Okay, I wrote a much longer post about this but.. eh, I'll just get to the point.

I ended up racing a kid in town down an empty but icey street. We're going as fast as Drew Carey's career, when after a turn, we both spin out on the street.

We're both just sitting there and I'm kinda catchin my breath and then I whisper, "I am a leaf on the wind... watch how I soar..."

To be honest, I cant leak out my own specs but this guy, Nick, had a Subaru WRX. He's smoke me if my car was stock.

Nice.

Given that you're still alive to post this, I'll assume you did better than you-know-who.

We're in Wyoming - we're all winter drivers here, and yes, all-wheel-drive. He was behind me on the left - I was in the middle of the road and he was on the right when we stopped.

Besides, this post is about the linkage to Serenity :P

Sadly kids did that after watching Superman, only they jumped out of tall buildings. Hope your situation was a little better off...

Naw. Gorba916 said he'd no longer be a 'Capulet', not a 'caplet'. Doze caplet doses are dee drugs...

As for the guys racing on icy 2-lanes in Wyoming, they're just doing their part to validate the actuarial tables. Betcha at least one of the cars was red, too...



Rigth-eously,

The WRX was blue, am I right? Most of them came stock with a blue paintjob.
