Thumbs up

That was a good one, Pro! Reminds me of the time I was showing a buddy of mine how my 340 Cuda would smoke the tires through the first three gears on the street behind my house. When the tires finally grabbed I looked up from the tach to see my back fence (a 1x12 board fence) coming at me! I hit the brakes and got it stopped about 2 feet from the fence. My wife would have killed me if I'd gone through her fence.

Exclamation

Like Dart said, PRO, good story, but turn off the caps lock already!!! All big letters are harder to read. Plus, you can't show when you want to emphasize something if the caps lock is constantly on. Turn off the caps lock already!!! It was different the first message, but now it's just irritating.
