http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/O/OH_OHIO_TRAFFIC_LAWS_OHOL-?SITE=WCMHTV&SECTION=US&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT Some new laws kick in today for us so I thought I'd put this out there. 1:Trucks can now do 65mph on interstates outside cities. I like this one, it's proven no more dangerous, more productive and the trucks were mostly going this fast anyway. 2:Lights and wipers on in the rain. This is obviously for safety but I don't like it as I say when lights and wipers are neccessary and though I havn't seen the wording on it it seems to leave a grey area determining what is "rain" and maybe a "sprinkle". 3:Move over for tow trucks. I like it, nothing wrong with moving over and leaving these guys alone to do their job. Think of it this way, do you want to be the one who has the driver thats come to help you out get hit by another car?? Discuss.

I havn't been on the Beast at night, I'll have to do that sometime. I've ridden Millenium Force at night and while it's fun, being pelted in the face with bugs at 90mph sucks!! Kevin, how long was the wait for Diamondback? I was really surprised at how we never had to wait more than 20 mins for it.

Cedar Point owns it now, all the vending machines and other places are labelled "Cedar Fair" and all the Paramount themed named rides were renamed, Top Gun is now the "Flight Deck". Cedar Point is by far a better park imo, lots more rides and much bigger and better coasters which is what I go for but with Kings Island owning them they should start to get better stuff(DiamondBack is a big step in this direction). Speaking of women, we overheard a woman on Vortex say the last time she rode it she threw up, luckily she was behind us as she did it again!!!

Celebrities dropping like flies lately......

^What the fuck did you just say Paul??? LOL!! The nice thing about yesterday was the lack of crowds, the longest line was just under an hour for Firehawk. Diamondback was a 30 min wait max. Most rides like Vortex and Beast were about 5 mins or less!!

I went to Kings Island today after having not been there for years, mostly because of Cedar Point having far more and better coasters but today was free so I couldn't complain. Diamondback is their newest coaster and I was honestly impressed, decent height around 200ft tall, steep drops and very smooth ride. The biggest thing is the hang time, lots of good time being pulled out of your seat which is my favorite thing on a coaster and the lack of shoulder bars and the stadium seat layout make for a good experience. Also Firehawk, the laydown coaster which was a new type for me. Not fast but flying around like that is tons of fun. Anyone been up this year and ride Diamondback?? What'dya think??

LMAO!!!

It says I have to sign up to see the video.....wtf??

^Well yeah, what the hell do they know about Fords??

How many miles are on the car? Federal Law says the emissions system must be warrantied for 8 years or 80k I believe so it would have to be fixed. I bought my Mustang from them and I was treated very well and had a couple minor issues.

No tilt steerring??

"Revenge is a dish best served cold"

I've seen 2 in person now, honestly not as big of a car as it looks in pics but very good looking in person. Sounds like yet another car I won't really fit in if your skinny short ass is touching the roof AJ!!

$1900 seems a bit high with a fucked up clutch and they're a bit of a bitch to do on an AWD. You can find good ones for the same cost or cheaper. Most people that talk about these cars know little about them, all 3 of mine were very reliable and all of them are that way when you don't treat them like shit like most of them have been. Stick to the pre-93 cars to stay away from the 7 bolt motors, they just don't hold up in the long run like the 6 bolts though for daily use they'd be fine really.

Good seeing you there Rusty!! I couldn't have done both days, I was too burnt from saturday!!

I saw a new one yesterday, it's a huge car and has an automatic......

Time to trade yours in Anthony!!

We can't see them unless you post em!!

What an absolute blast today, especially thanks to Pirelli. If anyone has ever had to deal with them they are great people and really take care of their customers current and future. I had a full access Hot Pass with good parking, access to almost everything, and the meals for free which turned out to be a highlight as I had lunch with Scott Pruett!! He is a really nice guy(I had my doubts at first thinking he could be cocky like some drivers can be) and welcomed us to his table and had a short conversation with him. Some great driving during all the races today, watching the Mustangs coming out of the esses into Thunder Valley was fun as everyone went over the hill sideways somewhat. One of them managed to drive his car back even with the right front wheel locked completely sideways from what looked like a broken tie rod. The Rolex drivers are amazing, seeing them in person is much different than on t.v. seeing the true effort they put in and how hard they push those cars. If anyone has never been to this race in person you must do it!!

No autocross, free trip to Rolex race over an autocross!! I may actually not make another autocross for a while. Andy, nothing wrong with being at home for it as you in some ways get to see more of the action though I'll get both as I have the DVR set to record!!

Get a cap on it and you'll pass for a grandpa....lol. Sounds like a nice truck, looking forward to seeing it.

If that truck can do what they say and be reliable it will sell well.

Now they need to put that thing in the street model!!

Nice, that was some crazy rain this morning. I remember waking uo and hearing the thinder a good 1/2 hour before any rain got near my place.

I will be there all day courtesy of Pirelli. Can't help on getting you in though. I think it's something like $45 for the full on pit pass. PM me if you'd want to pool up there or something, I'm always looking to save a couple bucks myself.
