Default Re: Cool race car names!

If you look closely, Billy is of course adjusting his helmet/glasses/sleeves/position in his seat. When Billy stages a car, a guy steals 3rd base. He's also the only guy I've ever seen get an Autostart time-out on a solo run!

Yup. I think Mr. Bill and I have raced three times. He was red once, broke out once, and just flat beat once.... but of course he was disarming.

"Michael, ya gotta understand something: YOU'RE the local hero. You're SUPPOSED to beat me. It doesn't MEAN anything."

He's really no fun.

I did the Nees's Pieces on his 4-door car, but I'd really like to re-do it sometime. I was tinkering with some different print settings, and I'm not happy with the quality on it at all. Maybe I'll replace it for him when he gets the Turismo done.

I would love to be able to pick Billy's brain like you can
Let me share a few things with you that I have learned from Billy over the years.
- Pay attention to vapor pressure
- Flash cooling
- "Don't touch that."
- "You've finally grown up when you realize all of your heros are *&&h*les"
- "When in New Jersey, don't make eye contact, and don't say 'hi'. They're liable to think something's wrong with you, follow you home, and shoot you."
- "Don't stick your head in the transmission fluid bucket."

Lots of other little things, but those are the 'words to live by'.
