to open his eyes, realize he's in a majority of one, and put it down.

He's seen the light. He was last seen in The Woodlands TX, driving a Corvette, and practicing his wave:

I've often wondered about those things. If you mount them backwards, do they attract deer?

Only if you're waving at them.

Default Amusing, but....

For those of us who have witnessed the critter carnage at SP, the most disturbing aspect is when they pick up the smaller road kill with a shovel that is kept in the ambulance and sometimes even transport the dead varmints in the ambulance.

I blame it on Obamacare.
