I can see how you can get Pat & Scott mixed up...Scott is Old....Pat is young...Scott is fast....Pat is slow....Lol All you white people look the same to us Asians as well.




:
Looking at my data log for the best top speed on that back straight. From the GPS my best was a 105MPH. Top speed on my fastest lap was 103. Best lap 2:10:37 and a virtual best 2:08:56.

I think 105 is just before the rev limit with my short tires, but I was not that far from the brake zone markes, maybe rode the rev limit for a couple of secs. So I think 110 is possible but 120 is not in the cards for my car on that back straight.

So I finally bit the bullet and bought the damn thing. Kay jewelers had a good sale so I went ahead and bought the whole set for engagement and wedding bands.

May I suggest in the spirit of marital bliss, you edit "the damn thing" to "I just bought my wife a bitching rock". That can be interpreted any way you need it.

I speak from 24 years of marriage, always leave yourself a way out

It's a harsh reality of marriage. The thing to remember is try not to look at it negatively. If my wife didn't regulate a little I'd spend ALL my money on the Z. It's good to have a counterpart to keep you grounded. She just has to understand that she's marrying a car guy and their will always be some kind of hobby money there.

Pat....just remember this phrase....." Happy wife, happy life ! "

So make the wife happy first and all should be fine. Michelle understands your interest in cars and driving or she would be gone by now....so just be fair and equal with what money you guys spend on each other's hobbies and all will be fine.

If you abuse the situation then you be in hot water quickly. But if your both aware of each others needs & wants then you should be golden.

I like Michelle a lot and if she has hung out with you for this long....then you two are meant for each other forever ! ....besides, she makes some good A$$ treats for us for dessert.
