It was a little less damage than that, but they got how much the suspension crumbles exactly right.

I'll find some pics here in a bit.

A buddy of mine bought an RX-8 last summer, or was it the one before... in "Cop Attractant Red".

Asked me if I wanted to drive it... I'm not really big on import sports cars, but sure, what the hell.

I didn't fit in it. At all. Best I could do is either recline into the back seat or cock my head over and stick it partially out the sunroof.

Driving sports cars is the one time I'm happy to be 5'7". smile Even the rear seats of the '8 are comfortable for me.

Chris, since I've misplaced my grandmother's stereopticon, could you resize those. I couldn't understand why you were so enthralled with a black bumper. Also, typing out here in the ether is too disquieting.

Boy, you ARE in Maryland, aren't you? That place looks like a location scout's dream for a Pink Flamingos sequel.

How's your music making going?

P.S. I didn't know that you are shorter than I am. That changes everything, Bonaparte. I also did not know that you were a "Wankler."

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Yeah, it is. I have a carbon fiber addiction. Eventually many more of the body panels will be converted.

Not just Maryland, Western Maryland. It's grim out west, even more so than the Baltimore area where Pink Flamingos was shot.

I was just working on some tunes last night. I liked some of the drums that Trent Reznor did on a track for Dragon Tattoo, and I figured I could do better. That's where I usually get hung up on a track also, with the percussion. I have a lot of songs half finished because they have no drums. This new one is only drums so far.

Been a Wankler since 2000! Better than all those boingers out there.

Never had experience with rotary engines before. I understand you must have motor oil on hand to add periodically?

Very cool, Chris! I've always loved the way all the RX generations looked. I might very well have ended up with an RX-8, but it just didn't fit me quite right. Just couldn't get comfortable, and the sunroof was too small. Other than that, love the styling, the engineering - everything.

Hope it brings you lots of joy!
