    Porsche VS GT 500

    It was a crisp November morning last year and I was cruising the Mexican countryside enjoying my newly modded GT500. In my rear view mirror I notice a brown spot getting closer and closer. The brown spot materialized into a brown Porsche Turbo closing the gap quickly. I estimate it was doing...

    Mcleod Adjustable TOB

    The Texas State Trooper and the kidney stone.

    I'm the ER doc for a small town ER. Everyone in the town seems to know everyone else. One of my favorite nurses is Maggie.

    Encounter with a bad cop

    This happened about 3 years ago but I thought that civilians and cops both might learn a lesson from it. Its kind of long but the detail are important. It shows how to handle things when the LEO is bad. I bought my son a new Mustang GT in the summer of 2007 as a graduation present and a...
