Oh, getting into crunch time here... Race #6 of the Chase!!!!!
Anytime and the idiot box just had a shot of heavy snow falling in Denver. On top of that I have discovered a repeated personal behavior - not quite the secret of life but close - when I was a young lad I might have had trouble keeping my pants zipped. Now that I am in my mid-60’s the same behavior is again front and center. Sadly it is for 2 totally different reasons.
Sounds like a great time to make him a very low ball offer since his only access to the property is by air.
Happened to be at the BMW/Audi dealership in Bend yesterday. Snowflake tires for the wife’s X-1, blah, blah, blah. Was looking at a black Audi A-5 convertible - 67K - beautiful car and thought of you. (those things just come in a soft top?) I really like the BMW Z-4’s; twas a toss-up btn one and the 335 this S[ring but got a better deal on the ‘335. . Desires are always for a bigger fish, faster or newer car, bigger house/boat/handgun, etc. Good thing wants and needs are part of the equation along with contentment. Ok, where do I enter the BMW M-6 contest???
I read this article on Todd Parrott and Richard Petty Motorsports. Here is an excerpt and a link; something I didn’t know about RPM.
“The No. 43 car at RPM has never participated in any NASCAR programs affiliated with alcohol, dating back to seven-time champion Richard Petty’s days as a driver. Petty’s mother made the request, since she was against alcohol and banned substance. As a result, the car doesn’t participate in beer-sponsored contingency programs and didn’t run in the exhibition opening race of Daytona Speedweeks when it was sponsored by Budweiser. The No. 43 also does not participate in the Coors Lite pole award program in NASCAR.”

Guilty as charged your honor now throw the bum out!!!
The 5-series Audis are available in hard top coupe and convertable models. They are also available in A-5, S-5 and RS-5 models. The RS-5 has the 4.2L normally asperated V8 tuned to 450 hp. Know what you mean about always something bigger/better. I could trade my wife for something bigger (Roseanne?).
Now that’ll be a thread killer if there ever was one.
Was qualifying rained out today?
No food stamps this weekend :(
Maybe rain at ‘Dega but its in the upper 70’s here. Gonna take a drive after the UCLA Stanford game. Will record the race tomorrow and watch it late. Church and family event planned.

Hope you return to find you won the BMW M6 lottery!
I would be happy to wake up Sunday evening to find I won a Barn Stock 32 Ford Roadster.
Is that a breed of chickens?
Mauna Kea, Kohola Coast, Big Island
Very nice anniversary destination!
Race on soon!
Race on soon!
Are you going to start a new thread ?
RR checking in. I have a one-point lead on slug.
I would share my picks right now but it would be a bald-face lie!
Go DANICA!
BTW, have they announced who will replace Vickers in the Gibbs Nationwide car yet?
Throw me at Bristol and Martinsville as a possible as well. Of course one of them might be a football game! :^)
