That illustration has clearly been tampered with A blue car passing a red car? C'MON!!!

Further evidence that this illustration is doctored is that there is a red car and the requisite "LEO" is no where to be seen. D'OH!

Where's the illustration of how Freak does it?

1) That was an illegal pass
2) Nice riding of the perforated shoulder
3) I was distracted by all the natural beauty, ...n'stuff...

Oh Wow he did just blaze by the shiny red Vette.
I did not see anything illegal about that, no oncoming traffic.. That yellow line? Those are just for decoration!

Interesting how those two blue Vettes just kept out of reach!!

The power of Blue!!

That’s why they code named the fastest Corvette “Blue Devil”.

Updated departure time is 10:00 AM so that we do not get tangled up in the large motorcycle parade "Emily's Parade". Everyone please be sure to arrive at the Marriott BEFORE 10:00 AM.

Surprise! I never did see that coming.

I bet you wont miss the next BBQ.

T, It's cool your still ok in my book but it would have been nice to see your car turn or even go fast for a change..


Now all I need is my new Hawk pads to come in the mail so I can finish off my brake job and I'm good to go.

Thanks for the heads up. We'll roll from Colorado Springs a little earlier so that we'll be there on time.
