  1. On the bright side, the others are worth slightly more now! That sucks though and I hope everyone is OK.
  2. The most frustrating thing about this for me is listening to the completely distorted viewpoints of people who don't have any idea what they're talking about. The ignorance about what a grand jury is, the refusal to accept the facts of the case, the "hands up, don't shoot" slogan which is based on nothing except an invented narrative. Social media has been impossible to look at. I'm so glad Thanksgiving will disrupt this story some because I don't care to see any more about it. Based on the findings of the grand jury, it appears Michael Brown did in fact receive justice and it was delivered to him free of charge at the rate of a bit over 1,000 feet per second.
  3. The first public remarks by the police officer will air tonight at 6:30PM.
  4. Do you like how so many people were saying that the parents were asking for restraint and productive protests and he's out there telling anyone who will listen to "burn this bitch down?"
  5. We had a Chinese college student in our Cars and Coffee group for a couple years, he had a LP570-4 and modded M3. I went to his apartment once and his whole apartment complex was FULL of Chinese students with $75k+ cars in the parking lot.
  6. PCH in August 2013 with the Ohio/PA crew on our way to Half Moon Bay. I rode with DrMac in his then-brand-new Aventador Roadster, the first one in the country. We stayed at the Ritz Half Moon Bay, which I highly recommend to anyone doing a PCH cruise.
  7. Would that include not doing nationally televised interviews, etc? I can't imagine he wouldn't have a book deal, etc. His former profession is no longer available to him unless he becomes a cop in some other locale.
  8. Hearing reports of officer down in Ferguson by credible news outlets. No details yet.
  9. Cars on fire, Walgreens on fire, liquor store looted...
  10. I love my Aquaracer with diamond bezel as a dressy watch. I've been eyeing the Carrera and Monaco for awhile too. I'm torn between another Tag and B&R for my next watch purchase.
  11. Enjoyed the references to each project as an "adventure" since that frames each challenge as a journey and not an obstacle. A great attitude for us all to adopt! Can't wait to see the car.
  12. We need a Cats SV group photo! Beautiful!
  13. My little brother just got back from Africa where he was providing medical aid work. He was working in Tanzania, about 3,500 miles away from the Ebola Zone, but of course you're still concerned when it is your family. On his second day there, he's giving an injection to a patient. The young girl swatted at his hand when the needle stung her and ended up causing him to STICK HIMSELF with the DIRTY NEEDLE! They were both screened for everything and came back negative. He's going through a second round of screens and tests to confirm the first round but it looks like he will be fine. He didn't tell me or our mom about this whole incident until after all the tests were in...probably a wise move.
  14. This is a great act of kindness, congratulations! The difference that can make in someone's life must be immeasurable to them and their families.
  15. I was visiting my mom about a week ago when her whole city lost power. As I drove down her street, I saw one house completely lit up and could clearly hear the sound of a large generator running. I had two simultaneous thoughts; first, it must be nice to have that backup option, and second, wow that makes for a nice brightly lit target if there was an extended problem. I'll likely have a backup generator when I buy a house and I think they're great but just don't forget to keep your lights low and your shotgun ready if the outage drags on longer than a day or two.
  16. Very nice! Love the 570!
  17. Thanks to DrMac for bringing his amazing P1 to Columbus a couple weeks ago for an event with our Cars and Coffee group. Our club photographer shot the car and got some incredible shots, including this one which Tim hasn't seen yet! I've got a (different) amazing photo getting printed up and it will be headed your way soon, buddy!
  18. I believe AMH is a board sponsor and comes highly recommended for this stuff: http://www.exoticwholesaleparts.com
  19. That's pretty amazing. Those views are
  20. So excited to hear about the improvements in this car. It's a great step forward for Lamborghini and I can't wait to drive one of these things!
