Navy vet gets ass beaten for...
That's basically what I got once when my car got broken into: "Well, these guys are coming in from Santa Ana, so unfortunately, there's not a whole lot we can do about it right now. But we'll keep a lookout for them." translation: "you're not a rich guy who can afford to hire a lawyer to ride our asses so we're not going to do jack $h!." I'd love to see how they handle a terrorist attack. "Well, these guys are coming in from Jalalabad, so..." I mean c'mon, not a whole lot you can do? What good are you? why do we even have a police force? oh here's why: "Well, we thought it was pretty suspicious that you were driving through a neighborhood alone at night" "It's MY neighborhood. I was going home!" "Bull$h!, I've been working this neighborhood for years, and I've never seen you before. step out of the car, boy."

Putting our money where our mouth is part 2
I am thinking the same thing...thinking or trading in my 2002 Mazda Miata, I am 6-11 and fit well, but would like a little larger car....and I am thinking v6 Camaro actually.... HOLY HELL, 6'11"?! how do you fit in that thing? I had to do the gangsta recline to fit in an NC with the hard top up, and that put a strain on my arms. Well, I suppose if you can make it work, there's hope for me and a BRZ after all.

Putting our money where our mouth is part 2
As I've said before, I'm very interested in the Subaru BRZ. Honestly, I think I'm going to start saving for one. There's just one thing that gives me pause: I'm 6'3". The BRZ isn't much bigger than a Miata. I don't fit well in a Miata; the bottom edge of the windshield header is right in my line of vision in my normal seating position. However, the seats in the BRZ are supposed to be mounted rather low, so there's still a chance I could fit. I still need to see it in person and sit in it to make a final decision. If indeed I won't fit inside, it would be a great disappointment. However for that same money they're saying the Subie will start at, I could also get a V6 Mustang or Camaro--both of which I know I can fit in.

Music to break speed limits by
there were a few good ones to come out of the eighties and late seventies though. Turbo Lover by Judas Priest, Radar Love by the Golden Earring, and of course any early Metallica.

Music to break speed limits by
The Ramones prided themselves on minimalism; everything they did (or didn't do) was on purpose. There's a certain atitude you gotta have to get into 'em. you just gotta feel like kickin sh** and not apologizing for it. (but don't listen to anything they did during their Phil Spector period. THAT truly sucked.) but yeah, different strokes...

Something more...
another thing: I never considered myself the philisophical type, but apparently I am, probably moreso now with age, experience, hardships, et al.

Something more...
Actually it's probably a better way to look at it. I sometimes find myself envious of how "sucessful" people I knew back in high school are now. Lawyers, doctors, businessmen, one's even trying to run for district judge in the county he lives in (different state, i think, but not sure where), and he's only 30. I didn't even know you could run for judgeship at 30! I thought i could at least be looking at a design school by now, but financial contraints forced me to drop out of college after my sophomore year, and now I've been everything from a bank teller, to a starving artist* to a depressed drunk to a bartender and anything in between--except what i was aiming for. But then I remember that everything happens for a reason, and maybe it's just life's way of making you stronger. You can meet your challenges and overcome them--and one at a time works better than all at once, believe me--all it takes is tenacity. Also remember that the social definition of sucess isn't the same as LIFE's definition of success. I was once told by one of my bosses--one of the rare ones that actually give a damn about you-- that "it's better to shoot for the stars and miss by a mile, than aim for a bucket of crap an hit it square on." *which reminds me; the next Reaganite douche that tells me that "starving artists deserve to starve" needs a boot up his arse. Starving isn't a choice; it's one of the aforementioned challenges life throws at you. Most of the time those that starve don't necessarily deserve it. had to laugh at this one. probably because it's true. who said this one?

Subaru News: Subaru BRZ finally bares all
higher spec version (possibly branded as an STi) is all but guaranteed, I hear; though not before the new Impreza-based WRX/STi is introduced. Not sure if they'll put in the WRX STi's engine in though.

Honda News: Coming To Detroit: Honda NSX Successor Concept
consider that the latter US-market NSX was watered down from not only its then-current Japanese version, but its previous iteration (the NA1 is largely considered better than the NA2 as far as the Acura variants go). Also consider that Acura's lineup--rather all of Honda's lineups--are utterly boring. They desperately need a car like this to put some soul back into their lineup. I always liked the NSX. Just don't screw this up, Honda (they probably will).
