On Trains, Automobiles, and Planes...

  (Paraphrased with much respect to John Hughes, love that movie ...and I miss John Candy)   Prologue .  This post is a place for me to toss down random thoughts on this subject over time, organize them, and mull them over. Call it my catharsis. I don't expect it to be interesting to anyone else but I'm making it so that I could get some thoughts from others (after all, the knowledge of the masses is, well, pretty massive!)

1992 Runoffs Wrap-Up

  As told by J.J. Gertler of Hard Drive in the GEnie Automotive Forum, October 1991 Editorial Note. In 1992 I was a member and admin of GEnie's Automotive Roundtable, where I met JJ Gertler. By 1992, JJ and I were partners in an SCCA Showroom Stock effort in a Nissan NX2000.
