My car felt stable, but there was a lot more wind noise than usual. I also wasn't having to move through traffic the way you were... | ||

That's what happened to me last night. I was a little unsure of what was going on, I had Norwoods mess w/ the suspension last week and check it all out. I'd never had it happen before. | ||

Jim, I've noticed this in the past with the 328, but I haven't found anyone else that experienced the same thing. My 328 is very nervous and unstable under certain wind conditions. I'm not sure if it's cross wind, but probably. At over 2.5 years ownership I've only had it happen 3-5 times, but it was really bad. | ||

Tillman and Ron, was the wind playing havoc with your car last night? Mine felt like it was getting blown all over the road. | ||

I too was wondering how all that finally turned out. We watched you tussel with that Civic that last time, and thought that somebody was going to be buying some fresh white paint. The kid will hopefully learn a lesson, slow down and respect your elders. <grin> | ||

I was wondering if you were OK. That ricer was driving stupid, then after your incident came flying up past us. We're still rolling 95ish in the HOV (to LEOs -- all speeds are fictional, go eat your donut) and he tries to weave through traffic. Fortunately he got blocked out by traffic, fell behind, and I didn't see him again. I wasn't even trying to race him, just cruising home... | ||

I broke a commandment! #5, Thou shalt not race rice. I was toying with Tillman as he scoffed at me from the HOV lane. Even though he was cruising at 90 on open road, I'd managed to catch/keep up with him. After a particularly nasty bit of weaving, I was again even with him, smiling and waving. And what to my wondering eyes did appear, but some punk kid in a Civic coming up on my ass about at 110. I braked, let him by. He was now in front of both of us. I was in the left lane, Tillman in the HOV. I waved my goodbyes then was going to cross 2 lanes to hit my exit. No sooner did I accelerate into the middle lane, than rice boy was again behind me and on the gas. Problem was, he hit the right lane way before me, right on my ass. He overreacted tremendously when I braked hard. He obviously had intended for me to be in front of him, but no way with him that close. I nearly missed my exit because of the little bastard. The observer perspective can be heard from Tillman and Jason. | ||

Change of plans. TBC was booked so we went to Speed Zone. Dragsters, Slick Trax, Grand Prix and one other track. Was really fun. No pics other than from TBC.  | ||

JimE...when I left the Auto Show I was about 2 minutes from your house on the other side of the golf course accross Lookout off of Ridgeview. Some friends of ours just bought a house over there. We had some drinks at Fox and Hound. | ||
