Okay, enough with the hate mail asking why we haven’t updated in a week. S:S:L is back, and running on a new home somewhere in cyberspace which means we can get back to our normal schedule around here. Just a couple of things of personal note since this is a purely volunteer driven site so you know why we’ve been a little slow the last week or two…
-
Jack and Michelle are the proud new parents of John C. Baruth III … congratulations are in order! Jack has promised that John will be learning to double clutch by the age of 1, so we won’t skip a beat there.
-
Hey, I’m planning a wedding here! Try to explain to my fiancee why I can’t look at flowers because I have to work on my website…it doesn’t work. Just kidding babe, you know I love you!
-
Finals Finals Finals! Damn that school getting in our way.
Yeah, excuses excuses…we know. As soon as our DNS propogates fully we’ll have a couple of new articles up from some guest writers that we know you’ll enjoy. Just a reminder, this IS a volunteer driven site. If you want to join the team, or contribute in any way, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line. Chances are you can’t be any worse than we already are, so we’ll probably welcome you with open arms.
Thanks again to all 5 of our loyal readers!
Congrats on the little tyke Jack! Congrats on the wedding Zerin! As I guess one of the five loyal readers, I'm glad to see an update. Yes, finals suck. Fortunately for me I'll never have one again (graduated from college three days ago.)
But yeah, I'm certainly looking forward to the next "Avoidable Contact" — it's easily one of the best running blog series's out there. If you're ever phenomenally desperate for a guest writer, drop me a line.
Thanks Grant! Great photography on your site by the way.
Thanks! Fortunately, I've gotten quite a few opportunities to take lots of photos over the past school year. Unfortunately, very few of those have involved cars – my greatest obsession in life.
Congrats to both Jack and your self, Zerin! I was beginning to think the whole staff died in some freak school bus lap record attempt up Pike's Peak or something(would make for one hell of an article by the way)!
Haha thanks man! Matt Hardigree from Jalopnik and I are heading up to San Antonio this weekend to go shoot AK-47s at armored cars, all of which will be captured on my new HD video camera for your viewing pleasure. If one of us ends up shooting ourselves, it will be as equally entertaining as drifting a school bus up Pike's Peak.
OHHOLYHELLTHATSOUNDSAWESOME!!!
Oh, wow, you have been forgiven for the lack of updates!!!
Congrats!
Most on the Baruth 3, but also on wrapping up finals and impending nuptials!
(All great excuses to imbibe)
Re: Mr Baruth the Third…what's the plan for name/nicknames? I have a cousin once removed named Casper Carson Conrad [Lastname] the 3rd. He goes by "Tre".
Hey, congrats to all! I only count 3 unique readers here in the comments, so I guess that makes me Loyal Reader #4. But I know there are more, as quite a few Jalops peek over here. Plus, I keep sending postings to my dead-beat friends…one of them MUST have started checking daily by now.
Have fun with the AK-47s, Zerin. You should check out the Saiga 12 gauge semi-auto — it's based on the AK-47, but shoots shotgun shells. A friend has one…it's nuts.
w00!
I can volunteer to keep heckling you guys to keep posting the literary crack:)
Congrats to you Baruths and Dubes!
i think we're overdue for a comparison test that'll rattle the internet establishment!
Love that M3 pic……
Congrats Jack!!
AK-47s?!?! That sounds like way too much fun… Maybe take an errant shot at Haridgree's Volvo?
Long time reader, third (?) time commenter, first time with a login.
I count nine other readers on this post, so I guess this makes me Loyal Reader #10.
Welcome back, S:S:L. Congrats to the Baruths on the new arrival, and to Zerin & Co. for the impending nuptials.
Thanks for the comments… Just like Gilles and Graham, I expect to die in the race car just in time to inspire my son to a World Driving Championship.
Congrats all around. Keep the well-written and entertaining information coming.
Jack, what does your son think of the GT-R?
Sterile, like his incubator. Thank you! Try the veal!
In case of content drought, the Utterli sidebar carries microblogged content from my highmileage.org project. You can usually click through to watch a video or reach a photo album to tide you over 'til Zerin and crew give up the good stuff.
Hey Zerin. How’s that wedding coming?
