Very cool article on Corning in Forbes. Far and away my business units largest customer. I've seen my guys work 20hrs a day for 6 or 8 months at a time trying to fill orders for them. Ish gets cray around here when they (Corning) gets busy. We'll drop everything (not really) and do whatever we can to help them.

Don't know anyone so proud of the company they work for. Can't imagine how Pete would be if he worked for Ferrari!

Grillo would be proud working at hotdog stand. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

i respectfully think your nuts lol. the b8's are not soul less cars...under rated at 340/250 (375/300 with APR software). the 05 was a soul less naturally aspirated car. they consistently dominant journalist run "luxury sport sedan" comparo's, which includes being better than 335's.

but then i keep reminding myself that a kid at work spent $50k on a BMW and i could buy a 3rd car and still spend less than that. and s2k's are a pretty iconic car and probably will continue to go up in value.

ive never owned a RWD or supercharged car...need to fix that.

My Evo just sits in the garage. It's not fun to drive to and from work and when I do drive it I would like to get it up to full temp. Now that I'm not doing track events almost once per month, it feels like a waste and I've been thinking of consolidating cars and getting something that could serve as a daily and occasional track car but I don't think I could do that just yet. Soemthing about tracking a daily car doesn't sit well with me. Plus I like always having soemthing to fall back on when either car is down. I just need to better plan and budget my track time next year.

I'll probably keep it status quo. I just think of how much I'd safe on insurance and ****. The Evo is more per year than the rolla and subie together.

I've just been examining where all my hard earned money has been going lately.

The fun factor of the subbie and rolla combined doesn't even come close. What matters?
