Crap-tastic parts are quite plentiful. Good stuff comes from 1 of 2 places.
Apparently it's the springs that they are waiting on and they are matched to the shocks and struts. Backorder date has been pushed back twice now. :bangwall:

Steve? Anybody? Something I can drive in M2? :whine:
More than welcome to drive my car, give me some instruction too ! I'm not in M2, but so what ? There's 2 or 3 events dropped for points, so it shouldn't matter.

Just tried to call you btw......

Drew can drive your M3 car in M2 for points, no drops required. Not a problem.

You can drive my '86 S3 Vert in M2 but I won't get there until Noon:) Admit it .... you're hooked on Steve's way cool ride AND it's a Miata "old school". Poor Drew. Lost in space. Danger Will Robinson. What is M2 ANYHOW? Oh, it's only any S2 with lowering springs!! DOH. :bangwall:

Just talked to Drew, he wants to drive the minivan instead of my car, he seemed serious.

Jeremy, are you sure it's ok, because I am kind of surprised that you have family that still talks to you.
But, whatever, tell your mom I'm totally going to rock her mininvan.
She'll be telling all her bingo cohorts "Suck it! My minivan's a race car, bitches!"
So, tell her to empty all of her old lady junk out of it.
Can you make sure the tire pressures are cranked up, or should I bring a compressor?
Try to get her to have the gas tank no more than 1/4 full.
Thanks!
Loren, can you move my entry to the afternoon, or should I re-enter?

I already ordered this custom made t-shirt:

Drew, it sounds like you've got a few options.
LMK if they don't work out. I'm in the morning session, and won't be staying the entire day.

Holy cones, Batman. No time to catch a nap or check the gauges on this one. The Boy will be doing his first event - hopefully not scarred forever :-)

Anyone else a fan of early Picasso? :thumbwink:

Of course I had to flip it but I knew I saw that somewhere before.

Good job Steve. Autocross gets some culture.

That is AWESOME !!
Racing against my NEON is like getting in a fight with a girl, if you win you, you can't brag about it, and if you lose, you hope nobody finds out!
