Well since I've only ever owned Macs it's difficult to answer objectively, but I used to get frustrated that development of major programs lagged behind PCs and if you're into games, they just didn't have as many for Macs. Also they used to cost a lot more than PCs. Most of these things don't apply anymore though and since you can install XP on these Intel-based Macs, you really do get the best of both worlds.

Your car is never loud enough (not until you give at least 3 people in line at starbucks a heart attack)

Kinda wet this morning, eh? Maybe I'll just stay home & redo that valve adjustment on the passenger side . . .

lol..yeah normally i would too..but i actually found a hilarious comedy about a group of motorcycle bandits who the police can't catch and in order to do so, a hotshot cop has to team up with a goofy motorcycle theif. It's pretty much a direct copy of the french movie Taxi by Luc Besson..cept with better looking brown girls in it, and motorcycles insead of cars. very amusing

It was a little wet, but also nice to see a few new faces. Forgot to take pics today, but there was a really nice Boxster S, GT silver/Chocolat full leather and a track beast 1974 Black 911. I hope you guys aren't letting a little rain stop you from driving these cars. What's going to happen when it snows? Will I be the only one standing there with my half-frozen Latte?

To be honest, I didn't go today because I figured no one else would. I actually wanted to go, and was up in plenty of time (one of the joys of having a baby in the house!). I drive the 911 in the rain without hesitation. And I'll be there in the winter in the 944, if everyone's still meeting up!

See some of you guys tomorrow.

Ditto Christien's excuse. Well OK, maybe I don't like to start out in the rain. It often seems to rain when I'm out. One day coming south on 400 right where 11 joins in, it started to rain & we were top down. I just accelerated & the water shot over our heads. Luckily it was only a 60 sec shower . . .

Winter? No. Unless I'm driving the Audi.

Anyone want to split a cheap ice racing car this winter? CASC has a cheap series with trophies for both the main driver and 2nd driver on the vehicle

Sorry to have missed the last few Saturday's - been camping - then in California.

If we're on for this Sat - I'll try to make it out.
