best thing that's happened to me all day

Look up a Facebook group called LA - Police Chases. They report the daily police chases that happen in LA. So far there's been a minimum of 1 each day this week. None today however. Yesterday some lady was trying to get away in a Uhaul and rammed a few cars.

We DVR that show and tend to watch it throughout the week when we're bored. Some pretty good episodes lately. If you need to run away from the cops, Lake County has a no pursuit policy, as long as they don't have to chase someone who has committed a serious crime.

As of about 10 years ago... all the towns in McHenry County were on different radio frequencies, and they were different from the County Sherriff.
So if you were being chased for doing wheelies, or drag racing in, oh, I dunno, say, Crystal Lake... and you skee-daddled out of town into unincorporated McHenry County, or into neighboring Lake in the Hills, or Huntley.... you were home-free. Not that I'd know anything about that.

:wub: I love English Muffins,or sourdough toast is good. Some nice warm tortillas would have been good with this too.

Where is everybody?
Getting very close to "overhaul" season. I need one more short drive in the racekar to collect some datalogs for the tuner, then she's getting parked. I tried running some logs yesterday, but the roads were WAY too sketchy. I took 90 all the way to the WI border hoping to find an open dry stretch... but nope. Car got loose on me in 3rd (which is the gear I need to collect 2-3 WOT passes) so I parked it. Damn.
Thought about driving it to work today but "freezing fog" all over the news scared me off. Of course by the time I got to Schaumburg it was sunny and dry... figures.

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
Slow day in here. I have mine in semi parked for the winter mode. It can easily be put back to drivable status for a day if it does end up nice out one of these weekends. I'm getting close to downing it for several weeks though. The question is really do I leave it at my house where I can work on it whenever I want and take my time? Or take it to my buddies where the lift is and then make it harder to go work on it randomly but have a lift and air tools.

Yeah this will be the first year my toy car will be actually "parked" with no insurance (at my house... I had no insurance on it all last year but that's because it was at the shop...)
Usually (as in, with the old 944) I left insurance on all winter in case of a nice day. But with 2 toy cars now (mine and wifey's) it gets expensive lol... I'd rather pocket the money for the next few months I'd otherwise dump on insurance when I know the cars are just going to sit. Plus, at least with the 944, I did have a cheap set of all-seasons mounted to the OE 16's. The current two only have summer rubber.

I'm off work today, so haven't been online much. Put some fresh Mobil 1 in the car today.

Can't you add insurance just for a day with most policies?
I got ancy and pre paid for a few track days already for 2018. Just gonna throw them on the calendar now so it's well planned out far in advance.

I guess it depends on what kind of work you will be doing. Both options have their advantages though.

Probably? I understood it to be "frowned upon".
At any rate... pulling insurance keeps the wife's car from finding itself completely coated in salt. She loves the car but would drive it through a tornado if she knew I wouldn't find out about it lol. If she knows it's not insured then it'll stay nicely tucked away all winter.
