Its Formula 1 team is also very middling.

As stupid as this parking lot circuit is when there are fantastic tracks available in the US that could be brought up to FIA grade 1 with modest investment...I’d much rather go to this than COTA where I’d be supporting the regime in Texas that is oppressing women.

If the market wasn’t so screwy I’d say lease a GTI lol. 

I would do like a 6,500 mile change on my GTI vs the 10k factory recommends. I say would because I don’t drive it that much so it gets the 1 year change.

My Miata oil I change every other trackday so that’s like...1000 miles.

The Homeless Despot will drop that shit off at your door. 

It also depends on your vehicle and how much power it has. And in electric vehicles it absolutely kills the range. 

Rear sway bar will increase oversteer. If that’s your goal and the car has been overly biased toward understeer that’s fine.

Lots of RWD auto-crossers in various cars actually delete the rear bar because it decreases rear grip in the tight transition-y stuff they do.

I’m 5'11" and fit in my NA fine both with the stock seat and with my racing seat that actually makes things more cramped. ND is downright comfy. The ND seat rails are slanted and designed that way for a reason. Depending on your proportions you might need to actually slide the seat FORWARD, which raises it, to get

Too bad policy is meant to serve people not empty land. 

The biggest issue these have for me is how good the ND2 Miata is. I don’t know that they’ve cleared that benchmark. 

WIND POWER TRIES TO KILL TEXANS.

Go back to Spa at the end of the calendar and give right of first refusal on tickets and free admission to the people that came Sunday.

Someone really needs to report this to CARB. 

Exactly. If I wanted money more than I wanted a car I wouldn’t have traded my money for car in the first place!

I mean, in my 30s expensive German appliances sound niiiice.

My current theory is the older you get the more attractive Porsches become. Like the better they look. In my 20s I couldn’t understand why anyone would buy a new 911. Now I’m like...ooh, that’s nice.

I’m not a Jeep guy and even I know that thumbnail is a JK Wrangler which isn’t on sale today.

I feel like this thing would make a great trackday hauler. 5,000 lb towing can do a trailer and a Miata easily, plus you can load all your supplies in the bed. 

I don’t get this internet trend of people insisting on using weird sprays and WD40 to clean things when there are lots of great cleaning products out there perfectly optimized to very specific functions. 

I mean, I’m not a Tesla fanboy by any means. I think its stupid that they charged so much for FSD.

That said...it sounds like this only applies to the people who didn’t check the box for FSD when configuring their cars. In that case I don’t really see the issue.
