Dry roads, green grass and trees with leaves It can't come soon enough. This has been a miserable winter in the Northeast. I can usually sneak out for a drive occasionally in the winter. This winter has been awful. Maybe another 8 inches of snow Sunday

Maybe that's why we appreciate Spring so much around here.

Nice burnout

God, here in California, if you do a burnout, you've got sensitive citizens grabbing their cellphones and freaking out! Heck, in our neighborhood back then, everybody was doing burnouts and street racing was the norm in the industrial areas late at night.

What a bunch of oversensitized sheeple!

Umm, I noticed! That's one long driveway! We need to put a 'christmas tree' at the start line and some timing lights with a digital display at the other end!!!

Not a bad idea its great for launches even though its up hill but that just makes it easier to stop at the end
