Jon,
Great Politically Correct Merry Christmas post but you can actually say it on here. Kristen doesn't have her decoder ring yet and can't chastize you for it. 
Really nice weather here the past few days. Oh, how I wish my carb would get back. I really would like to go driving while we have weather like this.
Mike,
I believe that when Kristen gets her decoder ring, as a moderator she gets 100 bonus points addded to her post count. Better really get busy posting.

Fellow Ignorian's,
I've been pretty busy as of late, but now I'm back with an important update.
Yes-CARS MADE OUT OF CHEESE!
The automobile is in for a cheesy future
Saturday, September 6, 2003 Posted: 11:57 AM EDT (1557 GMT)
Cleveland, Ohio (AP) -- The US Department of Energy and US Department of Transportation have teamed up with the Center for Cheese Engineering Research & Development (CCEDR) to help improve automobiles using advanced cheese technology.
Recent advances in cheese materials have led the DOT and DOE to take interest in using cheese to build automobiles. A new collaboration with CCEDR plans to investigate implementing cheese into automobile design and manufacturing. New automobiles made with cheese parts would be environmentally friendly, fuel efficient and quite tasty.
So far the major automobile manufacturers have not yet latched on to the idea of making cars out of cheese. Ford Motor Company press secretary Thomas Haskel remarked, "I don't know our official stance on cheese cars, but it just seems impractical to me. I mean, would you want to grate up a car engine and put it on your spaghetti?"
Ramachandran Subbaraman, a lead researcher at the CCEDR, points out that most recent advances in cheese material technology are not well know to the public. He states, "If you can make it out of plastic, not only can we make it out of cheese, we can make it better."
Brian Kienitz, Director of the CCEDR has a clear vision for the automobiles of the future. "I can foresee a future were cars are made up entirely of cheese. The car will ride on cheese wheels and run off a cheese fuel cell. Even the seats could be made of specially designed molded cheese polymers. With the continued support of the DOT and DOE, we at CCEDR believe we can have a complete operating car entirely made of cheese ready for production in under 10 years . Although some modifications may have to be made for the lactose intolerant."

McCobra,
Well at least the rats of New York and other large cities will be happy and the best fed on the planet.  Imagine, you park your car and come back in 15 minutes and 100 rats are happily eating away at it. But it will sure cut into the car thieves business.

Ron,
I dunno about cutting back on theft.
I think the guys in the chop shops would just be cutting a lot more cheese.

Tight on my tail, young Mike!!
ahhh. glorious day in the Cobra. Pleasant 62*, (when I left) no breeze. Zoomed around the big loop I635, then up I35.....
Coming home was a bit different... cooler, windier, and the traffic was a drag! Came to a complete stop 3 times, on this huge Interstate.... Didn't take a jacket at all, but was quite nice all in all. Beautiful day for a drive.... The SCAT event was fun, and I got a uh, great gift at White Elephant... Never know how those things will be received.... I of course took a great WE gift, but evidently the recipient didn't appreciate it's, it's value. yeah, that's it, value. 2 brand new Johnny Lightning cars. Just happen to be an old Corvette, and an old GTO! haha. Funny, I thought so anyway. also took 2 Cobra hot wheels, (ok, not the better ones) and last but not least, a great pic of me at Motorsport Ranch!! I mean, really, what more could they want???
off to a holiday party! See ya!!

Krisen, i thought the fun part of big block Cobra ownership was listening to the idle of the cam while people stare with jaws hanging from their mouth, not believing their luck.
I really, REALLY, REALLY need one of these cars

Moderator! Moderator! This is a thread about nothing and these folks are busy talking about....... the weather!
So anyway, I have finally discovered "South Park". The neat thing? I can watch all of the reruns and they all will be new to me!

Mike,
Take the 1/24th scale Cobra to Hollywood and have them work the same stuff they did on the submarine in the movie Incredible Voyage, but in reverse and then you will have a full sized ready to rumble Cobra.
As for post count, Kristen is still waiting for her ring and the bonus 100 points to the count. 
Kristen,
May I borrow your Carb while our weather is so nice. It has been perfect for driving the past few days and I can't. This is worse than Mike. He doesn't have a Cobra and I have one but not one minor insignificant part.

Mike,
Actually I am always up by 3:30 AM at the latest. Have to get my posts in before the load hits and the club site slows to a crawl. I guess my early up is a carry over from working as I always enjoy the early mornings before the rest of the world wakes up and the light gets here so you can see just how thinks really look. Love looking at the city lights from the top of the mountain. Nothing like it looks once daylight arrives.

I'm back......
good morning, gentlemen.
Aren't we up bright and early this morning??
Mike, yes I SEE you've got more postings. Where have you been all over CC? Not just here on this very important thread....
Ron, dear Ron, I'm happy for you to borrow my carb. Problem is I don't know where it is!
I need to get a little book telling me where all these things are....
Hey, Mike, just saw your newest post... you aren't allowed to make just one sentence your whole post!
Inflates your count illegally.
Moderator warning: STOP FRIVOLOUS POSTING!
have a great day! Gotta get kids up for church, life...
Kristen
