I've never seen a GT without the stripes before. Huh.

True story: I saw an FX45 last night. I don't think I've EVER seen a 45 in the wild; they're *always* 35s. Would have snapped a pic but it was turning and my light was green.

I'm just glad it has a drop shadow given that the trend is to flatten out every logo.

I once corrected a college English professor's understanding of what it means to have a strong vs. weak constitution (she had it backward).
Oh, and I'm against the Oxford Comma myself (except for clarity). 😜

1JZ is still one of my favorite engines ever. Yamaha worked some kind of witchcraft with the cylinder head to make it sound downright F1-ish, and the 0.5 less displacement than the 2JZ allows a higher redline.

So cool. Agree about flying; I remember being all concerned it would be overregulated and not like I imagined, but then I got up by myself into the practice area on a beautiful sunny day and had all that altitude and space to play with and thought "Yeah, this is everything I hoped it would be."

Nope; you never do. I think about it when the weather turns and it starts to feel cold like it did that morning.
Soloing a taildragger! That's impressive. And your airport looks almost as small as the one I learned on. We called it "the Toothpick." 😁
