"I forgot to turn the video on so should I go back in .....?!"

These aren't exactly quotes, but I've either seen them on t-shirts, bumper stickers, or sometimes heard via someone verbalizing, and most of them are well-known already, but might be fun to list them here:
"I got this racecar for my wife. Pretty good trade, huh?"
"My wife says if I go racing one more time she's gonna leave me. I'm going to miss her."
My personal favorite (if the shoe fits . . . ): "The older I get the faster I was."

Never trust your track junkie friend with an excuse!!
LOL Tedro, I knew you would pull something like this ... :biggrin:
I had a challenge yesterday with the ABS which it turns out needed some real "exercise" ....... I had blast driving on 6 year old street tires with totally street pads, with minimal braking if any (just tapped them - rotors temps on the front were less than 220F!!!) and on the CW direction without embarrassing myself:smile:
So did you catch the rain by late afternoon?
And my wrapper was still bigger than yours :tongue:
