:shock: That horrible cracking sound you hear is is the Universe imploding...it simply cannot stand the stress of Wes and I agreeing on something. :shock:

Seriously, we ARE agreed that the cars are great cars (but would be even better with rack and pinion :lol: ), and indeed it would be great to cross paths if we can get some mid atlantic Xfire owners to do some road trips when good weather comes (and stays). There are things going on in OC, and no doubt Virginia Beach.

I'd love some to go to a Friday at the Track at Summit Point in West Virginia.

Jim, I understand your math and your general concept, but to be honest with my deductions...the main one of which is my mortgage, I pay in federal taxes on an income more than double your example not much more than your $50K earner would pay. It may be selfish, but with that model I would wind up paying more in taxes if my deductions were eliminated.

But even if I'm at the far end of the bell curve and your math holds for the majority, the main problem would be one of perception.
