I've been saving this one, but I think the time has come.

This was actually allowed into the PCA Hospitality area at the top of the Esses at WG when I went to the Zippo in September. The "tater-tot" trailer is a camper!

I'm sorry, sir, but that's a WIN in my book. Actually, I'd give them an A for concept/effort and a B for execution.

My fail





The story? Don't really have one. I lost it on an exit ramp and decided to steer it into a tree. I'll just say I was young, dumb, and driving way beyond my limits. Typically the first question I get: "were you drinking?" I wasn't, but I was shortly thereafter.

Lesson learned (albeit painfully).

That's sad... If Mazda had put the engine in the back (where it belongs!), you would have been able to salvage the drive train and move it to a new tub!

Al Gore admitted to Newsweek that he overplayed the role of CO2 as a cause of Global Warming. Somehow I doubt all those that called me a denier for the last 10 years or so will be offering me congratulations.
