    A scary thing to find when you open your trunk.............

    ................so I had to rent a car to get home yesterday.........a long and sordid tale of woe :ack......... and I saw this when I opened up the trunk. Now maybe I live a sheltered life a bit but I found the trunk escape mechanism high comedy......particularly the stick man who jumps from...

    Turbo or Supercharged

    My answer to this question may seem overly "direct" but that is how I am. I have driven every type of GT set-up except the TT/SC. When I got my second GT I could not wait to get the SC off and get it back to being a TT like my first car. A lot of people talk about turbo lag, but I just don't see...

    Ford GT Rear Ratios?

    I look at what you have done with tremedous admiration. When I think of your car I waffle between how INSANELY COOL it would be to drive it versus thinking that it would just be insane. :lol I can't imagine watching the RPM gauge go to over 8,000. :eek :thumbsup:thumbsup If you ever did a...

    Ford GT Rear Ratios?

    My limiter is 7,200...I think....and I hit it on a long run crossing the line at 232 and change. There is not much more in 5th except for the crazy cars that Mark and Ray have. Maybe another 1-2mph if you time the line and the limiter perfectly. My car will still accelerate in 6th but much...

    Skydiving Tip:

    Funny thing is stuff like this vid brings people out of the woodwork wanting to jump. Makes it seem more "dangerous" than it actually is. Actually when you think about all that is involved with a skydive, $10,000 parachute system and maintenance....airplane and proper...

    Skydiving Tip:

    Unless you were in the plane you have no idea what she was saying to him. Again I have seen and jumped with many people who acted the exact same way in the door....grabbing at the edge of the door etc.. and they whole time are saying they are ready and that they want to go. The actual exit was...

    Skydiving Tip:

    There is a saying in skydiving for students, you are paying for the airplane ride, the jump is free. :lol I rode the airplane down with students who changed their mind 3 or 4 times and I got paid for the jump. There is no incentive for me to push someone out of the plane. However the exit was...

    Skydiving Tip:

    I was a full time instructor for 3 years and I did over 1,100 tandems and more than 1,600 AFF student jumps. Unfortuantely I have seen stuff like that before. People get scared all the time at the door and getting them out or "keying" the exit as we called it was common. However not having her...

    Bugatti Veyron....It's what's for lunch.

    They can complain about conditions all they want, but they ran right around what they should have. That 1,000hp number is bhp not rwhp......or in their case allwheelhp. :wink 800-850hp to the ground is low 200's in the mile at best, period. Everyone thinks they are going to be faster than what...

    Bare Metal Wrap - Heritage inspired theme...

    Red is actually the toughest color to put a wrap on. They did a great job especially since you said they did not remove the headlights.

    Doing research...how many factory black "stripe delete" built?

    Yeah.....I meant tomorrow for my team. This event planning is screwing up my days. You can pick a P then too and not have to worry about being wrong. :lol Although the meltdown did make for entertaining viewing. :biggrin ..........Crosby was a bit of a punk with the glove push though.....I am...
