Do it. 

Now playing

I’ve driven a modern superbike motorcycle engine powered MR2 on the track for several 2-hr stints and lemme tell ya...it was insane. Gloriously insane. I’m still slightly deaf. 200ish horsepower in a 24 Hrs of LeMons race doesn’t sound like much these days..but the low weight and driving experience of the sequential

Jay’s car is one wicked ride...so wicked that I wrote it up a few days ago.

Whoops. I’m not good at following directions.

I love the X1/9 graphics on the side. So 80s.
