Short answer: No, not legally.

I believe it is illegal to wear a headset of the type described by Mike in the original post while driving in some states. edited for clarity (in red)

A quick search I did indicated that the WIX 51348 would be the suitable filter, but the 51215 might work as well (might not have the anti-drain back valve that the 51348 has; it is unclear). Both of these are the same size stubby type. edit - Gol-dang, that 51335 filter is short! Less than 2-1/2 inches high!

He got married.

That family must be from one of them South-East Asian areas where they eat cats, I guess...

I enjoyed this article and the embedded video clips about a "yo-yo master" on various Mid-West morning shows a lot. http://deadspin.com/5535220/fake-yo+yo-trickster-fools-every-tv-station-everywhere

I was at the gas station.

The Nittos looked pretty stable on your left turn from Lawrence onto Elko yesterday, but appeared a bit more slippy-slidy on the left onto Lawrence Station/Old Mt. View Alviso Road under harder throttle once the light turned green.

Hi Craig, I am interested in the doors and and top, please. E-mail sent. -Sean

It's like Carol Doda got into hot-rodding.

Car looks good. It must have been a difficult build, because you appear to have aged a bit between the crate photo and the first drive photo.

From the data sheets I have found, and comparing the two closest similar sizes: ACB9 in 6.5/23.0-13M size (165mm) weigh 15 lbs per tire CR6 ZZ in 175/70HR13 size (6.9") weigh 21 lbs per tire So with ACB9s, 6 lbs/corner weight savings over the CR6 ZZs; 24 lbs total weight saved (unsprung), plus your wallet will weigh that much less too. NOTE: The ACB9s are also available in 5.0/22.0-13M size, listed at 12 lbs per tire, but that is a significantly narrower tire. Source: ACB9 data sheet (scroll down) CR6 ZZ data sheet Don't recall hearing from anybody who has used either one, though.

There was an article on pistonheads about a funky/cool one-of-a-kind MB race hauler just the other day here http://i321.photobucket.com/albums/nn384/BBL-Sean/smileys/Merctrux2-L.jpg

Uh, no. Mockingbird.

I wonder how they can get away with using the Brembo name so brazenly? This one is my favorite: a replica of a Ferrari 612 key for 150 euros! That's $225 for a fake key, sold by Ferrari themselves. At least they saw their error and took it off the market after being publicly shamed.

Yes. The 10th digit of the VIN indicates the model year on Caterhams. http://7faq.com/owbase/ow.asp?ChassisNumbers (scroll down)

Here's a 0-30 one for $19.99: http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/product/4860/Tire_Gauges ...and a name brand one for slightly more: http://www.mawonline.com/google/PRH30XA.HTM

I could easily make a joke here about women in Los Angeles or something, but it's just too easy.

I was in Japan for most of August. Five separate Seven sightings in that time.

Maybe these guys could offer some advice: http://www.super7cars.com

What is your reply, typically?

As a rule, I don't generally believe in the concept of heroes, but this man was my hero (he is the guy in my avatar). RIP Dr. Borlaug. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090913/ap_on_re_us/us_obit_borlaug_9

As I heard it, the author of SB 100, California Senator Johannessen, is a real car guy who pushed this bill against great resistance in the state Senate. The only way he could get it through at all was to include an annual cap on the exemptions issued. It never would have passed at all otherwise. Or so I have heard. To your original question, I would say it is not difficult to register a Caterham 7 in California in full compliance with the law through the SB 100 process, if you do your homework up front. However, the 500 car limit is currently woefully inadequate for the number of applicants, so it can be a bit of a lottery. Preparation is crucial.
