Oops, no this one isn't supercharged.  But this makes as much power through its high compression setup.

It is drivable, but they are still working on some cosmetic stuff.  I am told I'll have it before Christmas.  But, I've heard that before.

>supercharged
Better.  High-compression custom 1800cc VTEC, revs to 10,000rpm.  I'll post some videos when it's done, the sound is outstanding.  Dynoed 240hp at the wheels!  5x the original power.  Actually might have to dial that backward, as the car only weighs 1500lbs.

I'd love to own a Confederate P120 Black Flag someday.


Currently waiting the return of this:

Whew, she ain't cheap!  But it looks like I could build Travelocity2 in there.  Easy to learn also?

I am looking at Hot Gloo and Pencil Project..

Ah heck, here's a good list with some iPhone solutions:

Major credit to the kid who strapped into a real car and flew around Road Atlanta.  The consequences of blowing a turn at 100mph+ produce some pucker factor in me.  RC, you live near the newly-crowned U.S.A./Canada iRacing champion.  Jason (17) lives in Chesapeake, and is headed to Europe for the World Finals.  Super nice guy, and unlike the subject of Top Gear's story, superfast on the real racetrack.

Free tethering for one.

Lower overall taxes, no income tax, and I hear good things about Austin girls.  I may need to pay a visit.

Consider that GSM-based services (AT&T, T-Mobile) allow for simultaneous voice and data transfer.  CDMA (Verizon, Sprint) does not.  So if it is important for you to surf the web or use apps while calling someone, go for AT&T or T-Mobile.

I have dumb-phone experience with T-Mobile, which was great.  AT&T is pretty good these days, with only an occasional dropped call. But it does happen.

Hahah!  Finally a Southern version.

I recommend pushups to failure and some stretching.  Usually does the trick for me.

>Travoli witnessed the whole thing at Irvine
Hah! Irvine was great.  Still can't believe my boss approved a corporate-sponsored trip to "Pubcon" in California.  Then again, he resigned shortly thereafter to work for the yellowpages.  Heh!

I'm most enjoying the specific posts: the reviews of content providers, cheap labor, software, etc... because I am just getting back online.  I also enjoy shooting the breeze about future-oriented macro issues.

Shop?  On occasion.  Purchase?  Only a song or two from iTunes.  Never retail.  I always wait until I get home to the desktop.

Yeah there has to be some natural incentive to make the extra effort of visiting their YP site.  Deals was the only thing that came to mind.
