Maybe someday. That'll occur naturally in just over a decade, with less need for extra seats. Else, with falling prices on, for example: Solstice GXPs, I'd need a place to store an extra car.
For now, it's two tons of fun for autocross runs.
So with your signature of three groceries do you get a discount anywhere for lunch or snacks?

Tim's avatar is an old vette. Of course. No one can actually afford a new one.

One day I'll have him co-drive mine:) Less clawing and grabbing and more pushing and shoving on 240 rain tires not 200 slicks.

Maybe I'll let he and Loren duke it out instead at a Classic? FWD (no juice leg lifter) vs AWD (turbo torque).

Has anyone else noticed that someone never lets anyone else co-drive their trick mustang? :rolling:

Maybe Loren and Ben will co-drive an older Ford next event?

I was actually thinking that would be kinda fun. "We recommend that you try a heavier grade of oil and shorten oil change interval to 20 seconds."

Noobs need to watch Joe's video and consider that it's a helmet cam. It's showing exactly where the DRIVER is looking. Good indication of how far ahead he is looking.

I hope you don't change cars too soon, I love watching the big cars swing between the cones.
