    Took the NSX out for a drive today. In a remote area, I engaged in a little "spirited" driving. Not exactly rubber burning, rev-limiter bumping, skyrocketing insurance rate driving... but just a few quick blips to let me know I'm alive. As childish as it may sound to some, it still remains one of my simple pleasures.

    During today's drive, I had a fleeting thought of adding a turbo. Honestly, there's not enough testosterone remaining in my body to do that, but I received a link to a video of someone who added not one, but two of these little spinning marvels of compression. If you're a car guy, specifically... if you have an affinity for the Ford GT-40, then sit down, shut up and hold on...!

    YF is for sale. Asking price: one twin-turbo GT-40. Plus insurance for one year. :D

    Why do I think that some insurance agent is tracking down that car right now.
    Sometimes discretion is the better part...
