Love Italian cars. I have a 91 testerossa. My friend has a relatively new 458 Italia and that is a beast. Not sure I would want to deal with all the electronics in the newer models.

Agree, all the cars I have had were not electronic. The Ferrari's were between 1969 and 1977...The 190sl I had was a 1960....I've had a few Porsches too. Meant to keep one of the 911's but after one ride by my wife....which I went quite slow....she said she'd never ride in it again...Ha

I have a 1978 280Z in pristine condition.  It is an bright yellow, which I could live without, but it underwent a frame off restoration about 10 years ago and I picked it up this year.  Really like it for cruising.

Always remember, the same country that invented golf and called it a game, invented bag pipes and called it music.

Why didn't you change the color while you were restoring it?

It was restored 9 years before I purchased it.

Thanks.  My son and I have had a lot of fun in it over the years.

Many car shows and group rides.

One time we had 15 Vettes go on an all day ride through 3 states for about 350 miles.  Lots of fun and many thumbs up to all of us.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
