At what point do you just move to Italy? Or change jobs?

I had to double check because I only noticed the last blue on first glance. 

The jury decided on 10 years, not the judge. 

Ages ago? I thought you only had the thing for a week?

I finally saw a new Mazda3 out in the wild earlier this week. Hatckback, red, and AWD. 

Reminds me, my owners manual says I don’t have to change the diff fluid unless it gets covered in water. What’s the consensus on not/changing it? For what it’s worth, it’s my daily and autocross car. 

What do you do? Go to a different town to properly dispose? Say fuck it and dump it on the ground? Build up massive stores of used fluids?

I’m ashamed to say I’ve parked too close to the curb on multiple occasions in an effort to create more space between myself and the next car which had the unfortunate effect of getting curb rash on my wheels. No dings though. 

I’d prefer the car crumple and break before I do, but you do you.

That’s a fair criticism, it’s not for everyone. Though I do wonder, is that all you get with your local club or just being hyperbolic. I think local SCCA only gives you 4 runs. I don’t run with them anymore. The other 3 clubs give you at least 6, not that it sounds much better to someone like you lol. 

Oh I agree. But like I said, this way I get a year-round hobby relatively cheap. 

I’ve done a couple of HPDEs a couple of years ago and I loved it but dropping that much money per weekend is hard to stomach. Still hoping to talk myself into getting back out and doing at least one, maybe 2 HPDE events per year.

Do your events not allow course walks beforehand? A few events under your belt and you can read the course pretty easily. 

A friend has previously given me crap for autocrossing rather than doing HPDE because of the seat time involved in each and while I agree that $/seat time is heavily in HPDE’s favor, I can autocross pretty much every single weekend, sometimes twice a weekend, for a full season for the cost of 2 HPDE weekends, hotel,…

I have a Miata as my only car (wife has a 4 door though) so I’m right there with you. I’m sure other countries will get the 3 door, highly unlikely the US gets it. Hope I’m wrong.

Do you really think there’s going to be a 3 door Bronco?

Is it actually people picking out the accessories or is the dealership adding the accessories and selling them like that?

Bummer. You can always buy the new parts and DIY

Google the Mazda All in One Tool, I got AA in my 2016 ND that way without paying for the upgrade. 

They just started expanding to DFW, checked them out because I was curious but didn’t carry my usual tires when I they first came by. I’ll check them again once it’s actually time for new rubber.
