GT500 vs. ZL1...

Who was it that said, "Pro Street vs. Pro Tour"?!

Number 3, I think some of the time discrepancies are due to atmospheric/track conditions, year-over-year, and some is due to tire upgrades. SS on Pirellis while 1LE on Goodyears that complement the suspension upgrades; some Vettes upgraded to the all-conquering Michelin Pilot SSs. Which BTW would be a helluva tire for the ZEE, OE...

There is no substitute for "gription"...

I see what you did there and I like it. Combination triple word score for combing Grip and Traction.......................Gription.

Word of the day in The House. Everyone must now try to use it in a conversation today.

Which reminds me of the scene in Super Troopers...............having to use Meow in the conversation. "Hey, what's going on meow?"

There's another..."Sticktion"...which would be combining "stick" (as in making a vehicle "stick" in the corners or when accelerating) with "traction" in any direction...

See, a couple of potential additions to your next Funk and Wagnell...

BTW, with all the crappy weather over the last 2 days (10" of snow here in the last 20 hours...), I sincerely hope we're All Present And Accounted For...

Maybe we should have a Roll Call/Check-in...in time for the New Year.

"LOWDOWN"?

Here Here! (God, I sound like Barry Weiss...could someone answer their name with a "YUUUP"?!)

I read where he was fired from the show and is now suing them. Apparently, at least according the the YUUUUPster himself, some of the lockers were pre loaded with interesting goodies to make the show more interesting. When he complained he said his lockers were no longer getting these extra goodies. Which lead to more complaining and termination. Blah, blah blah.

Annnnnnd YUUUP

Number 3..... Hows the battle against the walls in the "Share's" thread going?








I was trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to say in that thread, then I realized no matter what I said the naysayers would still be naysayers. Some people just can't see the big picture.

Someday, and my secret is safe in The House (soon to be corrected by our housemate to The HouZe) people will realize that I simply go into those areas to stir the pot. I realize it is pointless to try and convince anyone. It turned into a lesson about the constitution last night and I know better to argue about the constitution with a constitutionalist. LOL

Imagine..."reality TV" ain't reality?! Say it ain't so!

Gosh, I'll miss Dave's pearls of wisdom, and his supportive, kind outlook on life...

Any other weather survivors out there for Roll Call? Twister territory? Another blast comin' this weekend. Hunker down, folks...
