hal replies: i respect the criticism of my conduct. Actually, with all the rain daily here, and since Charlotte doesn't put sand down anyway, i can assure you that the road didn't even have any
oil drips on it. So in truth, my exaggeration, or deceit about possibly damaging his paint are inaccurate, and not faithful to the "incident." But if you wish to consider my blipping my throttle (at a car that just seconds before stomped his throttle,) when i drew past his window was obnoxious conduct, so be it. My son is very particular about his Boxster, for sure i wouldn't want to cause injury to another's pride and joy.
But i have been thinking about my excessive involment with CC and several other auto forums lately. I have probably about 1300 posts here on CC in the past 3.5 years, and now that i am also reading and occ. posting on the Boxster forum (they get about 500+ posts a day!), i have been thinking that i need to get some life other than photography and my car.
I have an irrestable urge to comment or offer advice when someone on CC has a problem or question, and now it is even worse with my involement on the Porsche forum.
So all i needed was the much appreciated criticism of my over flowery descriptions of my great enjoyement of my SPF, and the many friends it has brought into my life. But my nurse is constantly telling me to quit refreshing CC at the office, and get back to work, and my wife has grown tired of me spending time here at the keyboard instead of with her.
I caused no damage to the Porsche's paint, for sure. But i just deleted all the car forums at my office, and now here at home, i will do the same here momentarily. I think i need a hobby, so i am thinking about getting into the pen making thing, it sounds like something i would like to create.
So all the best to each of you, and if any of you are passing thru the Carolinas, and see a red/white Replica, toss me some pipes, and i will blip one back to you. But now off to a different life, so no need to reply here, i won't know about it anyway.
sorry about my inaccurate description of my encounter last night,
God Bless American and our troops in combat.
adios,
