Dave, the parole board... er... committee is still contemplating your application. We were reviewing the rules and found:
tire burn out = DD
skip shift burn out = not DD
wax car twice = DD
wax legs once = not DD
ownership = 2 years (as stated by highly respected forum moderator)
ownership = 3 years (as stated by.... Dave.)
May have to have another poll unless we receive some more evidence. Do you have a picture of your car within 500 yards of a racetrack?

Um. No splitter either. What's with the white spot on the front fender? This isn't an old photo before you really went to the white side, is it? The probation committee will have to hear about this.
Got any rubber bits in the wheel wells? Can we see a picture of the undercarriage, too?

I've forwarded those questions to my attorney Tom. I'm sure he'll be having his people contact your people's people and then we can get the plating done of my new wings lapel pin.
I have to admit, it is refreshing to sit back on the porch with my feet up and a tall frosty Lone Star in hand, knowing that I've achieved a status amongst my peers that would be the envy of virtually every Honda driver in my redneck little town. Yup, Viper DD wings from the Supreme Leader of the Viper Nation of Grand 40mm Wizards.
I'm going to call this a small step in the impact I want to have on this following. My next goal is to once and for all solve the greatest mystery in all automotive history. The first bullet in many World wars as men argued this question. What is the most desirable color???

General Leslie,
We will have to close this thread soon or else the Divisional Order of DDs will be blamed when Private Dave (probationary) starts insisting owners of red Hondas install white hood vents and ABS.

The committee will review the image for photochoppiness. Looks like a reflection from the flash to me. Where's the picture of the undercarriage again?

The charcoal was not in a plastic bag, so that gained points. However, rumors that your car has lights underneath are currently being investigated. Preliminary information indicates you don't have actual lights, but there is a high degree of reflection. I think you should reflect on whether this reflects proper DD philosophy. We usually don't tolerate such brilliance.
BTW, that shop broom still has the wrapper on it, so that counts for zero.
PS looks like a bolt missing under the fascia. That's good.

Tom.. I suspect this is a staged garage event.. Dave is a pretty smart guy and I think he positioned the items as if they shifted under acceleration on a hard right turn, but I am a little skeptical since the Walmart bag items did not come out of the bag under hard braking. I also think if you rolled up a grocery cart, you would place the lighter items into the car first (you wouldn't stack oil or charcoal on top of the other items in the grocery cart) so the heavy items should have went into the car last forward of the lighter items. I think a map should be reviewed, how many right turns vs. left turns does it take to get from Walmart to Dave's garage?

Dave's dead meat anyway. The broom was a giveaway and I was hoping he'd 'fess up. I've put fluorescent bulbs, rug edge strips, collapsable pool skimmer poles and rolled up rugs in the passenger side; everything slides down into the foot box and then whacks you on the right shoulder. Definitely staged.
'Fess up, Dave.

I'm supposing while you slept in the hotel room?
Great catch you're gonna make.
Oh, and touching only counts in the bedroom.

Tom, I got bored sitting on the front porch waiting for the FedEx truck to bring me my package. So I took the car out for a spin and it rained. Actually, "spit on" would probably be the more appropriate term. When I got home I did not detail the car at all.
How much more evidence do you need?!?

OK Tom. I'm out. Done. No more pursuit of DD status for Dave.
Based on techniques used by the American Academy of Forensic Sciences for blood splatter analysis I suspect my speed when I hit this puddle to have been 2.3 to 2.75 mph with a wind of 4 - 6 mph 15 degrees port. Tire temps were probably between 80 to 83 degrees F on this cool fall day.
Right now I'm struggling with a budget cap on Griot's products for what will likely be a long recovery.
Some things in life you can just cover up or rinse off or get over. I don't know here Tom. My car may be scrap status now.

Give me another week or so and I will be unveiling the Mother of All Daily Drivers. I'm just getting a few things, uh, color coordinated. That doesn't mean anything will be white.
