I am sure we have some members here that live in the Woodlands. If not I have a buddy there...he's pretty good with a camera.

Why doesn't somebody hook up with him and snap some pics of his collection?

Chevy says the car can do 198. And there is a vid floating around on the internet of I think Motor trend or Car & Driver hitting that speed or at least getting over 185mph. Next time you do a top speed test make sure you have a GPS so to make sure your Speedo isn’t off. "Edit" Oops i re-read and it said you had a GPS.

It's not that hard to email or Yahoo message me...

As for raining all day - not up here in the Woodlands/Conroe. We were out on the lake for most of the afternoon (11am-3pm) messing with dead batteries and whatnot. Woodlands/Conroe isn't exactly Houston. Weather Channel lied to you.

Who will make up threads if you are gone?

I'm glad to see you are finally comfortable enough with yourself to come out of the closet.
