Having a 12 second Honda is just like coming out of the closet; You're going to surprise a bunch of people, but in the end you're still gay.

Time Namibia was memorable. My parents lived in Luderitz before I was born, thus it was very special to go there. And we were treated to the best possible weather. Namibian Valey of a thousand hills certainly left a lasting impression.

Actually took a nice drive in Elders today
