500,000 volts kiddies will do this sometimes. Do not try this at home.

Viv and I were discussing you...

No, I get those wheels! ;-)
Drifting looks like a blast! I'd love to learn how to do it, but not in my car ;-) Thanks for the CD.

Maybe next time...
I'm off to ATL again on Sunday. Only for 4-days this time. I may even be back in-town for the Chapter meeting in August. I may have to ride instead of drive though. :-)
