Man oh man

Dallas here with a mini-update... driving around last night in the flood I had a check-engine light come on in the (normally reliable) GTI... so off to the dealership first thing this morning.

My pleading for a loaner car to take Pam to her radiation today fell on deaf ears. However Gord has come through with wheels for us to borrow today, thanks be to the Gord!

As an aside, where do you think would be a good place to test the 0-60mph, quarter-mile, and top speed of a 260hp Acura CL? ;-)

  2. My favourite location to risk high speeds is old Hwy 59 south of Hwy 44, just to the west of Birds Hill Park. Two lanes, shallow ditches, little traffic. On Google Maps, search "Gonor Station, Manitoba" (no kidding).
