Caption contest

Here is a pic I found on the Grand Sport Registry. How would you caption this? I pick the winner of the best caption and will place $5 in one of the slot machines while I am in Vegas on Thanksgiving for you. If I win anything on that one spin I will split it with you. Contest ends at midnight tonight EST Nov 21, 2006. I will also supply a pic of the event!

Well, the owners manual said to vary engine speed during break in.

We have a winner: Firemanjim! I will be having turkey dinner on Thanksgiving at the Orleans. I'm not sure if they even have $5 slots there but I will do my best and take pics to boot.
I'll split the winnings! I'll post the results when I return home.
Maybe if we get lucky we can both be driving new Z06s!
