Jeph, I would love for my commanding officer to see a 1100 clam/day rental car charge. I would be looking for a new line of work very quickly. I did rent a car though...Dodge Caliber. Any idea what that is?

Yeah, it's a mini SUV on a Neon chassis. Nothing to write home about, that's for sure.

So what day do you want to do this? Do you know yet?

Hey guys! Feb 13 I return from 2+ weeks in Taiwan, so if I fall asleep in the cheese fries, leave me be.

Walking back from lunch today we saw a black Cayman trying to squeeze down a narrow street lined with cars, and earlier this week a silver 997. The way people drive I'd be nervous about owning a Porsche in Taiwan. Actually this last fall I thought about moving here for a year, but decided against it after discovering how much it would cost to import my Boxster. The things we do (or don't do) for our cars!

I get into Dallas on the 14th. I have a test scheduled (ATP written) on the 15th and I think that takes all day until early evening (2000hrs or so). So I am free from 16th to 20th.

SUV on neon chassis? Dude, that sucks.

The Grizz is officially out for Cheeseburgers in Paradise. Mrs. Grizz is visiting her father in Florida that week and I am in charge of puppysitting. Sorry dudes. Apparently somebody has shaved my ass!

On the 21st I'm headed to Atlantic City for the Classic Car Auction at the Convention Center. Anybody else going?

Gents,

I am in Dallas staying at the DFW Marriot South. If you all are still up for the heart stopping fries, I will be available starting Friday night. I will PM cell phone number to Jeph and Tim.

Jeph,

Enterprise messed up the car I reserved...instead of the Dodge Calibre...I'm driving a brand new Audi A6 3.2. Schweet.

Audi, very nice. Much better than a dinky Dodge.

So, either Friday night, Saturday (lunch) or Monday night works for this local. I'll check with the others...

That sucks Jeph. Surely the officer only stopped you to get a closer look at your new bumper.

Grizzly, you really missed out today. One more chance on Monday night!

Grizzly · 02-17-2007, 04:17 PM

Great photo.

I trust you guys enjoyed yourselves. I would have loved to have flown out to join you but family responsibilities call.

Sucks about the traffic stop. Hopefully, Jeph got a break.

Rail26 · 02-17-2007, 09:56 PM

Gents,

What time on Monday?

timothy · 02-17-2007, 10:15 PM

I think Jeph is going to make a new thread about the Monday event, but he earlier proposed 8pm. One thing I do know is a venue change from Addison to Southlake. That will be easier on 98Boxster98 since he works in Fake Dallas (aka Ft Worth).
