So we put in the Loverman followed by Viergangfuchs this morning and started knocking off some quick laps, passing like crazy and moving up to the 20s in the standings; Mr. Baruth has our best lap time, with 51 seconds. Now the Evil Genius is driving, and he's also fast as hell. However, the level of competition is getting ratcheted up, tempers are flaring a bit out there, and we're dishing out and receiving some damage in the heat of the action; the front suspension just needed some major toe adjustments after a bit of mutual metal grunching with our friend Xarg's Cavalier wagon. Sorry, guys! Meanwhile, the Porcubimmer, after leading for a while yesterday, has been de-quilled by various mechanical maladies; full report later.

I'd rather like to swap our places. You guys seem to be having rather a lot of fun.

The only car I sold at our Benz dealership today was a Saab convertible. Irony? Naah.

Time of your life, kid. Time of your life.

@akier: Without the curb feelers, the only way to know if you are too high on the bank is the shower of sparks you leave behind the car.

@chrystlubitshi: I just thought the 'Pretty in Black' trash can imagery fit. Scandinavian composed English lyrics can be weird though.

@DoctorNine: That would completely rock if they just played and sang and stopped with cutaways to the vogue face closeups. Yeah, you're cute, get on with it.
