jackbombay,
When you took that skid, you had me holding my breath. Snow, the other four letter word.......

I was pretty confident that the clip would not have a negative outcome.
Who would post a video of themselves in an accident while showing off?
Not me.

Do you realize that you can just hit "edit" and fix your typos?
I never seem to notice them till it comes back on the big screen. somehow, I can look at that more objectively!

Hell yea, once I'm done street racing I can make fried egg sandwiches for everyone Or maybe some fresh homemade pasta with sauce consisting of diced tomatoes roasted pine nuts and fresh garlic all sautéed in olive oil with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
I always seem to make better food when I'm "camping" than when I'm at home, go figure. |
