Whole-heartedly agree.

People thrashing someone else’s car without their expressed permission sucks but you can’t rent a sports car out expecting people to baby it. 

So now instead of people assuming they were crooked morons, we can safely say they are crooked morons who didn’t want to lose their vacation teat.

Until moose goes on a rampage and becomes murder moose.

Think of it in terms of ice skating. You have figure skating with judging and then you have speed skating. 

Was in the saltwater aquarium hobby for a number of years and this was always a fear. The m. marinum bacteria is somewhat prevalent in warm saltwater aquariums. When doing maintenance and such, you always had to make sure you either had very long gloves or confidence you had no cuts. Even then, you still had to wash…

Save for any ugly surprises from a compression check, this is a reasonable price in the S2000 market. Low owner count, most VIN tags, top in good shape...all big positives for an S2000.

Kia Soul tried to get into heaven. Was denied.

It’s not meant to be a cost-effective solution to owning an NSX from a restoration standpoint. There is something wholesome about reviving a vehicle that most sane people would ever have the guts (or money) to attempt.

SCCA solo auto-x has been around a loooong time. Not all were in an official capacity sanctioned by the SCCA. And congrats on your nod, as well :)

Or roads....shortly thereafter.

Heeeeyyy...I made one.

Get into autocross as early as possible. Learning vehicle recovery, quick reflexes and calm thinking in hectic environments does wonders for your ability to avoid the chaos that is driving in public.

Handheld broiler is my favorite tool. 

There is a reason this show is great at bringing in new F1 viewers and it’s not because it’s a 1:1 accurate representation of an F1 season. They take liberties with rumors, elaborate when it suits the story and take things out of context to make it spicy. 

BaT has Mazdaspeed Miatas semi-regularly and they don’t go for stupid money. I owned one for a time. It wasn’t the greatest for autox thanks to the extremely short gearing for the 6sp. You were constantly shifting up or down between 2nd and 3rd...some of the courses I saw with longer stretches would see 4th(!).
