Monday night at 8 p.m. Liz Clarke, a fine sportswriter for The Washington Post, will be at Books and Books in Coral Gables to talk about her book on NASCAR, One Helluva Ride, which I just finished reading, and really enjoyed. I'll be introducing Liz, drawing on my extensive experience driving on NASCAR tracks.

Has anyone seen my turbo charged Yugo with the spoiler?

Dibs on the pace car (dangling a carrot) and hot dog camper.

Get thee to the Autobahn, Dave. Whatever you car will do. No instructors. Blissfully silent passengers.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 29, 2008 at 12:03 PM
Meanie - g forces will do that to passengers.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 29, 2008 at 12:06 PM

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 29, 2008 at 12:12 PM
Annie, Tex?? I'll be right there as soon as my "crew" finish warshin' ma ride.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 29, 2008 at 12:14 PM
oh yeah and..um..warning.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 29, 2008 at 12:15 PM
The Weinermobile as the pace car... now that would be fun.
Will participants be allowed to bump draft while waiting in line? How about in the parking lot after the book signing?
Posted by: Not my usual alias | February 29, 2008 at 12:15 PM
that is a fine ride, Siouxie. the car is not too bad either.
Posted by: wickedwitch | February 29, 2008 at 12:17 PM
There was a car in that picture? Dang, Sioux!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 29, 2008 at 12:20 PM
*Note to self: post warnings before placing link*
Crack team ya got there, Sioux.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 29, 2008 at 12:21 PM
NMUA - if you knew anything about NASCAR, bump drafting a Weinermobile is considered bad form.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 29, 2008 at 12:22 PM
Actual footage of Dave hugging the wall!
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 29, 2008 at 12:29 PM
I am now out of eye bleach.
Posted by: Circuit7 | February 29, 2008 at 12:31 PM
You're welcome, ladies.
Meanie, I warned...post-rear-iously..but I warned ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | February 29, 2008 at 12:32 PM
Meanie - I remember that race - The Huggies 500. Around lap 425, Dave lost his pacifier....
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 29, 2008 at 12:49 PM
VERY funny video, Meanie!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 29, 2008 at 12:55 PM
Woot!
I did this last year for my 50th birthday, except I was in Daytona.
And, as luck would have it, along about lap 6 it started raining so I get to go back and do it again.
Frickin' phenomenal!
Posted by: Jollymon | February 29, 2008 at 01:30 PM
Oh wow, Sioux, I feel the need for multiple pitstops. After, a well maintained vehicle is a very good thing!!!
Posted by: Texgal | February 29, 2008 at 02:13 PM
Texgal - your car is nearly as dirty as your mind.
Cool.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 29, 2008 at 03:08 PM
Nah, Annie. If I drove my Honda a thousand times through the world's biggest mudhole, it would still be pristine compared to my sweet little dirty mind.
