Not a chance! Even with the large amount of upfront time performing a full Zaino treatment, I've seen a lot more time on the road than in the driveway polishing.

In the two years I had the S2000 I didn't have so much as a single door ding or blemish caused by a careless human. I never take up two spaces (I find that practice inconsiderate), but I do park far away from other cars when possible.

Maybe not for some, but I've always had an appreciation for British humor. Maybe it's because I'm often dry and sarcastic myself.
Even when they are railing on the US I can laugh right along with them. Hell, I'd be jealous if I were them, too. 
I'm kidding, of course.

They're just making good TV. They tend to complain about anything that's not British or Italian. Hell, Clarkson actually bought with his own money a GT... twice!

Can you get TVRs in America? I didn't think they came anywhere close to meeting emission levels?
You'd have to be a lunatic to drive one anyway. No ABS, traction control, or anything of that nature.

With Lisa gone, I thought I'd take the car out for a nice Friday night cruise and pick up chickz (just kidding about the picking up chicks part, Lisa! )
After my workout I threw on my favorite jeans and my dressiest "wife-beater" shirt and was all set to head out into the pre-dusk evening for a relaxing drive. I thought I'd take my camera and get some pictures of the car by a lake or something.
I should have checked the weather to the Southeast first. 
Sorry, some of these are kinda blurry.
1: About to leave.
2: Relaxed in garage.
3: Flexed in garage, but "relaxed" pose.
4: Yep, still not in the car. 
5: After all that, rain delay. Back inside to watch a movie and post on teh Interwebs.

We had a '73 2500m TVR when I was a little - in the 70's
It looked like this http://www.projo.com/classiccars/sli...1124892814.jpg
I have only ever seen 2 others - one was also a early 70's model and the other was a mid 80's

Actually, me too (I keep seeing all the areas I'm not satisfied with when I look at them).

Thanks. I do work hard keeping up with the yard. It's not my favorite thing to do, and I'm not a "natural" when it comes to gardening, but I try to make up for my lack of a "green thumb" with perseverance.

I do, but I'm glad that I at least have a garage now. So many of my neighbors have their garages full of junk and they have to park their cars in the driveway. I could never do that because before I bought this house I lived in apartments, a rental house, and at my mom's house when I was a kid: none of those places had room in the garage for my cars (and the apartments, of course, had no garage at all). Needless to say I didn't bother washing my cars much back then, except my Firebird. Detailing my old Firebird rarely made it rain, but it always seemed to break down as soon as it was freshly cleaned.
I <3 my garage.

John,
Great update today on biceps. Until I started following those steps a couple years ago I was myphed as to why my progress was so minimal. Gotta remember to put the ego aside certainly, and it is amazing how much more productive my reps feel with lighter weight and stricter form.
Hope you were able to enjoy the new ride this weekend!

John, you are direct violation of the rules.
According to Skip's Stages of Shirtlessness, you are obviously at Stage Three, which requires the proper attire to drive an automobile. http://www.skippypodar.net/Fitness/noshirt.html

Plus, you wouldn't want to sweat on the fine Mercedes leather.

John, your bicep post the other day really helped me out with my arms/delts workout today. I cranked out some really nice sets for biceps and I owe it a lot to the mind/muscle connection. I really tried to apply that to my delt exercises too and I found that I really cooked 'em pretty good. I find sometimes people try too hard on delt exercises too and ultimately don't get the results that they want.
Just curious, how did you change up your bicep routine? Are you still supersetting bi's/tri's or did you just change up exercises?
