highlight of my Saturday was testing launch control and flat shift on a 470whp STi

 

I was at the Auto Show yesterday. In line to drive a Jaguar F Type and picking the brain of one of their people. Their scoop on the move away from LSDs... Open diffs are less likely to overheat, easier to maintain, and have less drag on the drivetrain.

 

I haven't been in the office since the 16th... I'm lucky I remembered where I work.

 

Came back from driving roughly 2000 miles in 1 week only to be sick and back at work with roughly 100 emails to siphon through. YUCK. In other news... Washington state has an overwhelming amount of Honda ricers that think their **** is sooo fast and bikini baristas... and rain..

 

they are cheaper. that's the big one everyone conveniently forgets

the other stuff is just nonsense: overheating the brakes is still overheating, and there is no drag in a diff when there is no lockup. The maint part is true, but that also goes towards the cheaper part (for the manuf)

 

they still do the bikini thing............in the winter?

 

they've got heaters

 

Anyone have Black Friday stories?

I work at a mall, and around 2pm, a 3year old pulled the fire alarm. Good times were had by all.

 

I bought expensive **** online, regretted it, almost returned it until my wife yelled at me and said I should keep it... Does that count?

 

I bought.........nothing. and went......nowhere

 

I like the cut of your jib.
