Day: 114
Location: The wilds of Carguy!'s remote exotic car compound.


'The day started off much like the previous 113 days have started...breathing exhaust fumes, eating a stale peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, and dodging a pesky squirrel that has haunted my very existence since the beginning of this odyssey. One of these days the antics of that damn squirrel is going to bring this situation to a head, and one of us might not leave this garage alive.

The location of my dark green Coleman sleeping bag, wireless Dell laptop, and pony keg of Coors Light, have yet to be found by Carguy!. Although the jig was almost up a couple of days ago when I was awoke from my slumber by the roar of something unexpected.....a Porsche Carrera GT!! Previosly I had been camped out underneath a tool box waiting to get my paws on the Lotus, but now....oh my friends....everything has changed. Oh yes....it has changed. As I wiped the sleepiness from my bloodshot eyes I squinted to focus on the swooping shape that now lay only meters from me. Initially I was drawn to it, much like a gnat is drawn to the gentle warm light of a bug zapper. I unknowingly began to exit my sleeping bag when....ZAPP!! I accidentally zinged myself on the 220 line that I had installed for an ultra-high speed power connection for my prototype computer server. OUCH!! Damn that hurt!! Luckily it zapped me back into my senses as I almost revealed my ingenious cover. The quick zap of 220, though frying some much needed brain cells, woke me enough to see that Carguy! was still in the Carrera GT!! WHOOPS!! He would have seen me for sure. That was close. I need to be more careful for sure.

Though my vision was now even more murky than before, and that 220 line gave my big toe on my right foot an involuntary twitch, I could still almost focus on the huge brakes, carbon fiber front splitter, and glossy silver paint. This car is beautiful!! I wondered to myself, 'Man...when is Carguy! going to get out of that car so I can get a closer look?? He seems to have camped out in it'. Just then I heard a 'click' and the door swung open....and Carguy! got out of the car. I thought to myself, 'Here we go...I can finally get a close look at the car...maybe even sit in it,' when the unthinkable happened. Carguy! went around to the other side of the car and got HIS OWN sleeping bag and pillow!! He went back around and tucked himself back into the Carrera GT, sleeping bag, pillow, and all....evidently HE is sleeping in the car now. He must know something is up in the garage....did he hear the crackle of my Dorito's yesterday?? DAMN!! I knew those things were too loud!! Next time I will just stick to fruit snacks. Evidently it is going to be a test of wills....who can sleep in the garage the longest?? Well...I have the upper hand....he does not know I am here.....maybe I will use my powers of stealth and creep closer to the car for a better view.....we will see what happens....on Day 115.'

ROFLMAO!!! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

I hope those Turkey Jerkeys I shipped via UPS have been good sustenance to you. I told the UPS guy to make the delivery at 3am himself, so as not to make unwanted attention.

I still have to go to the store and buy those extra Depends you wanted. Hopefully not too stinky as of yet!! :wink:

I am waiting for the UPS guy.....thanks for the heads up. :D
 
Only a small few are going to understand the humor in this story....we will see what happens. :)
 
Mitch, that was awesome! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
 
Let me know what you need in your next care package. I can supply you with oral hygiene supplies if needed. I may be able to get my hands on some chloroform for you to drug Carguy with which will then enable you to tinker around while he is "knocked out". I must warn you, the effects can be fatal if used improperly, though you may consider it an extermination method for your critter friend.

Keep up the good work. I'm looking foward to the next entry in your daily notepad.
 
You probably don't want to hear this right now, but I think your only hope for victory is the squirrel. Befirend him with leftover Doritos and jerky and train him to terrorize the enemy.

Good luck.
 
Get some bread and vodka. Soak the bread in vodka and throw it to the squirl. After a few peices you should be able to pick him up in your hands and put him outside. Cheap wine will work too. :biggrin: :biggrin: I had a chipmunk problem here and had to relocate the little bastards but I didn't want to harm them.

I tried that once too. But you know what they say...it starts out small like drinking. Now I have a bunch of crack addicted squirrels living behind my shed. They're always stealing car parts from me and selling them on Ebay for "quick fix" money. They've also started harrassing the local kids on their way to school.

Hehe....I may have to keep this in mind. :smile:

Hmmm...interesting idea. I am not sure though....he is a very sneaky little devil. I will have to watch him and see what his hidden agenda is.

It always comes back to the alcohol.....get the squirrel drunk. :biggrin:

I have access to "military food" PM me "carguys" address so I can send them to you :biggrin:


We are taking this to the next level....military level. Do you happen to have access to some Fruit Roll-Ups?? :redface:
 
ROTFL!!!

Don't make me send another squirrel after you!

Now that I know you have a weakness for 220 volts I am going to hot wire the car. Damn with the car being made of all Carbon Fiber my plan has some flaws!

I am going to be watching for the UPS guy at 3am and try and hijack your shipment!
 
Hey Meeyatch I have heard that carbon fiber has lots of protein, and is Atkin"s approved. :tongue:
 
hahahaha

Sounds like you're probably getting hungry.... So I'll make you a deal. I'll get you some food if you get me this:

UPDATE!!!

