Prpixel, all I have to say is DAMN!!!!! 11 tickets in 5 days! A friend of mine got ticketed on vacation in near Whistler a couple weeks ago. The cop told him he could pay the ticket once he returned to the US or he could just blow it off and wait two years before returning to Canada, because by then the ticket and the warranty for his arrest would be wiped from his record.
I live in Los Angeles and have thought many times of driving up the coast so I could attend one of Skip Barber's one or two-day driving clinics at Laguna Seca. The only thing that worries me is on the drive back I may think I'm Racer X and drive my car off one those beautiful cliffs on Highway One. I almost did that in 1986. I spun out and wound up backwards in the middle of the road. Hopefully, an older and wiser[?] Green-man will realize that those driving schools will also make me a safer driver, one that will react correctly in emergency situations.
I can definitely believe the CRX was that much fun. Small and light make a VERY fun drive. The only thing I've experienced close to that was my '96 Integra GSR. I had H&R springs in that and it felt like a go-kart in comparison to my then new in '99 M3.
A lot of fine cars you've owned and driven. The only one from that list I've driven is the NSX. I love that car. It was like a 168mph Accord. Easy to drive and a great high speed cruiser. I did drive one of those 493HP SL55 AMGs last summer on a blind date. I meet the gal at a resturant and she jumps out and says she wants me to drive because she hates driving. And she owns a $150,000 car? All that power and all those creature comforts made for a very isolated and numb feeling car. Not fun.
Czapp, I can dig it. My coworkers recognize the yellow glow from my monitor that suddenly flashes to a different color when I hear approaching foot steps, heheh. Concealing an audio addiction ain't so bad, at least we're not hiding 47 jars of dried barf in our closets like some of those young gals that suffer from bulimia. Yuck!
