• RIX Storm S3 Thermal Imaging Scope WINNER!

    Thank you to everyone who particpated!

    See the winner

HOLY CRAP

A lot of us stay and fight the good fight. CA was a red state in my youth. I blame all the p*ssies who up and left, for handing the state to the FN Leftists without a battle. Nobody ever won a fight by fleeing. If CA could turn red again, it would save the nation's future. But the Left has PURCHASED the vote by giving the lion's share of the state budget to teachers (who do a sh*t job here) and until that is corrected, it'll take a miracle to flip the state again. Been this way for far too long now.

I fly the colors on my home 24/7 (properly lit at night) and ride with the Patriot Guard...thus the flags on the bike.

Bless you man
 
When she's pissed she has a little Beth in her but mostly she works (like I do) to build a retirement that is not going to leave us (or our kids/grandkids) wanting. Fortunately we both love what we do so it doesn't always "feel" like work.
 
Okay, this is funny so I wanna share it.

I never would have purchased this car for myself, would be too self-serving in my mind. The fact my better half secured it was nothing less than stunning. Her middle name is Vivian and the hooker in PRETTY WOMAN talking about the car "cornering like it's on rails" is named Vivian...so I named the Bentley Vivian.

The missus comes home from work after a long day last night, sets her purse, laptop and stuff on the table, looks at me with a serious expression and asks, "I see your girlfriend is wearing yoga pants now. How many times were you inside Vivian today?" :D

I reply, "Only once but I filled her up." We both laugh.

How my wife can come home after a 13hr day and clown around like this is beyond me. I am unworthy. Lucky, but unworthy.

Damn, the FAA shut down the track at the Mojave airport where I was gonna get her up to over 200mph. Can't find anyplace legal to do this. Can't do it on an empty highway, might lose my CCW permit. Won't risk that. Is there anywhere with a long straightaway where people can do this legally in the U.S.? Anyone know? At 200+ you're going a football field length per second. I wanna go FAST!

Why can't we have an emoji for envy? I would love to have that car. Well, I say that but then there is the maintenance, etcetera. A car light that you don't get serviced down at Gary's Alignment, as good as he may be.
 
Bonneville Flats?

Do not take anything to Bonneville. Not if you don’t wanna have to take it apart to the last nut and bolt to take salt out of it after visiting and running on the flats.

That car would be scrap after five minutes on the salt flats.

There is a road east of Vegas known as the loneliest road in America. I’m pretty sure there are stretches there where you could see far enough to recognize a police car. And get it up to 200 for a short sprint. Just to say you’ve done it.

That said talk to a couple of Service techs about it. And make sure you do it when the weather is cool or cold. Because you can do crazy speeds in those cars at least they can on test tracks. But what can happen to them in real life when you do that is a whole different story. Tires in particular can be kind of iffy.

I had mine up to 165 with a LOT more pedal and RPM on tap… and it was like being on rails. But just did it the one time

But there’s a big difference between 165 and 200+.

Cheers.!

I really miss Germany… Fastest I got mine was 171 on a long, slightly downhill 3-lane stretch of unrestricted autobahn early one Sunday morning on the way to the Nurburgring. My car’s theoretical top speed is 174, and the speedo said 176, but the gps said 171 so I’m going with that one.

My wife would get me an annual pass (unlimited laps) every year we lived there as a combination Father’s Day/Birthday gift. Managed to get in almost 500 laps on the ‘Ring in a variety of cars. Most fun was in my friend’s Lotus Exige, but my fastest was in my CR:

Still nowhere near as fast as that Bentley though!

Oh I know. Researched a few spots like this and definitely want pavement. At least 3 miles of it. Don't wanna be this guy.
