    And that boys and girls is why you DO NOT WAVE on the Dragon or Hellbender.

    Save the wave for Fontana if you have to wave.

    When there are more MINI's than any other car on the road, there is no need to wave. WE SEE YOU! Trust me on that one.

    The fire was worth it just to see that MINI smoke vortex coming off the Audi. Approve.

    That required a change of shorts, I'd wager.

    If a person can't wave without crashing, then yes they shouldn't wave. They also shouldn't be driving.

    I disagree, if you are in a switchback turn you would be paying attention and not looking at people taking pictures of you or other idiots waving at you.

    Two hands on the wheel, seat belts on, all radios off and 100% focused.

    Yes I was! If it where any other time of day, or a few feet later in the brakes... I dont even want to think about it! :(

    But live and learn... Just because its a sunrise run on a Sunday morning, that doesn't mean you are safe.

    Well, now I've seen the moment that left that car in WMW's booth late at night getting a custom alignment.

    See AWD does not make you a better driver, it makes you overconfident.

    Exhaust hot + Dry leaves = Fire (duh).

    Lucky he was in in California because they would not be able to put it out with an ocean of water next to it because a little salt water could harm a field mouse.

    I used to have a dog that did that at the side of the road, but he usually aimed at a tree.

    Leaving early one morning I found a MINI Vert laying turtle in the middle of the road. Precious little room for error on that road. We all learn from our mistakes.

    Found this little oopsy. As I understand the Coupe waved to Killboy, then proceeded into the ditch.

    Whoops!

    Absolutely, don't wave if you can't handle it & don't chew gum either. Drive, wave or chew gum. I know which one I'd do. Although I'm capable of doing all of them.... :wink:

    On a race track it is 100% go for it full on race face concentration. Driving like that on a public road is, well how do I put this gently? Stupid..... Yes one needs to pay attention as always everywhere.
