PLUS, one for fun.
I wanted cool, quick and a standard shift, Mama wanted a 4 door to take our elderly friends out in. I thought this Mini Cooper Countryman sport was the perfect compromise.

I love it and having the time of my life and at 74 no less . .

    Not turning but violently spinning and all the while screaming, "Oogah boogah! Oogah boogah!"
    In other words, I don't think much of things oogah boogah.
    This coming from someone steeped into the occult when I was much younger and way before I ever heard of Ayn Rand.
    Now I do what The Bible says to do about things occult. Stay the hell away from it.
    This from an ex-Catholic nondenominational Protestant who save for funerals hasn't set foot in a church for at least a decade.
    I'm hardly perfect but I do pray a lot. Anyone don't like that? See if I care.
    Hey, see if I care if you don't like this personal theory. Exiled Cain went to that "Land Of Nod" place an took a Neanderthal for a wife.
    Such is why scientists now say it is found that we all have a smidgeon of Neanderthal DNA.
    Neanderthals evolved. What is the rest of us didn't. Well, at least that works for me the dino.

    I don't buy any of this nefarious Freemason crap. Does our nation's capital street pattern and buildings have some geometric design built in by architects and engineers of the day who were members of the masonic fraternity? Probably as I've seen books on the subject, but not because of any evil spirit mumbo-jumbo. Does the new ballroom have some kind of Faraday cage tech built into it to prevent electromagnetic eavesdropping or harmful frequency transmission into it? I wouldn't be surprised because it's a good idea, but again, evil spirits?

    The Iran regime cheering for the DNC puts it in the open. I'll have to keep F.L.U. in mind, LOL. Enjoy the Mini!

    Cars real, track fake. Don't want anyone to know where we were and my bucket list was for the Nürburgring. (I'll never get there in a million years at this stage). Helmets required with roll cages.

    Don't know about your area but we now have "Flock" cams with lic plate readers all over the place. Want to keep this area secret.

    Now I'm confused. Was this live on a real track or was it AI? I'm guessing AI since no helmet.

    AI put us both on the track from my shots but don't think he was interested in keeping up, I enjoyed the pass just the same.

    PS, that's 145 out of a possible 160 by the way. Car is not built for racing, even with the front drive, the corners can get scary. Both of us Need work to do that for a living.

    I have always wondered about the weird street geometry in DC.
    How'd your Mini fare against the C8 Corvette?

    The Construction and subterranean deconstruction of the Ball Room was an interesting read, wonder if those long since past Masons are turning over in their graves . . .
