Someone recently mentioned that he was waiting for the automatically shifted manual transmission to be a reality. It seems to be in the works now at D-C for the Ram trucks - probably for 2010 - 2012, and possibly "reducing zero to sixty times by 1-2 seconds." Here's a discussion on the...

Coming home from work, I stopped at a light next to a Mustang GT with loud pipes and oversized tires. He took off quickly on green and I trailed back a bit. The next intersection was a wide two-lane curve to the left onto the two-lane service road of the freeway. Going about 35-40 or so, I...

Killed a 500GT on the freeway today. It looks better in person than in the videos. This one was white with blue stripes - looked sweet. I pulled him easily. It was on a trailer towed by a one ton dually at the time, but as they say, a kill is a kill. :p

Another Chebby wanted to race tonight - late model, red w/ 20 inch wheels/tires. He graciously changed lanes so I could pass him like he was standing still. :D No Chevy has ever been close. No regular Ford (haven't raced a L yet). No Rams. No Mustang GTs. Beat an older ZO6 by 2 lengths in 2...

Are our Pirelli tires directional? In other words, what's the best rotation scheme? My tire guy keeps rotating them front to back only, but I see no arrows on the tires.

This formation is awesome http://www.vtcoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4410 but fortunately I was there the day they created a true aerial masterpiece. Thanks for the inspiration, Venom Power - I couldn't resist. ps - Photoshop rules!:D

Caught up with a new '05 QC Yellow Fever here in Dallas - wanted to invite him to join the forum, come to our GTGs, etc. I flagged him down, he pulled over, then when I got to his window I discover that he was Hispanic - did not speak a word of English! I speak a little Spanish, but it was...
