Glitter or not, I don't want to touch it again until Overzet has a full year to tinker with it. Involved up to my neck for three races, peripherally involved for three others... I had enough K-car in 2013 to last me a while. Phil did a good job of summarizing the epic tale.

No death for that Z yet. They've run it in a bunch of races and have gotten overall wins several times. Good bunch of drivers and a great example of pit-stop teamwork. (We borrowed one of their drivers for Road America in 2012 and learned some tips.)

Good points, especially your comment to "never stop recruiting." We've been racing crapcans since 2008 and, like you said, changes happen. Some times it's family stuff, sometimes job, and sometimes it's the lure of other racing: some of our 2008-2009 teammates stopped doing crapcan enduros to go back to NASA, SCCA…

I drove the Cordia in its debut weekend at CMP back in 2012.

I agree with you, it has nothing to do with generation and everything to do with where one is in life. I love cars and always have, but back when I was scratching by on very little income in my 20s, you betcha that my cars weren't being maintained according to manufacturers' recommendations.

In that case, the "Hop onto an existing team" idea that Stef mentioned is what you need... well, that and some airfare funds. Visit the Lemons forum and say hi. Keep an eye on the "Human Resources" section for teams that are looking for drivers for an event you can fly to without killing your budget. That's how I…

Chrysler took quite a gamble with the Airflow, changing so many things at once. Steel construction, unibody, radical adjustment of packaging to change weight distribution, and (of course) the visual distinctiveness.

Mike took it back to California and ran it again in at least one 2013 race. I haven't heard if he'll be running it again this year but I'd assume so.

I suppose all future center console sizing will be determined by the quantity of cupholders desired, and whether they're intended to be Big Gulp-compatible.

I agree— I went to Petit LM at Road Atlanta in 2010 and felt it was one of the best US motorsports events I'd ever attended.

Picchio, you said "There's been a number of coronary event deaths..."

I also immediately thought of the Griffith, but of the earlier 1960s version.

Talk about burying the best part— I was pretty much tuned out after reading all the complaints from people whose brains had been hurt by bad words or thinking about genitals, so I almost missed the INSANE CONSPIRACY NUT theory at the end. Oh please, someone find the cable-access TV show this person almost certainly…

Definitely Checker. Seemed to be put together with less care than a Happy Meal, but they have much more awesomeness even after they are no longer cabs.

Ford and Volvo actually did some research on that a while ago— a 3-point belt as we're (now) used to, plus a second diagonal shoulder belt. Once fastened the shoulder belts made a big X across your chest. I guess those ideas got back-burnered in favor of more and improved air bags.

Yeah, I also fear that adding NASCAR stuff to NBC's portfolio will crowd out the non-NASCAR things I'm actually interested in.

Oops, that's what happens when the phone rings in the midst of typing my reply.
