She loves the car! We went out to dinner last night after taking the car for a spin. She took the honor of proving that the digital speed readout has three digits....

She beats me in go-cart racing ( weight advantage) so she is comfortable with speed... she is a worry.

First you have to upload the photos to a web site. It could be your own, maybe one of the photo web sites or whatever. Then you need to know the URL address of the photo.

Then when you compose a note, look at the top and you'll see an icon labeled "IMG". That will let you put in the URL (address) of where the image is stored. That's all there is to it.

This is actually only one way of doing it. The other way is to just browse to the image on your computer and attach that way. You do not need to have a hosting site to get a picture up here.

Very nice and congratulations on the '04 SE 550.



More than I'd ever be willing to pay, but if you don't mind the price, why not.

Well... now have 700 miles under my belt and no complaints. The car is fun to drive. Since I also ride a motorcycle, I know all the twisty roads in Sothern California. The ones I like are sort of like a go-cart track.

I must admit, I have not been pushing things yet but am driving much faster than I have any other car on that type road and I have nothing but good manners from my car.... it just tracks like it is on rails. When they do let go in a turn, what breaks first the front or rear??

re: what breaks first the front or rear??

It depends on your tire pressures.

At factory recommended 29F/36R the front's push (understeer)
Somewhere areound 32-34 in the front you begin to get oversteer.

Personally I like a bit of oversteer at the edge of traction - It seems much easy to throttle steer and correct for. With understeer, I tend to push right out of my lane while clueless clutching the steering wheel and pondering a solution.

I suggest learning on a track - sometimes that ocean is a long way down. At $100-150/day Driver's Education track time is a LOT of fun.

What a good idea. I did that on the motorcycle and had a ball. Also got to be a much better rider quicker than any other way. Any one have suggestions for Socal area?

Vicelike-

Go out to Jamul, take 94 out to Rancho San Diego, follow the road out to Lyons Valley road and have fun. There is a straight away out on Honey Valley road.

It goes forever...

Really nice twisties and open area...

Just an idea...

Scott
