Now we're drifting from the thread drift.

I remember that snow also drifts.

I always forget to remember what I forgot.

Check out this great '89 911 Carrera on eBay:

Did you buy it, Chris?

Here is my dream car:

Unfortunately no, I think I'll have to wait a few years before I can devote the funds to an indulgence like that. Those '80s 911's are like vintage ricks, though - they'll probably be out of my reach by the time I'm ready to do a little shopping!

Nice wheels, Jeff. Are those street legal in Ohio??

Is that a P4? In models, you don't get the impression of how small the car really is - the real thing looks not much bigger than a go-kart! I just read that the original 330 P4's are valued at $10 million.

Those Group 5 and 6 cars from the 60's are my favorites, probably since I was a kid then and that's what I saw in models and toys. And Speed Racer!

That is a 206SP "dino" with a 2 litre V6 with Lucas fuel injection. The P2, P2/3 and P4 all are considerably larger (relatively speaking) than this and have V12 engines.

Sure Chris, you see these prototype racers all the time on the streets of Ohio, just ask Brian Crisman!

Yeah, right!

I would think the RIC hot tubs would come in Sea Green.... with (thread) drift-wood trimming around the lower skirts. Of course checkerboard bindings and sparklie inlays.

Thread-driftwood...that's good!!

For the traditionalist, a RIC hot tub would have to be placed beside a Vox sauna...

As long as it is not shaped like a coffin (narrower at the bottom than at the top) then I'll buy one and get in it

Speaking of dream cars, mine is a 1957 Ferrari 250GT Boano.
