LMAO
that's a load of bullshit and he knows it. Besides, I have lots of experience driving on the left side of the road, on narrow windy roads and I learned on a right hand drive stick. I'd be much better suited to european roads than a kid from NJ.

Have fun fueling that V10 over in europe. Treat the gas pedal like there is an egg strapped to it.

you can put up the $500 in a race against me, I don't like taking money from a 3rd party.

np, i will pay alicia 500 for services rendered, and she will have the 500 to take you up on your wager. her money against yours.

i'll put up 500 to race, not even an hour at the titty bar for me. maybe I will let alicia to drive my car in a race against you. my car and money against your car and money.

Speaking of titty bars, when we stop in miami, I am going about 20 miles north to Hallandale Beach, where the best strip club in the country is. (i've been to vegas, so i have comparisons) I can get us into the VIP section for a private party. You know, since i am there partying every weekend anyway.

Just remember Ed, it's gonna take 30days or so just to get the car over there. Unless we could find one over there? I have Max's cell, if you want I can call him tommorro?

Hmmm, maybe I will call anyway, it has been a while since I have talked to Max anyway.

i was asked to go in the very beginning.... it was insane to go ... there are teams with support vehicles and replacement cars and drivers.... but sure sounds like fun except for the $10K price tag.....
