Not really... We just know we're going to have to go somewhere after Dru and I finish school, and we don't know where yet. We may come back to the D.C. area, maybe NoVA, maybe MD, so as to be near family again. I think we were both surprised how much we missed having family around. It's especially tough with the kid, too.
We may just move in to the Atlanta 'burbs though. We like GA weather, GA politics are no better or worse than VA politics, and we know people in Atlanta now. Plus Road Atlanta is close, and there's a good autocross schedule that runs from like March or April into Nov. or December! So, we'll see.
Oh, just remembered, I also saw our P5's doppleganger today!
It was Black Mica, no roof rack, stock wheels, no tint, and had the same UGA front plate as ours!!! I was in the MPV, saw the car coming from the other direction and couldn't figure out what Dru was doing out of class already, then I saw some dude driving it, and actually had to take a look in the rear view for some clue that it wasn't actually Dru's car, STOLEN! There was some kind of sticker on the back window that we don't have, and I didn't see a Zoom Zoom back there, but it totally freaked me out at first!

That happened to me too. Saw a blue P5 going the other way. I was like WTF?! How did some1 steal my car! I'm IN IT! This defies the laws of physics! I had to call Steven Hawking to reassure me that it there wasn't any possible way that was my car too. He started saying some stuff about black holes, worm holes (apparently he likes holes) and rips in space time. I fell asleep after that. Then again, it could have just been his answering machine.Foolish said:
Damn, it's WAY too late.................
You're a freak. I see other Black P5's of course, but most of them have a roof rack, or being here in GA, tint, and/or no front plate, but this guy had the same front plate, and it kind of caught me out. Especially since Dru had the P5 today and I knew she was still supposed to be at school!

haha, no, that was after. Here's how I hurt it, and why I will punch my friend in the face. I'm borrowing my friend's engine hoist to swap a JDM GSR motor into a friend's Civic. Part of the hoist was still bolted to the engine in his now scrapped 240sx project. So I go and unbolt this part, no problem. Well, one bolt is in an awkward position so I must use a stupid baby wrench and use my sexy child-like hands to get at it in between the engine and firewall.
As I'm doing this, I'm looking at the motor since it had been put in the car and then he gave up on the project. I start to think, "hmm... it doesn't look like this is bolted down to anything."
*CRICK* That is the noise the engine made as it shifted backwards, pinning my finger against the firewall. I did one of those screams where you open your mouth and yell, but all that comes out is air. Sort of a "UUUUUGHHH" but gasping.
Now my left trigger finger is pinned by a motor against the firewall and I don't know what the **** to do. My brain scrambles and I think about yelling for help, but nothing will come out. So I start grabbing the valve cover and try to rock this b**** enough that I can free my finger, but it weighs a metric s*** ton. Finally I manage to move the motor just enough to slide my crippled finger out, by means of grabbing the valve cover with my right hand, balancing all my weight on the front bumped, and pushing with my knees.
I need my finger for work and video games. I'll take a picture of it when it is purple and giant and cool looking.khaosman said:haha, no, that was after.

That must have been a b**** to type
I hate when stuff like that happens - hope you and your finger recover soon.
