What's the betting mine won't get through Australian Customs....... SMERSH will know too.

If it does, I'm not looking forward to the 3am hammering on the front door - and what am I going to tell my wife when she spies the incriminating evidence???

Mine arrived unscathed for what it is worth. Since I am fond of my silver wheels I am apprehensive about inserting it into my Box Car. I don't want the machine to self destruct! Going over to DE at Lime Rock next Tues. and plan on "playing" it on the way over (on way back too if all is well). Since they are coming after my 20 rd magazines they may as well take the disc along with it. Looking for inexpensive Kevlar undies, anybody have a source?

Is it true that you gain 15 hp and 20 ft lb of torque when the disc is finished working over your ECU?

For some reason, while playing the disk, women want to get romantic and then kill me. This may be the best CD ever...and the worst.

Thanks JD!

It's a miracle!

I have been a partially sighted, one legged, bald, hunch back for over half my life.
By the time I got to track 4, all my ailments have been cured.

My leg re-grew, 20/20 vision restored, a fine thatch of hair, and I now stand 6'2" with no hunch back.

My shirts refuse to button further than Simon Cowell's do. I have sprouted a moustache to rival a young Burt Reynolds.

I can't even begin to describe the female attention!
I also gave it a spin in my daily driver- guess what.......that's right. The wheels turned carbon black!

Don't forget the part about being able to crack walnuts with your buttocks now !

I hadn't played my copy for five minutes when my 9 yo prodigy of a daughter promptly crumpled her Cornell acceptance letter and started asking questions about training at some place near Washington. Anyone ever hear of a place called "the Farm"?

A special package arrived Thursday. USPS delivery avoided drawing attention. However, I have noticed increased traffic around the neighborhood of unmarked patrol cars. There's also a rather non-descript panel van parked 24X7 across the street three houses down.

I am taking my Boxster out of storage next Saturday. I will wait until then to use the contents of this package for two reasons: 1) My '99 Acura is unworthy of this honor; and 2) I made need to take rapid, evasive action.

Thanks SWC!
