    Point taken...
    My point.... was that I responded to Geoff..he is always a gentleman....and thats why I posted in the first place...
    Then you had to make a snyde comment about Bruce..
    This was Geoff's thread I was just trying to help him...It had nothing to do with Bruce.
    The point here is Chris..It seems you have a lot of pent up anger and if Bruce can let it go...why cant you?

    Geoff,
    Again I apologize.

    I'm just going to get the thread back on the topic zen. hehe
    I'm glad you got your car back. Can't wait to ride with you!
    You don't think it will happen again do you?

    Does this sort of thing happen every single time? (the hijacking thing)

    No anger at all. Honestly to me the whole thing was just funny. I just like to keep the crowd entertained, that's all. Whoever takes internet seriously, need help.

    As for bruce can let it go, you say it as if he is the victim and he is the bigger person to forgive :D

    Hey Enzo, Get off your high horse. I don't remember a post being written about you. How would you react. If you read the post, most people love chris. I would be mad if someone made a post about me. Obviously things worked out. Leave it alone

    It seems that the only people that can tell when Chris is blowing smoke or not is his closest friends. Maybe you guys should let him know how he comes off rather than making excuses for his harshness.

    And by the way I'm not on a high horse

    Hey Tiff! I don't have the car back yet but will before this weekend. No worries we'll have a good ride. They're replacing the whole hose so it shouldn't happen again, or at least not for another few years when the hose gets old again. And with how common it is I think they're extra-careful on these replacements so I'm hoping it will be better than it was when new (hey, $600 in parts and labor to replace a busted $10 hose ought to get you something, right?) :)

    This one does seem to creep up unexpectedly, however. A funny thing I spent some time checking out was that I had what seems to be an entirely unrelated coolant leak when the car went in from my "incident" (550 on the rocks, that is). In that case it seems one of the hoses down under had just gotten pulled off. They put it back on and pressure-tested the entire coolant system overnight. Checked out fine. No leaks at all. So it was fine then (basically December-January) and it's leaking now and by a visual estimate (dried coolant around the back of the engine bay) it was leaking for "2 or more weeks." Which means it happened sometime in February in all likelihood, but I have no idea how and no idea when. Mid-February I had a full detailing done which included detailing the engine bay, and we're pretty sure that if there were coolant residue it would have been noticed. So I think it happened after mid-February. I talked to Gus at Technik1 who did the detailing, and I'm fairly sure from what he told me of his process that nothing they would have done would have precipitated this. Best guess now is that in late February, I made a couple outings where the car would have sat in the cold for a couple hours between drives, and the heating/cooling/possible freezing might have caused a 3 1/2 year old piece of rubber to crack. Oh well.

    As for the hijacks, yes they happen all the time. I used to think it was annoying but now I see it the way everyone else does - just some fun and usually everyone's respectful enough not to hijack in the middle of a serious conversation. They'll wait till that's over and then let loose...

    I really need to take another drive up to Bruce's and visit everyone again. I seem too busy working and you guys seem to have lots of free time talking about sex as you drink Vodka straight up. Besides, the last few times Tiffany and I drove up she gave me a BJ in the Ferrari. You would think people never saw a guy getting a BJ while driving a Ferrari from some of the looks we get.

    If you guys want, I can bring my wife's best friend with me to Bruce's on Easter weekend. She is a former stripper and I am sure we can convince her to give us all a little show. I just wonder if she can give BJ's in a Ferrari!

    Enzo, the issue is dead. leave it there. If you read all the comments, you will realize that it started from a misunderstanding on Bruce's part. Then it took a life on it's on from there.

    Now the issue is dead, if you read the other post Bruce wrote. I like both men so let's leave it alone

    All I want to say is, EVERYTHING happens for a cause, ok?
    If I am harsh to someone, I MUST have a reason for it. Did it ever across your mind maybe that person was harsh to me first so I did it in return?

    The same has been said of Bruce, some of his close friends have said they've told him how he comes off as well... honestly I think Chris and Bruce have more in common on this front than they have differences... they both will rant a bit for fun, not really caring what other people think of them when they're doing it.

    Like I said before, I can't say that I fully understand it, but it works for both of them, I've been convinced that no harm is being done or is even meant, so, to each his own.

    Let's move along here. There's nothing to see here. :)

    I know you sticking up for your husband, what wife wouldn't? but let your husband and chris have their bantar. As Bruce's thread read it was all in good fun. Chris' post was to keep that going "in" fun.
    I never read a comment from chris that was making fun about you or your knowledge or lack knowlege of about ferraris or women in general. Our generation really does't think the way the older ones do about women in that way. I'm very glad about it too.

    This will be my last post on this thread.
    This was Geoffs thread...
    It all started because Chris made a comment about me "cleaning up Bruce's image"...
    All I did was respond appropriately.
    I didnt say Chris made fun.
    Its not all in fun when it has no place being on this thread.
    It wasnt about them.It was about the cars.
