my favorite memory of his posts was when he was trying to figure out how to get that new CGT into the garage. He had it figured down to the 1/8" or 1/16" of how it couldn't go in front ways and had to be backed in. I was amazed & stunned at the preciseness of his calculations. But then again, if I were bringing a CGT home, I might be too

Then someone asked a general question about possibly building a driveway so that a CGT could make it up it successfully- in general terms.

Ben responded with something like "you need 6.8 ft of cement at a slope of 21.7 degrees." I couldn't stop laughing realizing just how smart this guy Ben was.

Thank You Ben....
Here is that thread....

Another great post of his:

"Parker: "Quit spending my inheritence!"
Me: "But I bought it for you" :-)"

Followed by a picture of Parker sitting in the CGT.

that was a great one. I also liked when someone posted a picture of the CGT monocoque(SP?) and he just had a field day with it. "I'm not sure I like my monocoque exposed on the web like this" and "I'm not sure I like my monocoque exposed on the web like this" I loved reading his stuff, he was like a little kid in a grown ups body sometimes.

Rave, kudo's to you for this thread
Thanks, I wish I could do more, I feel so useless sitting here in NY behind a key board, my heart really goes out to Ben, Corey and their families. Every time, I see my Porsche let alone drive it I think about this tragedy in some sort of way, I don't think that will go away for a long long time, if ever.

"re: the Vette; ok you guys win.
Saw a half bald, excessive jewelry wearing, cel phone talking guy at the light in a new red vette and the license plate frame said "My Vette Gets Them Wet"."

Any of you guys find yourself thinking "I wonder what Ben would reply to that post.." while reading through threads?

His wit was really something...

From the E46 BMW board:

poster:'He's getting a free BMW dip****'

Ben: 'How's that?'

poster: 'Lemon Law'

Ben: 'Oh, I was under the impression that he paid for the first one and would have to give it back to get the second one making it not "free"'
