Default So I was in Detroit this weekend....

And saw a very nice bright red 2005 GT on the road, very cool!

Very sharp looking in person

Also saw the ford test track and experimental vehicles / engines facilities - too bad I couldn't get in, lol!

I did however walk through Thomis Edison's original laboratory, The Wright brothers original store, and a bunch of other historic buildings at Greenfield Village....

Thought you guys would like this - Thomis Edison's original Dynomometer! (pic below)

Oh, and I also rode on the "Top Fuel" coaster at Cedar Point - 0 to 120 in 4 SECONDS!!!

Very cool!

It was a blast, they've had a LOT of problems with it and even injured a few people when the cable frayed a month or so ago. I have a vid from my digital cam I'll post later once I upload it. I can honestly say I've never felt acceleration like that - and the vertical rise / drop, like WHOA!
