It's a cul de sac, so please feel free to rev, burn out, and drift in front of the house.

And don't forget the blaring stereo playing gangsta rap - hopefully with lots of 'f' and 'b' and 'h' words in it to make my neighbours feel at home <G>

I hope I get the Comet put back together in time so I can put all 2000 watts of stereo to use playing just those tunes for ya Peter!

I am so sad my camera battery was dead for the ride home.. Ran into a guy in a Ferrari F355 in Rosemead.. He gave me a big thumbs up, then down shifted to I guess 4th.. So I dropped to third at about 60mph.. While I did not stay with him, I only lost about a car to 85 when I had to shift…

So he ran it up to pretty decent triple digits, then backed down.. I pulled up next to him again and got the biggest smile/head shake/"what is that thing?" look from this guy..

We did a couple more runs to the mid 80s.. Dude loved it.. And that Ferrari screaming with the deeper uncorked SR noise was just sick..

Best part, he pulled off in Covina, so I'm cruising up the hill at 70, and like 4 Fast/Furious imports came flying up and giving me thumbs up and waves.. it was hilarious..
