If it's decent enough for tropical tidbits to include it in analysis it's good enough for me as one source of info.

Meantime... prayers for residents of Jamaica.. looks like its going to be rough.

I can't imagine.

Did your mom leave you in car to run in to store growing up?

All the time.... and when visiting friends...

Let me tell you a true story; I'm about 8 yrs old at the time, sister two years younger.

Sister and I were left in the car, back seat, while mother dropped in to visit a friend.

Car begins to move forwards downhill, gathering speed towards an intersection.

I jumped into the drivers seat and began hitting every pedal I could.
Eventually found the brake and brought us to a stop.

Fun times! :pimp: :cool:

I really can't remember her face when she found us down the street.

Its a decade old.

Not quite.. actually 12 years old and drives like a dream.. just turned 40k miles.

Sure, the infotainment is waaay past its "sell by" date and it may have a few minor dings here and there (only if you look real close).... but amazingly everything works, its just a damn nice place to be... and the V8 purrs and growls all at the same time.

It's a damn shame that Jaaaag has become what it has, same can be said of Lotus, MG, TVR and others.

Very cool!

You described an awesome day very well.

Taking a car to its limits on the track is epic.

I had a track day gifted to me... Lambo Huracan at Speed Vegas...
One of the top 5 days of my life.

Thanks for sharing :cheers:

Interested in how TCAS (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems) interact between commercial and military vehicles.

Certainly the regional jet has TCAS and should have received warnings, but only if the mil helicopter was also TCAS equipped and transmitting.

Nearly 28 foot waves reported from buoy in the gulf....
