Like this? A little unfair for grouse and deer but sure.

That's pretty bad ass...

I like the sound of that thing...Is there a place to hear different machine gun sounds? Something deeper than the above.

Back onto happy talk, let's talk about beer and lots of horsepower Motor Trend Great American Beer Run. I'm more into fresh Margs. I can't waste ripe citrus, you know.
Interesting that they only got 14mpg. My 2008 Corvette will almost get that at a buck thirty and 30mpg driven gently at 65mph.
Kurt, if you get back out this way or get your new gig in LA, be sure to sample the coast between San Francisco and Eureka. It's one of this country's amazing places. Plus Sausalito is a lovely little town. My favorite place is the No Name bar which has live New Orleans Jazz some nights.

I used to have to drive PCH1 out to Marin County in a 35' truck and it was one of those "I should have worn a diaper" roads for a 35' truck, so seeing it in a normal sized car would be nice.

I couldn't tell sometimes which was her screaming/squeeling and which was the drivetrain.

I was just reading on LSx TV about 996 LS swaps. Grassroots Motorsports also just had an article on this. Really, really tempting. I'm starting to like the Richard Hammond. He did an interview in Car and Driver where he talks about his preference for Porsches over Ferraris. The Porsche has a job to do and does it. I also like what he said about being able to drive the car rather than just sit in a pub and talk about it.

Did you only drive straight trucks? I remember reading something about an eaton 13 speed.......

I did. It had an Eaton Fuller 10 speed, and a Cummins 110 turbo diesel. and mechanically it was great but it was about the most uncomfortable thing to sit in for long periods of time because the arm rests seemed to be made to cut off circulation to your arms.

I love the crackle out of the pipes from the '60s/'70s car.
