Hyde Park's lobster bisque gets an A.

Two-hundred pennies does not equal $200. Mathematics just bitch slapped you.

I'll be running around that same amount of boost.

This thread delivers.

Sweet revenge will be mine, Putty.

Looks great.

You're preaching to the choir, my friend.

TT would definitely be the hotness. However, IMO, going with a better H/C set-up, while not as hot as going TT, would be much less of a hassle.

Heads/cam FTW.

Oh how the Dark Side continues to grow. LSX's rule the universe. Bow down, bitches!

Gorgeous.

Spice/Sugar - anytime you want. :leghump:

Nope, the checks have already been destroyed. Besides, we both know the spirit of that $100 "deposit" wasn't meant to cover things like accidents. No, it was to be a stand-up race; since we can't have that race, then it just makes sense to call it even and start over.

LOL - $3500 would be like 70 times more than what he paid for his last project car. JP, for your next car, I'm thinking of these numbers and letters: RX7 FD LS1 GT42R FTW. Hmm?

Yup, that's him. Sucks to hear about his car. Agreed with all comments thus far - his car was very nice and very quick, and it's good that he wasn't hurt.

Hearing about all this racing makes me want to hang myself. I am so incredibly envious. for me.

Yeah, who knows, maybe Colt will get another project together soon and we can begin the e-battling anew. That, or still plan a get-together with the guys up north and still have something of a D-Day. I'm sure they'd bring down plenty of race-worthy cars. Yet, it won't be the same without that Colt. Clark, progress is being made. I'm hoping it won't be too much longer now.

Now with the Colt's demise, our race will never happen. That's unfortunate, since it was sure to be a good race, and so much e-battling history had went into it. For a little trip down memory lane, here's the thread where it really got started: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19726&page=6&pp=25 It's a long ass thread, which was originally started by Da Troof to flame Thorne. Around page five, Coltboostin and I get into it. A few pages of quality flaming follow, which then culiminated into the "call out" by Jamie: To that, here was my response: Some have asked about the $100 "deposit" and whether that now goes to me. No. The plan is to simply rip up the checks. I think that is the fair thing to do, considering the circumstances. So, "D-Day" won't happen, at least not for a while. Given all that's went into it, I thought it befitting to start a thread - in The Kitchen no less - to honor the memory of the Colt and the race that never happened.

Details!

To get to where they've directed you from Delaware, I would come down (i.e., go south) on 23 to 270. Then, go 270 West - toward Dayton. Take 270 W to the Sawmill Road exit. Then you'd veer off to the right from the exit - which would put you going north on Sawmill. Then, I guess, you go three stoplights and look for it just past the CVS. I'm not sure about the exact location because I've not been there yet. Someone who has been there, check my directions to make sure they are accurate and help this guy get there next time. He's being cool about it and wants to participate - so some one help him out.

How do you know that there was a car chase? What kind of car was it that was pulled over?

Agreed; a true Internet masterpiece. Favorite part happens at 1:50 into the vid and involves the completely random appearance of the Jawa-esque creature bobbing past as Hasselhoff does the faux stunting on his motorcycle.

JP, terrible news about the car, great news that you're alive. RIP Colt. RIP II D-Day, the day that never happened.

Hey, wait a second, I thought my comment was still in line with the spirit of this thread. Sorry, it certainly wasn't my intent to derail it. Besides, I'd think you'd prefer me doing what I did instead of taking you to task for vascillating intra-post on your stance on alcoholism (e.g., implying that alcoholism is beyond a person's control, yet asserting that a person can control it). Okay, I can buy that. My impression is that you - DJ - subscribe to a diathesis-stress model of alcoholism. In that model, both genetic and environment influences interact in a dynamic fashion to result in the manifestation of the pathology. So, while a person may have a "gene" for alcoholism, that gene really cannot be expressed in the phenotype unless, of course, the person drinks alcohol. Similarly, you could have a "gene" for obesity, but you'll never get fat unless you eat enough food. The diathesis-stress model is a bit more inclusive and allows for more flexibility in determining etiology as opposed to the more dualistic (and inflexibile) genetics versus environment (i.e., "nature versus nurture") application.

Hidden within this debate is another debate: determinism versus free will. DJ has seemingly propped himself deftly on the fence by declaring that he overrides his fate with free will. Neat.
