    In San Francisco for a couple of days (great city!) to drive new Chryslers. Reaffirmed something I'd observed before (I bet none of you car guys noticed). Ralph Gilles is really, really, smokin' hot.

    Car guys only notice those "hot" car guys when even hotter car gals notice them.

    Just sayin............

    You're right-I never noticed. Nor did I care to. But I have noticed some fairly hot female automotive writers....and their number is growing!

    I have a strongly held belief that if I was gay I'd totally be into black guys. Ralph Gilles reaffirms that.

    I believe I have said too much on the subject.

    That is all.

    Wait, wasn't it you that already said too much on the subject of George Clooney? I guess Black Irish counts too?

    So, how did the Challenger do at Infineon?

    With Clooney it's more about him being cool than handsome.

    Ralph Giles aside, at what time of day did they have you driving around the city? Rush hour sucks no matter how nice the car you driving.

    Probably will be held at Infineon, only.

    That is what mass transit is for. I wish they would hurry up down here, it is getting better though.

    Oh cripes, we've been driving at ALL times of day, starting at 7:30, all over the state. Only took the Challenger on-track, about 4-5 laps. It's fairly ferocious. The rest of the time has been spent in Chargers, Durangos, Gr. Caravans and Journeys. Ralph has been with us virtually the whole trip. JG, you can keep Clooney, Ralph's right up there with the 911 Turbo S.

    Uh, wait... What???

    You're equating Ralph Gilles to a Porsche that made you proclaim "Abstinence it is!!!"?

    Two separate events, in the span of a few days, that seemingly make you want to swear-off sex? What'd you do, get married or something?

    I'm confused... Although not nearly as much as JG, apparently.

    how did they spin the town and country's nearly 5k jump in base price?

    Well... the interior's a whole lot nicer.

    JG, I owe ya, big time. I managed to make a table of six guys blush with your "non-union carpenter" line when Ralph went up to the buffet for more grub .

    Cool guy, he'd fit right in here. He was telling us about hotrodding the family minivan back in the 90s and used to own a Scirroco.

    BTW, those of you who live in San Francisco are blessed, what a beautiful area! Love the twisty mountain roads (where we spent a great deal of our time).

    The beer's not bad out here either.

    The head brewers from Sierra Nevada and Anchor Steam recently went in together on a special release for Sierra's 30th Anniversary. I've heard there is a holiday stout or something recently out. You could probably find some place around that has these releases on tap.
