FELEN, holycow that's funny. Really was just kidding, but damn. I did notice my last time at the track that the little silver **** was feeling really slick from the sweat. Now I know to be more careful! Matt, you're funny as hail. GP, you just reminded me of Tony the tiger.

RE: I still scare myself...
imma fan of the second gear squirrlyness after a hard shift from first.. u gotta go to thrid though and punch it for a second (when there's a long enough straight away to get to 80) that's the imfamous gear everyone misses so when your not scared anymore, get practice. i rarely every push my car fast either since i'm usually trying to save gas, so when i do to try and make a light, get someone off my back, of just feel like steppin on it, its always a shock cus i forget how fast it is 
i'm practicing shifting fast as we speak to prep for the mgw short shift timing.. commin in about a month.. quadrant and firewall adjuster on the way, can't wait

Gotta love the mach power, as my friends like to explain the feeling in the passenger seat during wot, "First you get thrown back into the seat and then it keeps pushing you harderagainst the seattill you let off the throttle" [8D]. So Sweet to hear!

What I love to do is give it some gas when my girlfriend is trying to turn the a/c on.
It's just a nice way of saying, "No bitch! Sidown!"

Now, I'm not going to call my wife or kids a bitch, but Iused to dothe same thing to them. My wife and daughter weren't fans (I learned quickly only to do it once to the wife), my daughter (9) didn't like it but laughed, but my son (8) LOVED it!
It's SO funny - I'd do it when they wanted to change the radio or something - I'd be like *stomp* "Hey hey hey, don't daddy's radio now!" and laugh and wink at them.
It got to the point where my son would pretend like he was going to touch the radio just so I would goose the old feller. Finally, I said, "Son, if you wanna feel the power, just ask me to give it hell. Just make sure your mom's not around."
And he'd say, "Dad, give im hell!" and I'd graba gear and clip my toenails in the fanblades. Good times.....That boy's going to be a monster, lemme tell ya!

<3 Forces of gravity.
And ok ok I don't call my girlfriend a bitch, well not on a serious note, but I find it hilarious when I happen to be accelerating normally and she's trying to reach the ***** but keeps being pushed back in her seat. Gosh our cars are such teases!
