Divorce sucks, but there IS life afterwards.

I got a day up at Michigan international speedway with a company called 'track time' a few years ago. I got to thrash a fairly underpowered Z3 for a day, but it was still fast enough for it to be incredibly fun for me. I'd take that again for xmas.
Can't think of anything for my bike really. Until i break something, i think im pretty happy with it for the riding around here. It's ski season...so i want as many days as possible on the slopes for xmas. West is out of the question this year, but Vermont should be on the cards. Yep, thats what i want this year.

R33 don't suck.
case in point, the skyline on the right, decked out in HKS apparel
not only are they fast they are ten fold better looking than an R32
remember, ANY car can be lightened

My current rig is actually really good. But I guess its never perfect...
Things reasonable (I need):
Fox Vanilla RL --> Fox Vanilla RLC
Profile Design Stiffy --> Thomson Elite
Volvo Cannondale Team Jersey --> Siemens Cannondale team Jersey and jacket
USPS team jersey --> something 07
Specialized Shoes (ripping apart after 2 seasons) --> no clue...sth that fits good...this is hard to decide on the spot. I tried SIDI and their shape just don't fit me. Otherwise its good
Things just for want (I wish):
Chris King Disc 317 wheelset --> DT 240s with ZTR/Mavic Crossmax SLR
WTB headset --> Chris King Ti headset
XTR cable --> Nokon Cables
RaceFace Turbine Foged --> Shimano XTR crankset
RaceFace Evolve XC BB --> something better
Nokian NBX 2.3 --> lighter tires ans stan
Shimano Dura Ace Chain --> Wipperman Ti chain
Time ATAC Carbon --> Eggbeater 4ti
Avid Juicy 7 --> Magura Marta SL
Shimano XT Complete --> Sram XO Carbon trigger 1:1 Complete

No offense to ******** people intended.

Forgive me please for not getting all sweaty about these little 'tuner' cars. I grew up in the era of Stone, Woods & Cook and the gasser wars, fuel altereds whipsawing guardrail to guardrail, A.C. Cobras and stock cars that were still made out of steel

. It's frustrating sometimes: Mind that feels 25; body that feels 35 (when I'm riding); body that feels 80 when I crash.

I'll take a Nissan frontier or exterra and a stumpjumper. Oh, and while we're at it a tex-mex strat, a carvin stack, reason 3 and some auralex monitors. Oughta throw in a poweramp and mixing desk I guess. How about an MPC sampler and a mapex drumkit. Hmm. Oh, oh, and some roland v-drums. What else....how about a new pair of legs for my grandpa so we can ride together again. Yeah, scratch the rest-I'll just take the legs, please.
