    I can get about 780 miles on a tank in my truck...I could get to Vegas, lose my roll of quarters in the slot machines, get back to LA to get you an extension cord and probably run out of diesel about the same spot your battery died...I should probably bring sandwiches too while we wait for Tom to pick us up in his Vette...

    Wait, his is a two-seater, and I'm not sitting in anybody's lap......Ben

    An “average” Ferrari goes for about $250k new. When watching PGA golf tournaments, I gauge winnings in numbers of those Ferrari’s. For instance, when a guy blows a putt, it can often be measured in numbers or fractions of Ferrari’s. Guy misses a winning putt that costs him $500,000 bucks difference. It is easier to digest as a 2 Ferrari missed putt. Often a miss dropping a guy from, say, 4th place to 5th is a one Ferrari miss.

    Just when I was thinking about dropping one in my 94 Ford. I'd have missed the 190 HP diesel though so just a well.
    This is your mind on drugs!

    I know what you mean...If I had both, I'd probably still rather drive the diesel......Ben

    You guys probably already saw this, but every hemi thread should have a hat tip to these guys.

    I've landed many times at this airport. Interesting approach from IFR altitude.

    At 650' i think they might have beat the Wright Bros. I seem to recall it was a rental car also. Old guys rock.

    I have it on good authority that old guys are susceptible to brain farts at the wrong time.
