There's no bigger Pens fan than one like myself. I was right there when they were 28-54 a few years back. We all find consulation in the defeat, but sadly next year may not be as glorious. Malone will probably be gone. Hossa most likely as well. Roberts is on the brink of retirement. Gonchar may not have many left either. I think we have him for one more season. At any rate, it's going to be a different team. And with Malkin's entry level contract expiring, he'll command at least 8 million a year. Combine that with Sid's 9 mil and Gonchar's 5 and you're already almost half way to the cap. Fleury and Staal will also command lots of dough soon. Can you say Tampa Bay Lightning???

Shero said it the best - "In this league today there's only a window of a few years to win a cup." This was the first chance. Hopefully next year we can pull it off again.

(I should have been a Penguins writer. Better than that ******* Bob Smizick)

dave and i went to the first one, we were two of about 6 japanese cars there total, and we got a good amount of dirty looks and scoffing.

one guy's son started walking over to our cars all excited, and his dad grabbed him and redirected him towards a close by charger.

on the one hand it can be amusing to see old muscle heads hating on my car, but it can be a bit irritating as well.

over all the show is a nice atmosphere though, and they had apple dumplings in the food area, so that rocked.

Beaverun Wilson Circuit Time Trials

Don't Miss your chance to take home the Cup!

Sure the Pens will have to wait until next year but you can take home the cup in less then two weeks!

Justin had a good idea of having a little friendly competition at the time trial since most of us are fairly evenly matched. Hell even I might have a fighting chance this time.

Throw in $5.00 into a cup and the person with the FTD goes home with the prize. ALL the cash($25.00 WOOHOO!) AND

A Pittsburgh Penguins Souvenir cup!(plastic) retail value $6.00+ drink tax

Apple dumplings. Certainly don't have anything that tasty at Hot Import Nights.
The brand new GT500 Mustang that needed jump started. Someone forgot to tell the owner Flip Over Read Directions. The place was just about empty and you could see the disdain in his eye as he contemplated asking us for a jump.

See I've never encountered that down there. I mean, I don't have a bunch of
guys looking at my car, but doesn't matter to me. I go walk around and check
what everyone else has. Most are friendly and are car guys.

We get the "look" from the Old muscle car guys too, when we pull in and take up 6-10 spots in a row every week with new GTO's

But we also get a ton of questions and compliments... so it balances out. And we always have an incredible time...

Look for the bunch of GTO's in a row and come over and say Hi tomorrow

Am I Crazy?

...so I am considering selling my 2006 EVO IX MR and getting a daily driver, boring car. Then maybe pick up something I can trailer for drag racing (or autox).

I stopped at a dealer, and was surprised he wanted my car, found out Honda North in Butler loves EVO's. They have a 2005 on their lot.

Anyways, he offered me what I thought would be a fair "trade in" price, and now I am not sure if I want to sell or not. Good thing they didn't have the model and color of Civic I was looking at for a daily driver...or I might not have the EVO.
