At the close of a Fast and Furious as Dom and Brian drive away, the song goes:
"It's been a long time without you my friend
and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again."

What's been going on around here?
People change. The car scene changes.
17 year olds grow up, get legit jobs, chick gets pregnant, have some kids, buy a house.......
sell the Honda...... lol
The guys who brought me Hondas to fix got respected by me back then,
and now they bring me Mercedes, BMW, SRT's
This year at Simply Clean there were 2500 cars packed into 1,000 legit spaces
.....and a few on the grass.... lol
The guys who drove Hondas years ago got real jobs, a family, a house and now drive expensive and highly modded cars. But after Simply Clean when the cop cars and helicopter showed up at Donny's (around 8 minutes 30 sec, maybe 10 minutes)
And again:
Donnies Donuts at 12 minutes. Blue lights courtesy of the 6 cop cars.... 2 helicopters ....priceless....
.....where a gazillion people were watching the burnouts, it looked about the same as when we watched burnouts back in downtown Orlando years ago
....just before the cops kicked us out.
Philosophically,
1.The kids driving Today's Hondas are us.....parents didn't like our haircuts, our music, our cars, our attitude, etc.....
2.Everyone says the car scene is not like it used to be.
3.You can't go back there anymore......because there isn't there any more.
But.....
Go to Belaire Plaza for the Turkey Rod Run where the retirees are doing burnouts...in the car they always wanted back in high school.......that's us too.
But not everyone knows that........ yet... (wink)
