I was unable to practice my english skills at all on the states. :p

On L.A., NY, and Miami I spoke almost all the time in spanish.

I spoke to Jim Langer at Racing Beat and apologized for my lack of proper english and he told me not to worry, most people there speaks worst than me

i'm a police officer in the town i live in. its a good job and it can be pretty exciting. i usually work nights, 7p to 7a. i get ragegd on a lot for driving the 7 to work. the other guys think its funny that i drive a 20 year old car. but what they dont know is tha my 20 year old car was built by me. bought for $200 with a smoked engine and half of the interior missing. car was ready for the scrapper. everything was wron or rusty with this car. i bought it and after a few months of work, the 85 S is my daily driver!!

Wacky's experience in law enforcement is probably in the back seat of the cruiser.

I need to make a public apology to darthrotary, my comment about gas profits was meant to poke a little fun at the petroleum industry and was not intended to be personal.

Also, I think wacky is from down there in Florida, law enforcement is a little different in that neck of the woods.

For example, they wack thugs over the head with RX-7 transmissions down there, that's how he got the name "wacky":

Quote from wacky: "me = holding the tranny"

Could be worse; no one likes lobbyists either.

I'm working for the MOD, for the next year. Too much travel and not enough driving time.

I am the Senior Loss Prevention Manager for Victoria Secrets. My job is to sit behind the 2 way mirrors in the dressing rooms and ensure that no clients are hiding any product when they leave. I also have a side contract with Viagra to test the effectiveness (duration the product is effective). I have found that I am able to do both jobs effectively at the same time.
