How's your[?] neck?

It was my step-dad. He was a bit sore.

He looked OK on take-off, then the nose just sank:


Here's me on the 850 Polaris:


and me crawling in the Gator:



Despite the nose-heaviness of it, the Gator is pretty amazing on climbs.

Too many words. Let the car do the talking. :colbert:

Reminds me of a VHS tape I bought for a high school friend back in the day, out of the classifieds from Car and Driver. Was a 30 minute video of some guy driving a Testarossa somewhere in Utah, had a mic in the engine bay.

We watched it about a billion times.

Probably not going to happen.. this was the early 90's. There's a chance said high school friend has hung on to it, but I haven't talked to him in almost 15 years. Never thought to look for it online.. no luck but I did find this:

Another great video, however I like to think their father is loving rolling over in his grave. Judging by how much it sounds like he loved that car, I call bullshit that he'd ever want them, or anyone, sell that car.

I feel this way about rubber mallets. I don't have much upper body strength (lots of lower; I'm a cyclist) and I use mallets for loving everything. It's so satisfying to just whack something with a soft hammer and not worry about it breaking.

Daniel Wassom, 31, Vilonia, Arkansas

Daniel Wassom was a husband and the father of two young daughters, Lorelei, 5, and Sydney, 7. He died Sunday night in his home in Vilonia, Arkansas when he was shielding his daughters from debris from the tornado. His wife Suzanne is currently in the hospital in Conway, Arkansas.

According to Wassom's father, Wassom went by the nickname "Bud." He was in the Arkansas National Guard and previously served in Iraq. The two worked together on a classic car, a 1934 Ford.

"Dan always put his family first," said Carol Arnett, Wassom's grandmother. "They're just good people. They love God and their children."

Next month we have our annual weekend away which includes a track day. I will doubtlessly whore out some more pictures of that when we get home too.
