diagnostic sweep....

[justason]

So heres a fun gag.......My wife bought herself a new mustang, been wanting one since she was 13. I took it out the other day for the first time, and sent her this image from the road.........It took her about a week before she figured out it was the diag sweep the dashboard does prior to ignition.......

Oh that's damn funny...

That's great! I had a '99 Mustang GT before I got married and had kids. The fastest I got it to before chickening out was 120mph. But even at that speed there was still plenty of pedel left, and if memory serves me correctly I was still only in 4th gear (but that has been a long time ago so don't hold me to that part of the story). I always wanted to find a flat spot to try and go faster, but around here there are so many hills and I always got scared there would be a cop coming up the other side of the hill.

That's awesome. I did go around 150 mph in my Vette a few weeks ago.

Where you on a track? Or just get really ballsy on the express way?

Out on a deserted highway in Arizona.

Wow Dan, you have some guts there!

I had to stretch her legs a bit, she was tired of doing the speed limit.

Nice looking little commuter car you have there Dan!

150 is nuckin futs !! I did the richard petty track day at Lowes speedway last year. they give you the keys to a NASCAR and you follow a driver around the track for 8 laps......I always thought the rattle of my diesel was music...these machines sound incredible.

my top speed was 135......and some of that was 6" off the wall....these cars drive themselves I swear.....top speed that day was 148 I think...

150 i!!!!! that would have vaporized a rabbit trying to cross

They grow up quick, so do tell what are the plans?

Let's just say it involves a condo and a sailboat down in the Sea of Cortez......Of course we will be bringing the Jetboat with us too! =) Can't get enough of the 85 degree water in October and the group of friends we have down there...... =)

Very cool, are you still flying for a living?

Schedules got really bad a while back, and my absence was reflected in my boys behavior. I chose to take a leave until the QOL issues get settled out at the airline..... I coach football and am creating my own super-secret gig right now!

Cool, I was thinking about you as we are flying Hawaiian Airlines in a few weeks to Hawaii, have not been on a bird in about 5 years, hate the TSA crap.

Very nice! Took my son to Kauai last summer for 16 days.... We mostly camped on the beach but surfed and hit waterfalls every day! Lead F/A gave us a row so we could sleep! I don't think the TSA Tango is as bad as it used to be, they are always very professional to us, in uniform or not......

Congrats again on the trip to Hawaii! Which Islands?
