I'm still not sure what to get due to the crazy laws we have here in Illinois. The worst being that Illinois recently has changed their laws favorably for us enthusiasts lowering the limit to 35% from I think 50%. Chicago said no-no and are imposing what's call "home-rule" and are sticking to the old law. which everyone really knows actually means "we run the state so we can do whatever we want"

I have never called ahead to tell anyone I wanted to test drive a vehicle. Did you do that in opes that the process would be smoother?

But I am surprised when Acura, the premium brand of Honda, provide such an below average service… |

Mastering stuff takes time. For example, my Uncle worked on fishing boats and he started off the guy who put the little fish on the hooks. It's a low-end job, but it still follows the guild system; apparently it takes years to get truly good at it and move up.
Anyway, he was an apprentice for many years, slowly learning the trade, getting the little bait fish just right in the hook, taking all of the abuse and ribbing from the more experienced guys. It was a hard-scrabble existence for him, but it was his life's dream so he kept working and working at it until he became a Journeyman. It was a blessed day in our family the day we all went down to the docks to greet his returning boat, bringing him safely back once more to port -- now a journeyman. We were all so very proud of him and I can still picture his smiling face as the boat pulled into its berth. I cannot remember how long he was a journeyman -- I was older and on my own and we kind of lost touch for a while. I do, however, remember getting the telegram from him announcing that he had finally reached the peak of his profession. A tear came to my eye and my throat tightened when I read that my uncle had finally made it. He was officially a Master-Baiter. Anyway, Ms. Pintsize, keep working on it and you too shall master whatever you set out to do.

We had a good time at Mosport today. I was surprised to see the 370z Nismo's their. The guys were very nice to talk to and even offer to let Mini GaleForce sit in one of the cars for a picture. We tried, but mini GaleForce was like a cat over a bath tub. Weird because at home all he wants to do is sit in Daddy's race car. We met dustin@Z1motorsports, he was a good guy. The team had him working like crazy.
I took over 800 pictures, many of the Nismo's, a few of the Hawk brakes GTR and every other cool car there. I even took a few pics of mustangs because I know a few mustang guys here would like to see them. All the teams were very accommodating except for the big money Cadilac team. Even saw Randy Pobst set his hood on fire, needless to say, it was toast. I'll post up a link to pics when I get a few uploaded.