Day: 115

While day 115 has not totally ended yet I figured that I would give everyone an update on the situation here at 'Garage Ground Zero', as things have gone up a notch. This morning around 2:58 a.m. I was beginning to drift off into a slumber when my laptop popped up a message window....it was NsXMas from NSX Prime!! The message was simple, to the point, and encrypted to make it almost impossible for anyone with less than a third grade education to decode.

"Red dog to fuzzy puppy....come in fuzzy puppy. The brown hawk lands at 3 a.m.....he brings the Turkey Jerkey satchel for Mission 001....watch for 'The Squirrel with the Golden Gun' or his minnions.....they are onto you and your cover....this pop up window will self destruct in...oh...about 10 seconds."

Instantly I was forced to spring into action!! I could hear the brown hawk power down his diesel powered delivery vehicle as snow slowly crunched under its imense weight. Seconds later two feet were shuffling through the slush and snow.....the brown hawk tapped once on the ground outside the garage door and signaled his departure with a muffled barking sound. Clever, brown hawk....clever indeed.

Pulling my night vision binoculars to my eyes I could see that Carguy! was asleep in the Carrera GT....happily dreaming of long straightaways, curvy roads, and days of testing the Carrera on the Nurburgring most likely. Damn, how I wish I was him. A silver road rocket perched eagerly in my garage just waiting to be unleashed on unsuspecting backroads, race tracks....or Starbucks parking lots. But enough of the dreaming, I had to focus on the drop waiting outside my door. NsXMas had taken a big chance smuggling these Turkey Jerkey strips across enemy lines and then sending them with one of our operatives to drop at such a remote location. He was still on probation by 'The Director' for that tragic incident back in Tochigi when he tried to break into the R&D department to try and expose the next generation NSX. The need to know must have gotten the better of him, because when 'The Director' found him laying next to the test track all he could say was, 'VTEC....VTEC....gotta have a V8 with VTEC....,' and drool was running down his cheek. He never has been the same come to think about it.

Anyway, the delivery...I had to get it. My very survival depended upon it. I knew it would be no cakewalk....'The Squirrel with the Golden Gun' would see to that. He had already had operatives snatch my stash of Cool Ranch Doritos, so God only knew what other heinous acts of terror this fuzzy critter was capable of. I could almost hear him snicker in the distance...he knew that I knew he was watching.

Reverting back to my days as a Navy Seal.....okay, not a Navy Seal really...more like a Junior Seal from elementary school swim classes...anyway, I slowly wiggled my way across the floor, having left the security of my kevlar lined sleeping bag behind, along with my Hi-C juice box....DAMN!! I was not finished with that one yet either...and boy am I thirsty!! Oh well....gotta move on....must get the 'package'. Slithering across the floor with stealth only rivaled by a trained sniper, I could see my target outside the door. The shadow of the tattered brown bag left a distinctive shape that my trained eye...and starving stomach...could easily make out as a grocery bag. Looking side to side...waiting for 'The Squirrel' (as I call him for short) to show his furry little face, I made a move for the door. Carguy! was still passed out in the Carrera GT, blissfully unaware of what was going on only a mater of meters from him and the striking metallic chariot from Germany that he now used as a second bed. Whipping out a model SLO-002 alarm decoder, I powered down the alarm on this garage fortress and opened the door with only a slight 'snick' giving away my movements. Within seconds I has completed the 'Jerkey Recon' and was back within the safe confines of my Coleman sleeping bag. It was easy....almost too easy. Where was 'The Squirrel'?? I knew he was out there. Years ago he had vowed revenge on me...I knew he would not sleep until he had it. But for now, I was the victor. Camped out in the garage in secret. Gazing happily at one of the most amazing vehicles ever to lay rubber to the road....the Porsche Carrera GT. All the risks involved in a mission of this magnitude seemed worth it as the ceramic brakes warmly glowed from the dim Mickey Mouse nightlight I had posted over my second basecamp computer. It is amazing what a car can do to you....this Carrera GT had that power.

Snapping into a Turkey Jerkey and sipping on a slightly warm soda, I could not help but imagine the exhaust sound...the loud, glorious, exhaust sound. Wailing down the Michigan backroads...sound reverberating from underpasses.....the intoxication of a true supercar at play. Play on, Carrera GT...play on.

What riveting updates!

Too bad this isn't a reality TV show. We could all monitor Carguy's garage & CGT and see every detail of what we all desire... :wink:
 
Thanks guys!! I am glad that you all enjoy the story. Lucky for me there are people on here who are entertained by my humor. :)

You should write a little fiction for NSX Driver. I was never able to develop good writing skills so I really enjoy little stories like yours.

Thanks for the chuckles and please keep them coming. Maybe you can start a forum for NSX fiction.

Thank you. By the way....does NSX Driver still exist?? I have not seen one in quite a while.. :frown:
 
This stuff is amazing Meeyatch! You have a talent for this kind of thing. I'm sure if this got to the CGT guys they would enjoy it just as much as we do.... Coming from another make forum and all, would just add to the comedy.:)
