Always found that quote kind of silly. If I am dead I don't think I won anything, but a long dirt nap......my wife will sell that stuff off for pennies on the dollar. At least someone will win.....lol.

Default End of times

My wife won’t even do that. When your gone she says, and I quote: “I am giving all that S—- away and if no one wants it - the Salvation Army can come haul it away - they take used cars don’t they?”. I will be gone so it doesn’t matter much to me.

Yes, it is inspirational - makes me smile thinking that could be me! Sometimes I get my own inspiration with a few WOT spurts on the highway in SSV one - just to keep the love alive.

There's a 3 mile stretch here north of Detroit about 20 miles north - a 2 lane black top with a couple hundred feet between north bound and south bound traffic and no connecting paths between north and south - no on or off exits - no guard rails - and with no side traffic and no bridges and with no one around - a quick full boost launch from around 65 MPH until it stops pulling - is extremely inspirational.

At my age, it probably won't be long before I am wearing them now - in the youth of my old age.

LOL.....as my friend used to say, we are born having to wear them and then wear them in old age. If that chute doesn't open you might need one at that time also....
