I Finally Met Someone!

Well, It might have seemed faster in the right seat. I did hit 2nd at about 50 and brought it to about 70, but I would say 0-60 time is below 4.5. I'm taking it to the track next Wednesday to get some baseline times, then my son has some ideas for my checkbook.

James, it was a pleasure meeting you. Hope your flight back was good. Hopefully your business will bring you back this way.

I need to drum up some business in Denver...

Incidentally - my shock at the 70mph at 2nd gear comes from my first car - 1980 Volkswagon Rabbit. First gear probably took me up to 5 mph, 2nd @ 15, 3rd @ 35, and 4th @ 55... about two minutes later (and that was me rocking back and forth)...

Ahhhh.... James me boy....

Thanks for the awesome bomb. I received it yesterday. You must have put a pretty big dent in your stash! You are not only a great guy, you are very generous. They are all beautiful cigars. As I said last week, you didn't have to do that. The time, conversation and company was more than enough. But rest assured that I will enjoy each and every one of them.

You are certainly welcome Mark. It was the least I could do. Yes, I think you will enjoy them all. The Cuaba is very young (March box code). Give it a while to rest and mature. My guess is that it should be pretty good next Summer.

New Vette's 0-60 time is made in first gear.
