No I’m saying analog isn’t as accurate as digital when your BMW tires are 0.3 psi off.  Maybe I’ve been here too long 

I never thought I could lust after a tool but that’s just sexy. Thanks for the wishlist addition!

Had one mid race. Heard a strange vibration, figured it was a wheel bearing. Finished the 15 mile stage taking it easy-ish. On the next short stage, I noticed I was getting crazy pad knockback and hopped out afterwards to discover all the nuts finger loose. I zipped them with the impact and drove on to win my class :)

Gonna be honest, that made me re-check a track near me that I was sure was pretty expensive to do anything at, and I saw that they have a couple less expensive days that I may try to attend.

I just need a helmet now...

<You can find parts from a lot of cars at Blackhawk. lol>

You’re arguing with Aught, a professional street racer with absolutely ‘l33t skills...

And a bonus - you can find parts of my engine near Turn 4 at Blackhawk.

“being on track doesn’t give the same thrill”

When I lived in the Pacific Northwest I ran a couple of rallycross events and they were really welcoming. They even had loaner helmets. I showed up with about the most inappropriate vehicle possible (a diesel station wagon) and everyone thought that was pretty cool. I had a blast.

Totally. Or even SCCA events, which are in a lot more areas and let you really see what your car can do— but in a controlled environment without oncoming traffic or pedestrians… Closest track day to here is 4 hours, so we’ve never tried one of those though it would be fun! Closest SCCA event? Anywhere from 15 minutes…

the worst are the ones who say that being on track doesn’t give the same thrill.

Seems like every other week or so I get at least one person wanting to race me at a stop light or on the freeway. I drive a BRZ. My car is slow as fuck. They are either looking for an easy laugh if I was stupid enough to try or dumber than nails (or perhaps both I guess?).

You can’t blame Lewis for this. Every British person knows that if a piece of dirt never had a Union Jack on it, it must be unexplored.

2016 Cayman GTS, right in the budget.

No, there is not a practical necessity. Yes, it’s for revenue. For one, all the illegal, unmanned “red light” cameras would have a harder time sending speeding tickets without the ability to photograph a front plate.

Dude, it you think wage caps for executives are a good idea, you ain’t the middle.

Came here to say that. Lol

I’m planning a trip to Europe to buy a castle or two right now!

Sobble is the best name for a Starter ever. I wuv the little dude already.
