...what?..no, that's blown HDPE: a translucent plastic bottle with syrup inside...
...how about jupiter's moon?..
...oh, i think you misunderstand me: that's not impaired driving, that's skillful navigation through the normal flow of traffic in sàigòn...
...oh, that's just the vietnam regional setting...
...i don't know if i have very interesting stories about the folks who dug in; mostly that ferraris have a reputation for not keeping up with the group on account of breakdowns when driven hard...more entertaining were the rally-star trailer queens which slowed down to crawl over every cattleguard or fresh roadwork for fear of marring their pristine clearcoats while the exotic road cars flew right through, welcoming the well-earned miles...
...a lot of us drive open-topped in light rain - as long as you keep moving the cabin stays fairly dry - but we've been caught in torrential downpours a couple of times and come through soaked to the bone before managing to pull off and raise our various tops and targas...next sunny day, you open everything up, let it dry out completely, and follow-up with a detail if it still bothers you...
...when a group of twenty or thirty high-profile cars pull into a small town fuel station, it can draw a lot of attention, positive and negative, but not so much when we pull into a remote roadhouse since those tend to be more common destinations...
...for folks really into the scene, the real rock stars were cars driven in open road races, not the trailer queens: it's a modest culture which respects real-world capability and experience more than flashy showmanship...use it or lose it, as they say...
...i used to lead a monthly hundred-mile canyon-run which would turn out a broad spectrum of sportcars and exotics, some of which were trailer queens...
...it was always interesting to see how show car owners respond to the opportunity to drive their car the way it was meant to be driven, some of whom embraced the opportunity and others who delicately babied their way around the loop or bailed-out early...
...i was thinking bathtub cheese but that'll do...
...i'll put my money on a domestic incident first: the administration has more to gain from crushing dissent...
...i need a really good bag for about eighty chessex-style dice: any better-suited options out there than the crown royal standard?..
