    There's a trick to traffic... open up a gap, let it idle along in first.

    Then lay on the horn when the first ******* jumps into your gap.

    You aint kidding about the storms! It was shear ridiculousness from the west side os Salina to almost where 70 turns toll road!

    The rain came down so hard and fast my tape holding the magnet down got soft and the magnet flew off! Thankfully that happened after I got out of the rain, but the magnet slapping against the windshield scared the shi... Carp out of me!

    Saw 3 cars spin off into the ditch, and mine wiggled around a few times in standing water...

    Now I am on the east side of Kansas City, and about to hit the road again... :)

    Yep just got that on my FB feed.

    I have to baby the car home, I have a couple issues... Missing bolts for the BPV and ate another S/C belt... But it will make it! Stopped for the night with Erik, Teresa, and Christie. I am numb and shaking just from the drive today.

    It's pretty interesting... I immediately walked up to it and started touching it. I didn't ask first, and I would never even THINK of doing that to most people's cars (e.g. Dave.O)

    There's just something about it that requires it to be a tactile, as well as visual, experience. :Thumbsup:

    I agree that you are drawn to touching it. IMO,The texture is the cornerstone of Isobell.

    The best photo of Isobell would be following it through the twisty's with the one-ball rolling fireballs when Dick rev-matches on a downshift.....a personal experience!

    The movie is in the works as soon as Dick finishes the screenplay:
    "50 Shades of Rust."

    Thats a great place!! Sounds great if you don't mind doing the remodeling. But the thought of you reproducing is a little troublesome.

    You should have brought home a 120 belt or 400 belt of firecrackers and tossed them at him as walks out to start his bike at 2 AM.

    That will make him Shard himself. :lol:
