    Well at least I would have passed the first time. 5/15. A lot worse than I thought.

    My only hope is to live right and keep my nose clean. I'd still be in that penalty box. You guys grade on a curve, right?

    The video is priceless.

    First guy should be LeMons justice spokesman.

    "Do you know why you're here?"

    "I probably fucked up, somewhere..."

    "Do you know how you fucked up?"

    Pause for thought

    "Not exactly sure...I'm hopin' you'll tell me..."

    Yep, they'll tell you alright.

    Can't wait for north-central TX, can't wait for north-central TX, can't wait for north-central TX....

    Hopefully it won't be too tornadoish.

    @that ain't the way to have fun, son:

    I was out at a fire school at Eagle's Canyon (site of the north central TX race in June 2010) today and I'm thinking that they're gonna need more judges. That track is a killer. I went out for 4-5 laps just to familiarize myself with the layout and even driving at 4/10ths my car was making those wonderful hot brake smells, and I think the high today was somewhere in the mid-70s - MUCH cooler than it's going to be in June.

    I'm guessing that we'll see a LOT of folks in the penalty box after going 4 wheels off after thinking that had more brakes left than they did.

    I've never been out there, but I see a field trip in the future.

    Oh, and today was only mid-60's!

    Yeah...June's gonna be interesting.

    I suck @ under 50%. 7.

    Never, ever, did I think the number of ducks on the Cadillac crest would ever be useful trivial knowledge.

    Thanks to spending too much time, here, I now know the V8-6-4 was '81, not '80, as I'd thought for many a year.

    @that ain't the way to have fun, son: I would've guessed '80, too. '81 was my second guess, but close only counts when throwing iron semicircles and compact pin-fused explosive devices.

    @MushyHeirloom:

    I think my mind jumps to '80 because that was the year my brilliant father cursed the family by purchasing an ultra-bare bones 1980 F-100. Well, it had a small passenger's side mirror and a rear bumper, so there were, technically, 'options' on it.

    Rubber floor, 3-on-the-tree, no radio, no A/C, no nuthin'.

    So, the year stands out in my mind because I hated that truck for about 8 years after that point...I've never been so happy to be T-boned by a car knowing, "this ain't gonna be fixed".

    The other is, the 1981 commercials were likely running full-time by August. Plus, I was 12, the V8-6-4 sounded, still does actually, like a pretty good idea.

    "It's ahead of its time!"

    Um, yeah, in more ways than one. The main one being, it should have spent a few more years in development.

    I would be back on the track but just barely. What amazes me is that I can actually remember that Ho drove a Pug, knew the Corvair and McVeigh, Toyoglide (how could you ever forget that!), the Gaz and the 2 Caddy questions.
    What a peculiar range of information I possess. Mass murderers, dictators, jackasses (Nader)...but by their association with vehicles.
    And of course, Ted Bundy was famous for the VWs he couldn't drive properly, which got him arrested in FL, and Oswald didn't have a driver's license. But I digress.

    I got 1, 4, 7, 8, 13, and 14. Would've had a 50/50 chance on a couple others.

    Ducks? No idea about ducks until now, but I'm still grinning.

    I was fairly certain on 4 of them, and guessed right on a fifth.

    Back to the track!

    We had a used toilet full of beer at NWAA Smackdown this year. The best part was the other car clubs' members pulling it (PBR light, eew) out of the ice and drinking it. Why would anyone drink beer from a toilet is beyond me. #penalties

    Here's the problem with California - it's so big, you have plenty of both bed-wetting, self obsessed liberals AND gun-toting, flag waving conservatives. You need a penalty that encompasses things all Californians hate; high property taxes, low property values, overpriced gasoline, and horrible traffic. Yeah, this could work in most states but these problems are very acute out west.

    Make the teams push their cars in a bumper-to-bumper fashion while the driver reads the California foreclosure listings for the week. I know, the idea needs work, but something along that line will piss off pretty much everyone. #penalties
