If you've never played with an RC car in your life, then get the hell out of the bubble you live in and get one!   And once your confident enough with your hand/eye coordination, step up to a gas powered beast!  I love my new truck!  I didn't get to do too much with it yesterday because of the wonderful weather we had, not that I let it stop me, but yesterday was break-in day so I had to take it easy.  I have one more tank of gas to burn through and then I'm free to do what I want!  I let Joni drive it and while she had a few close calls, she handled it just fine.  If the weather doesn't improve today, which is likely, I'll probably go back to the garage and finish off the last tank and start fresh when the weather turns. 
    I had hoped to go golfing today with Jeremy, but according to the local weather we may not have the opportunity.  There is supposed to be break in the storm for an hour or so, I may take that opportunity to head out to the driving range to shag a few. 
    Didn't much think abou the car yesterday, although we did have to stop by it to get our umbrella out of it.  The hood was down so I didn't get to see what shape the engine was in, but I can only imagine that it looks pretty bad.  They are still on track to get it back to us by Monday, so we'll just wait and see how it goes...they didn't call with bad news so I'll just assume that no news is good news.
