Well, if you want to get ridiculous, you could spend 1.4 mil for a Ferrari La Ferrari (a Ferrari The Ferrari, now that is a stupid name for a car). However, I don't think it would raise anyone 180 feet in the air (unless you pole vault it over a berm at 200 mph).

Hope someone takes a portable TV (do those things even exist anymore?) to the breakfast so you all can see Ruchurd Pitty win the 57th annual Daytona!

There were big-screens at the breakfast shop, but nobody was watching any of what was going on.

We were talking important stuff, like gardening and Coleman lanterns.

My discussions around breakfast are usually about bacon or such.

Yeah, way too much build up for the race IMHO. Another reason to turn it off until the race starts.

don't exactly remember how "barbie jeeps" came up in conversation at breakfast.... but i found some good ones on you tube to watch!

usually this is where it begins


then a little more power and not long after this a rubber tire conversion

then when the youngins don't fit no more, mom or dad start downhill racing on the weekend 4x4 trip

Hi guys
One cool thing from last night.
My son is my equipment tech.
During a commercial he comes up and says, "I just held Chris Kyles dog tags in my hand".
To answer my puzzled look, he tells me that Chris' wife is sitting next to us and she accidentally dropped them onto my platform.
He picked them up and gave them back to her and had a short conversation.
He was very moved,,,, as was his dad.

Bad Metrolink crash this morning up in Oxnard at Rice Ave. Evidently a truck tried to cross the tracks. Nothing left of the truck, 3 rail cars turned on their side, 30 injuries reported so far.
Kinda wonder how these happen still, especially with light traffic at 5:00 a.m. hour.
