Be careful, or Digital Damage will post useless links to justify why he cannot spell.

He also spelled 290 wrong. You spelled spelled wrong. But who's counting?

"Spelt" is actually an acceptable variation of "spelled". I think "spelt" is more common in the UK and Australia than it is in the USA, but it's not an incorrect usage.

I have a much more difficult time explaining this THREAD, however. Not only aren't there any photos (acceptable, I guess), but there are TWO nearly identical threads describing the photo-less event...

https://www.rx8club.com/gulf-rx-8-forum-32/toasted-rx-8-a-98345/

...the only difference being the title of the thread.

Smelt can be a fish. Smelt can also be what you do to metalic ore to separate constituant metals. Smelt, to melt or fuse. Smelt swim in water. Smelt is not how you smelled in the past. :smile:

Ok, I'm just funnin. Here is a pic of my car after a not so fun introduction to a tree. It's all fixed now and I have a much better sense of respect for out arborial friends.

I was only going about 30mph but I had taken a wrong turn and was unfamiliar with the twisty country road I had stumbled onto... at night. The hairpin caught me off gaurd and I had no time or pavement to do anything but get that neat Jedi sense that my night was about to come to an abrupt and decidedly unhappy ending. I drove out to the same curve the next day in my wife's Mini Cooper S and could not safely round the same curve over 25mph.

6 weeks later and she's good as new. The collision shop did a very good job.
