the 46% return rate on my 401K in 2009 was pretty sweet… but does it make up for the -52% return in 2008? i think not.

@mattmeis i discovered that driving the STi in snow is HARD b/c it’s nigh impossible to only send a LITTLE power to the wheels

‘Law Abiding Citizen’ is the second best movie I’ve seen this year. Don’t watch the trailer b/c it’s full of spoilers.

@tab126 the STi for sure - the bike wouldn’t have made it out the driveway.

via web in reply to tab126

that was intense. saw numerous wipeouts but somehow no collisions. almost completely lost it in my neighborhood due to black ice.

now that the snow has started sticking to the ground, it’s time to take the STi out for a spin
