Default [pics from today] A typical winter day...

here in South Florida :D :D.. Here are some pics of my day...
In a few minutes - I'm heading towards a cruise night... :D :D
On the way to the beach... I saw this Ricer...


Then I parked at the beach parking lot...

and went to the beach...

Then I had some food at HOOTERS at the Beach Pace... Check out the view from this Hooters :D :D

on the way back to my car - a Lamborghini Dablo and this Viper passed.. I couldn't turn on the camera fast enough for the Diable.. but I caught the Viper...

On the way home... another "TYPE R" Ricer :rolleyes:


So - what did you guys do today?? :seeya :seeya

:cheers:

Right now it's 1 degree & it went up to 4 today :cry . I have to replace the wiper motor in my daily driver that died & we got over 3 feet of snow in the past couple of days. Just like a southern Florida winter :p: , how I wish :sad: !

Hooters BeachPlace :smash: !!! Babealicious...I'm more of an "Elbo Room" kinda guy, but you just can't beat Beach Place for primo bikini-watching.

P.S. - Saw TWO Diablo's parked in VIP parking @ DeLux last night...can you imagine spending the bux for something like that and having another show up at the same place/time?:cry

Ricer Guy: Hey baby...wanna go for a ride? I just got a new wing...
Ricer Chick: Well...err...I'm sorry Fernando. Your wing just isn't big enough. I'm going for a ride with Hector...he has the BIGGEST wing in all of Miami!

Olivier - Did you abuse this guy??? I would have pulled up next to him and laughed (while pointing) until beer foamed out of my nose. Then, I would've manuevered in front of him, set the line-loc and smoked him like a salmon.

Best regards,

No doubt, I'm jealous, big time!!!

But, I'm making the best of it. I've been out in my heated garage all day working on my 34 Ford (Replica) and putting the finishing touches on it to go in for paint the first week of March.

These cold winter days have at least given me the opportunity to finish this thing. I've been working on it for 2 1/2 years!

You do love to rub it in ;) . Here is my salt-mobile from a few minutes ago. It is -20F. I can't wash the Impala; it would not open up again until a thaw. But only two months until I see my Corvette again :) .



Any hints here why not to buy a C3 from the northern zones?

So - what did you guys do today??

Oh, just the usual 125MPH mountain run. :blueangel: :yesnod:

When I came home, I found that I'd burned up 25 bux worth of Premium in a matter of about two hours. But it was a thrill to get the car out and run the snot out of it! :D It never ran better!! :cheers: :cool: :party:

LOL, I saw a silver eclipse with a big butt purse handle wing not 30 minutes ago also! LOL.

To answer you question, I worked on the Z most of the day, then went for a cruise in the Pace Car :yesnod:

I like the Elbo Room.. However - they don't serve Pitchers... and it can get expensive... (even though it's by far not as expensive as in South Beach)... Was one of the 2 Diablos yellow??? I saw the yellow one.. but it was gone before I could take a pic...

Well - I didn't abuse him.. I actually waved him in (he tried to merge in)... I don't abuse "Ricers".. I feel sorry for them... The last time that I raced a "Ricer" at the track... his 1/8 mile ET was 12.60 and my 1/4 mile ET was 12.19...:lol: :lol:

Being a "Ricer" is like running around with a shirt that says "I have a 10 inch d!ck".. but in reality he only has 3 inches .... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D :D
