Ferrari Driving Experience

Leave a reply

This might be fun, Circuit Mont Tremblant, a former F1 circuit, looks like a lot of fun, and from the circuit map it seems quite high-speed, Not sure if I could get up to the F430 top speed of 196mph, but probably at least 160mph or so. The school is extremely overpriced though, but then you get to drive an F-car, and doesn’t look like they offer F430’s with clutch pedals. *sigh*

For the price I’d rather go to Skip Barber 3 times!!

The FERRARI DRIVING EXPERIENCE puts you behind the wheel of a Ferrari led by professional instructors who share the Ferrari passion for a unique driving experience. With a fleet of 12 brand new Ferrari F430s you will learn how to master the skills necessary to handle a 490hp Ferrari.
During this two and a half day experience, you will learn various driving techniques including threshold braking, weight transfer, managing acceleration, as well as finding the ideal apex point on curves and discovering the limits of vehicle adhesion in both wet and dry driving situations.

dry/raw denim

Leave a reply

After lurking on MyNudies more than I probably should have, I’m kindda intrigued by dry denim… it’s a lot more personal than pre-washed and pre-distressed ones… And now living in California it’s easier to go unwashed for 6 months. It would’ve been impossible in Texas… heh…

Next time I’m in SF I’ll definitely be checking out some Nudies (hopefully) Regular Ralf Dry Selvage or Dry Greycast, and the A.P.C. New Standard in unwashed indigo, and the H&M ones. I heard really good things about jeans at H&M and it’s hard to ignore them because of such low prices!!

how to get rid of hiccups

How to Get Rid of Hiccups – eHow.com

1. Swallow 1 tsp. white table sugar, dry. A study found that this stopped hiccups immediately in 19 out of 20 people. Repeat up to three more times at 2-minute intervals if necessary.
2. Gulp down a glass of water if the sugar doesn’t work.
3. Eat a piece of dry bread slowly.
4. Breathe in and out of a paper bag. Do not use a plastic bag under any circumstances, and don’t do this longer than 1 minute.
5. Gargle with water (see ‘How to Gargle’).
6. Repeat the above steps until your hiccups stop.

Tips: Keep in mind that hiccups can be caused by eating too fast and subsequently swallowing a lot of air or drinking too much alcohol.

I’ve always wondered why I get hiccups all the times… 😆
