    Well you see honey, remember how you told me not to drive like a maniac on the city streets? Well there's this thing I saw on Ebay...

    I've been to a track day there, though I did the flags and didn't race. I didn't know they were selling. Maybe Don and I can go in together.

    It sounded like they have a relatively full schedule on the track, with events and driving schools and the like. I wonder how much profit they turn in a year.

    Don - think they will let us "try it before we buy it" and burn a couple hot laps before committing?

    Definately better to ask for forgiveness than permission on this one!

    I'd be happy to be part of the evaluation team.

    It'll be the first e34-only track in the US!

    Add in an E34 museum and we've got a tourist trap... Some slot machines... Maybe a ferris wheel... How could we go wrong?

    Default Bids have gotten just a little out of reach . . .

    Dang, bids are edging right up to 4 million. The numbers would have worked Friday when it was only 15k but looks like I'll have to sharpen my pencil now
