I like red, also, but it won't do over 100MPH, I tried one on the
autobahn ;-)

I've got the nice torquey 2-liter 4-cyl, which isn't feeling a bit
strained at 80 MPH, about the fastest I've tried it. Wide-open spaces
this ain't. It does blast up hills pretty well, which I do about 40
times a day. It helps that my skinny wife doesn't bog it down much,
too.
My project for the day (or more like for the summer, maybe) is
repairing our antique freight elevator. It's late 1940's vintage,
mostly wood construction, 3-floor hydraulic (using water!) This place
was a fortune-cookie factory for 50+ years, so the dirt+grease
multilayers are awesome. I'm also designing a fast-ish 1310 nm
singlemode laser driver, which is pretty simple except that the laser
needs severe drive-current temperature compensation, very nonlinear on
temp, which makes it a little interesting given the < 4 sq inch size
of the pcb.
