I still haven't gotten the smile off my face!

I sold an arcade game to a guy with an Audi R8 and got to drive it... but tonight I go over and fix the monitor and he tosses me the keys to his new Audi R8 Spider convertible - this is the one with the V10 Lamborghini engine. WOW!

HOLY SH*T! 8500 RPM red line and power that just NEVER ends! I punched the gas and before I know it I was WAAAAAAAY over the speed limit. Talk about FUN!

I didn't drive it near as fast as he did and I didn't do it in any traffic - I was too scared of the ticket for the speed I was going. :001_sbiggrin:

sweet ride!!!! i only have a mustang convertible, but if you can burn me 2 of those racing jam nvram chips, i'll let you drive it all day :)
 
You fixed a monitor?

HAH!

I see what you did there. :)

I do need to tease the person I got the chassis from as it was recapped and reworked, but had a couple of bad solder joints on it that was causing it to not always power up. :)

I make a lot of my arcade spending money from fixing those, even though I spent several weeks telling them to check for that before they sent it to me....
 
I was riding to lunch with my boss the other day and he was talking about the power of his new Acura (he was right) and how he used to drag race in high school. Murphy's law, a few minutes later a Lamborghini pulls up behind him. Needless to say I reminded him he wasn't still in high school (we were on an interstate with lots of traffic and COPS). :)

Dear Lord, please let the person that fixed that monitor not be me. I don't need the grief. Nice ride. I have a Ford GT-40 ride coming to me soon. I think that would eat the Audi's lunch.

Dunno about that... this car has the V10 Lamborghini engine in it. :)

I won't say here who did the monitor repair but you can ask me about it the next time we talk.

Robin got me something on my bucket list for my birthday. I asked her if she was trying to tell me something. :D I need to cash it in probably in October when it cools down - 10 laps at TMS in a real NASCAR race car at speeds "up to 150MPH"
