Congrats to Dillon and #3. The rest of the race looked like a bunch of GS'ers cars trying to impress the Girls on Parade day pushing each other around. Wide bodies couldn't make it through the mess but the Slim body baser's dodged them all. They made their crashes exciting though.

Especially for my wide-bodied, big ego friends

No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.

If you don't pay your exorcist you can get repossessed.

I’m reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can’t put it down.

I didn’t like my beard at first. Then it grew on me.

Did you hear about the crossed-eyed teacher who lost her job because she couldn’t control her pupils?

When you get a bladder infection, urine trouble.

When chemists die, they barium.

I stayed up all night to see where the sun went, and then it dawned on me.

I changed my iPod’s name to Titanic. It’s syncing now.

England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool .

Haunted French pancakes give me the crepes.

This girl today said she recognized me from the Vegetarians Club, but I'd swear I've never met herbivore.

I know a guy who's addicted to drinking brake fluid, but he says he can stop any time.

A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.

When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U.C.L.A.

I got some batteries that were given out free of charge.

A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.

A will is a dead giveaway.

With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

Police were summoned to a daycare center where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

Did you hear about the fellow whose entire left side was cut off? He's all right now.

A bicycle can't stand alone; it's just two tired.

The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine last week is now fully recovered.

He had a photographic memory but it was never fully developed.

When she saw her first strands of gray hair she thought she'd dye.

Acupuncture is a jab well done. That's the point of it.

Those who get too big for their pants will be totally exposed in the end.

Nice Wayback...Last time I tried waxing the car at this time of year it almost froze to the car, and it was liquid wax.. and a mess to get off. Guess I'll have to wait awhile.

H1, finally got on YouTube, signed in and figured out how to post a video. Just a test from some phone video I had from a trip we took last summer. It was heading down to Crescent City Cali just before we got into some Redwoods. Just South of the Oregon border. Not much but at least it worked for me. You'll have to try that next

Got a little Dash Cam to try out on an up-coming trip in March. If I get it working will try to download some and post it. Looks like it will be easy if I can get it put together on my computer then upload to YouTube...

Nowucme I wanted to mention to you and my brother Ruxxy that you can expect a couple weeks of crappy weather there in the PNW or western USA..................

seems that the Polar Vortex has split into 2 and one is impacting your weather for the worse, while making the Great Lake State warmer............... and the other is bringing crappy weather to Europe................... use Google to get more details if desired............

Thanks RKJ, been using the Weather channel and Accu weather. It doesn't look good clear into March but it comes and goes. When I get away from Spokane it looks better. Been following it 15 days out on both of those.

Edit....Didn't have all the Technical about the Vortex and Polar Bears

Lot of work on a base car......course it being so narrow probably only took like a half hour to do all that stuff........ A Grand Sport is so wide it takes like a can and a half to wax it........ it's so wide that it's on both sides of the garage at once...... it's so wide the cops hire it to be a road block.....
it's so wide I have to use a wide angle lens just to take a pic of it.....

A man walks into a Bed Bath and Beyond and says, may I have a bar of soap please.....the nice gal at the counter asks, Do you want that scented? They guys says, no that's ok I'll just take it with me now.....

oh mon, dats some funny chit H1....... yeah....true dat dude

What is the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?

You guys are so lucky. Sunny day here so I took the new Dash Cam on a ride to try it out. Better than expected, went down to the bottom of my hill..and back and it worked perfect. Will move it up a little on the Vette.

Made a little video and somehow even got it on Youtube with Google trying to mix me up. Even got a little music on it for H1, RKJ, and Ruxxy...and you all. Seemed to be appropriate to GS'ers and basser's alike. As they say, Thanks for Watching...

Full screen is best...just saying.

Yesterday I stopped at a light next to a C7Z06.
Unfortunately this particular C7Z had been wrapped in bright gold metallic. Not

Bright gold with black accents and wheels........in little old Mansfield. What a ugly waste of a beast of a Corvette.

Sad thing is I bet the owner thought it was special.

When a new Z doesn't scream "look at me" enough, wrap in bright gold metallic.
