Okay, I will pick up the chalk dust, Les confirm that you got this so we both don't end up bringing it.

Looks like it was the pinion gear in the 240, not the transmission, so I don't think it's going to make it.

Not sure if Charles will bring The Elephant or if we're going to 3-way the Miata. We shall see.

Shoot, Miata love three ways, four ways, and maybe even eight ways. That's what they are made for. :D

I have to cancel for tomorrow... misplaced my lock nut key so went to Brandon Honda to get them off and they buggered up one of my studs - car comes back with nut missing - I inquire, they bring me one, start to thread it by hand and it is going in crooked - can't put it on without risk of badly cross threading it, if I an put it on at all.
...

@#$%^&*!

They pretty much washed their hands off and left me to my own devices... SOOOOOOO steamed up right now...

Brandon Honda, huh? Noted.

If you can find your way to the event, I'm sure we can find a car or three for you to drive. We're cool like that.

Or, if you can get it fixed in the morning, you can switch to the Late session, just be there by 12:30.

I am probably going to no show. Sorry. Not sure about Charles and Jason. Miata is down now too.

Just show up. Have some fun.

I hit something really big and really sharp on 301 in Riverview tonight and it demolished one of my tires.

I could run on my old Kumho 205 street tires but I think that would be more frustrating than fun.

My plan is to call around in the morning and see if anyone has Z2 Star Specs they can install for me before 11am... If that happens, I'll be there.

If not maybe I'll see if someone else has an M2 car they'll let me drive? I dunno.

I'm going to bed, y'all. 5am comes very early for someone who usually doesn't go to bed before 2am.

Maybe I'll show up even if I can't get tires. It's not like I'm doing anything else tomorrow. Maybe I can steal the keys to someone's car.
