I just read an article about how cops in North America are getting tricky busting people texting and driving. NY spent all this money (million or so) on lifted SUVs to catch people as well as use spotters on over passes, ComSonics in VA is working on a tool like a radar gun that can detect if someone is texting and my favorite was the one about the Hobo Cops in Canada who dress as Hobos to see if people are texting.

Perhaps if there was more educational funding in the areas in which you went to school, then you would be able to construct actual sentences and do so with some sound grammar.

Here is something to get you started. A sentence, in its most fundamental form, needs at least three elements: subject, verb and object.

You are welcome. I am here to help.

English and grammar in general is of no importance to me I can speak it, that's all I need to do. As far as constructing a sentence I couldn't care less. There are more important things in life than forming a correct sentence.

Soooo.

it seems like somebody didn't like my Z.







seems like somebody shoved a rod in there and bend the **** out of my fender.

on other news. the GT-R is back home for a week before he has to be dyno mapped and all the ECU bugs fixed. the ECU is freaking the **** out because almost literally everything got upgraded. none of the settings for suspension,throttle and traction control work, it stalls sometimes, sometimes random safety mode. but the new turbos need to be broken in before they go full boost. on other news the GT-R is getting the HKS 4.1 stroker kit and upgraded gearbox. 1000+ hp GT-R in a month or two.

also new rims

I tend to fall back on something Mark Twain said. He was an American writer as well as humorist who wrote many famous works such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Anyway, he said "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

Thanks for stopping by; you are free to go and continue your celebration of the "Setting the Bar Low".

I pulled the camera out of the box and stuck it on the windshield and plugged it in. I need to play with the settings but the video isn't too bad out of the box.
Please note the silver RX-8 flying past in the left lane on expressway at 100+mph (about :55 seconds)
