You... guys do realize he was more than likely making a comment about how effectively his Merc mutes exterior noise right?  That's how it reads to me.

That isn't how it read to me.

I've seen enough accidents involving motorcycles to last a lifetime. I still ride and comments about 'rolling' a rider tend to infuriate me.

My 3 day weekend rental for the trip to VonMessa's.  2014, 305 HP V6 with 7,000 miles.  After 5.5 hours my arse got sore, luckily I was only 1/2 hour from his house (or mine) at that point.  Ran 80 MPH + the entire length of PA (twice) and averaged 28 MPG with the top down.  80 to 100+ going uphill was surprising easy to say the least.

Best $100 I've ever spent at a rental car company.  Fun car!

Now there's a bargain.

Mrs Danny is hooked on Mustangs, and when I looked for a rental in the UK you are looking at £350 ($600 approx.) for 50 mile round trip, and you don't even get to drive, someone from the rental company drives !!!!!

It's cheaper by half to take a 45 minute pleasure flight in a Cessna/Piper :bhead

Ah yes...  Cyber Gray Metallic...  Such a good color.  I wish they would've kept that one going.

SS or RS?

This is the official company picture because I don't have a good one.



Toyota Aurion.

A very nice car. However its technically not mine.

However my first car ever is planning on being one of these.

I know this is a different kind of bike, but it's what I love: Mountain biking. This is my new 2014 Diamondback Recoil Pro. It's not the top of the line by any means but for what I use it for it's exactly the right bang for exactly the right buck.



And this is my classic baby. I've owned her since 1993. I paid very close to the original sticker price for her back then: $2,750. She is an unrestored 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner 383 4-speed all matching numbers with 38,600 original miles. The only thing I did was get some factory paint from the Chrysler Newark Assembly plant back in 1998 and paint her in Chrysler Deep Amethyst Pearlcoat.
