    When NASCAR's Jeff Gordon and F1's Lewis Hamilton had an exhibition car swap, Jeff put the open wheeler off the track.

    To which he coolly replied, "My car will kill this thing in the grass!"

    This was posted by an Fchatter awhile back who was on a group drive "when you are in a car with 600 horsepower and the car in front of you pulls away from you like your standing still you know that is a seriously fast machine!"

    "The difference between men and boys is the expense of their toys."

    And one of my 4 year old son, when the teacher saw the toy Ferrari in his hand and said what a nice car he was bringing:
    "It's not a car, it's a Ferrari!"

    Many years ago, in discussing float level setting problems with my Weber carburetor, my good friend Nelson Petry said "Carburetor is a French word. Unfortunately I took Spanish in high school. But I think "carburetor" means leave it alone."


    Also saw a bumper sticker "Friends don't let friends apex early"

    This is a good quote. I was going to quote it.

    "Ferrari's are Italian super models and Lambo's are Italian Strippers"
    I don't know if it's ever been printed but I've posted this 10 or 30 times.......

    I was in my 328 with my son, we were waiting or the light to turn green.
    4 teenagers were gawking at the car.
    My son said: "Dang, now I know what it feels like to be a tall blonde with big boobs." :D

    I don't remember who told me that, or to whom the credit goes, but I'll never forget it. I think about it all the time when I'm on my bike.
