I wouldn't worry much about it... most people will likely make things worse than better with all that fiddling. Or they'll use a reference setting... which is what a lot of us do now;) Also, I wonder if it's always changing (auto-mode) how do you learn to drive it that way?

An option should you not have a father to walk the bride down the aisle

pretty wild

OMG! You'll need to put that thing in a wind tunnel to work on downforce! Maybe time to add a full cage so you can put a big midget outlaw wing on top of it;)

It's kind of relative.... racing=full-cage... but if you drive mainly roads I'd be more concerned with adding side protection. I wouldn't say a properly made rollbar is a joke, have you ever seen a pick up roll over? They don't have to meet car safety standards (maybe newer ones do) and I've seen the cab tops flattened. Guess it depends on how you plan driving... more risky, more rollbars;)

It's a great time to have cash available for toys. Though I'm rarely one of those lucky guys to get a great deal. Chad, you can take solace that if your in the market for another toy it's probably got a similar discount.

I heard the Veyron was so limited on space that it doesn't have A/C.... urban myth?

That's good news (printed it out & in car). Of course the main reason I put the plugs in is because of the speed I'm going... guess it's better than getting a ticket for two infractions;)

The 7 is always under cover in the garage. But after Sunday's drive I've left the cover off just so I can see the car when coming and going thru the garage (have to admit I've stopped a time or two to stare at it)

We can't wear earplugs in California (though most sportbikers wear them under their helmet). I wear some molded earplugs from my bike days... but their purple so only out in the foothills or if on the freeway for any length of time... should of gotten the flesh color. I wish we could wear ear protection as that would definately solve the problem. Baseball cap with chinstrap would be pretty dorky

Mine pretty much matches the rollbar rake.... which you don't seem to have much of. To reduce drag, I think it would look better cutting the window down rather than laying back (don't know how the wipers would work in either case.

Especially the wide belt and sideburns;)

Lucky you! Kind of pitiful that I wouldn't know how to use most of that stuff;)

Well it was about 90 degrees when I got back a little after 9am. I cut it a little short as the morning sun's glare was getting to me.... with no visor, brushed aluminum dash (didn't think about sun's reflection when choosing it) and the fact I can't keep a baseball cap on kept me squinting thru my sunglasses. Still was fun and was able to show a couple sportbikers what these cars can do in the corners;)

Going to leave for a couple hour drive around 7:30.... any guesses how hot it'll be when I get back home?

That's great news!

Little stroll down memory lane YouTube - This is Rallying

that's in California City Airport (Mojave)... where they did the first private flight into space. Awesome camera work.

Wow! I haven't had anything like that in years... though I'll make sure to let you guys know if I do as it was amusing to hear;)

I've come to the conclusion that no man's an island and the country is full of morons. No matter how responsible you, an individual are, the idiots and those that prey upon them will negatively affect you if they are left to their own devices. Hence, I've become more liberal on my views of becoming a nanny state. Wall Street and banking need to have regulations restored and updated, we need to become more self-sufficient with energy (which most people won't do unless forced), and health care costs will bankrupt us all if not fixed (this will be the hardest solution to find). It's sad that we can't just be responsible for our own self and family. But as someone who's career has put me in neighborhoods/homes all over one of the 60 most populous cities in the nation I can tell you it's a freaking crazy in some areas and you'd be amazed how some live! Many of these people literally can't fend for themselves and will never be productive. I don't have the answer but ignoring them by reducing government help would lead to chaos. I guess figuring out how to reduce this population (not racial but economically speaking) without being draconian is the big question. Sorry... getting off the topic. Obviously I'm for helping to create jobs and hopefully this Clunker Bill will help in some way.

Funny that he wears a helmet but there's nothing but a cheap seat, sealt belt & flimsy sheet metal around him... Colin Chapman would be proud

very nice!

Built by an artist.... beautiful show car but I'd hate to have to maintain all that polished metal and keep the wood varnished;)

"...My cars brother is for sale..." That may be illegal;)

If my wife knew their was an ultralite out there without the side exhaust she'd make me do it regardless of performance! Of course yours is a different motor and all.... I am working on a heat shield though.
