I wear rally shirts at other rallys to show my diversity. I wear sponsor shirts when actually racing. I wear a tasteful Ferrari shirt that has only a silver prancing horse on it underneath a sports coat. I wear an older Subaru "team T-shit" that has only a small Subuaru spelled out on it at the neckline.

I've kept the same records for my STi since it was new, going on 5 years now. Nothing wrong with that. Going to be even more interesting in 50 years when I kick the bucket and my grandsons get to hoon the car in vintage races.

definitely not as green as the "do nothing" alternative of staying in California. How green is that building compared to how it was as a field. Also how green is the now vacant former Nissan complex in Cali?

Integra Type R

Cayman S

Lexus called and wanted the back end of all their unsold IS300 Sportcross' returned.

Some big comfy motorhome like above and a comfy enclosed trailer for the rally car. Not too far out of the question since a mortgage can be had on motorohomes that have a bathroom and bedroom. Living in SoCal, storage for a setup like that would be the most expensive thing.

Desert Storm Rally is that weekend, I'll be driving. Jalopnik should send Murilee out with me, I could use another competent crew member to stand around all day in case I break something.

On a more real life personal note New York Rallyist Randy Zimmer is my automotive mentor/hero. None of you have ever heard of Randy before but he is the reigning king of north american rallying on a budget. He councelled me through autocross, up to rallycross and now he is encouraging me long distance on real stage…

using a plasma cutter would be like swatting flies with a wrecking ball. Aviation snips or if you are that high falutin' a laser cutter would be appropriate.

FYI, this was the lineup at the Autosport show this past weekend. Would you rather have seen these guys or Dr.Z getting propositioned by Kim Cattrell?!

Racing. Any sort of racing is better than looking at cars standing still, especially cars that will likely never be put into production. You should forgo all of the other auto shows and just go to the AutoSport International show in the UK next year. Now THAT would be interesting to get a sneak peek into the next…

While Paris-Dakar has been cancelled, the BUdapest-Bamako rally is ready to kick off in two days and follows sort of a similar route. This rally was brought to pass because Dakar had gotten sooo high end and expensive to run that the originators of Budapest-Bamako wanted to get back to the roots of the event and make…

I love my STI, of course, what's not to love!?!?!

@biminitwst: Red Green is a Jalopnik folk hero waiting to happen. Too many of us south of the border have not been proper exposed to Red and the rest of the Possum Lodge crew. Same goes for Don Cherry and his suits.

it's pronounced "bro-HAM"

I understand completely but I take the rare opportunity of low grip levels in SoCal to enjoy the hoonage that I relished so much when living 12 years in Buffalo winters. Four wheel drifts and breaking traction on four tires at one time when banging second gear is hoongasmic on slick almost deserted SoCal streets. Of…

@ash78: My DayQuil addled brain is on the same wavelength as you this morning. I wish my car had any dial that went to 12. From now on I will require my rally car to have dials that go to 13 just because I can :D

A few years back when I first started hearing the phrase "Emo kid" I wondered why everyone was talking about the Fittipaldi children.

Manual, 6 speed dogbox in a rallycar. No clutching required to shift, thank you very much.
