Spotted a VR with Aero package and chrome wheels and a Yellow on the East bound US60 at about 5:20pm crossing under Country Club.

Easy I seriously can not believe how many 8's you see. SHEEEESH! I hardly ever see them it seems like. Even the 8s I tag never make their way over here.

Spotted a TI with some chrome rims in the drive-thru at Schlotskys on Country Club and Jaunita Dr. at about 12:30pm. Me and the co-workers were having lunch outside and one of the guys said ,"hey their's your car". Thought it was for a second.

Caught me trying to go to Pier-1 Imports. Oh and we were coming back from the youngest son's and heading to the older son's. It was visit the Grandkids Day.
I did spot a VR getting off the East bound Loop 101 at Northern.

The car was heading North from the I-10. I saw it just as it was getting off the freeway onto the ramp. So I really didn't get close enough to tell what the tags were. It was about 12:00pm something.

I like the 143 South to 10 East. Second apex down in the paint stains. Almost always another car in the way, though.

Yikes! I hope you're talking exit speed after the long straight onto the 10. I don't think I've ever had to go above 3rd gear before the trackout point of the corner.

Ah, very different corner.

I like the I-10 East after the Deck Park tunnel as it turns South.
If no one is in the lanes I use all four from the carpool lane to the inside of the curve, then back out to the carpool lane. ZOOM ZOOM

Oh ya ,,I spotted a WB on N. bound Ironwood at the US60. Honked and the guy driving didn't see or hear me. depression sets in.

Well, either you're full of it or you have absolutely no common sense. Plenty of track days in town to get your speed fix at...
