You should've seen the twin-charged Mini Cooper S there.

Even an open wheeled car ran.
Dave's still got a screw loose, but at least his car doesn't.

Would have liked to have seen the twin-charged Mini.

As for open-wheel car, was it an SAE car? Both Pitt and CMU's engineering schools run their race teams up there for auto-x.

Ok.... as far as pics... I am swamped here. Maybe before I leave. I didnt' even eat lunch...

The Open wheeler, was a track car that the guy took the rear wing and nose cone off. It was set up nice. It looked like an SCCA spec racer type car. Not that it WAS one, but that's what it looked like.

I spent most of the day talking to the guy with the Mini. He's on RacePA and he was staged next to my cousin, so we BS'd most of the day. Got to hang with the WRX/STI crowd. Fun and nutty bunch of guys. All seem very cool.

Yeah, I just heard that over the radio. Stupid stupid stupid....

Why oh why would you risk that so close to training camp. You make all that money, and you do that. Don't get me wrong.... it's not like there's a law, and he's a big boy, but I wouldn't risk ruining my career just to ride a bike.

I didn't. I've seen pictures of that center piece painted and it just doesn't look right. We just painted the trim around the outside, no HVAC controls, no radio, and skipped the piece where the heated leather seats would be. (Eventually I want to cut that piece out and put a storage tray in there.

Little off topic, but I figured I would clean the car today even though she is broken.

I tried that Turtle Wax wheel cleaner Dave told me about. That **** kicks ass. It blows away the Armor All wheel cleaner I was using in comparison. Now she shiny, cept for the few bruises on the face.

I think your referring to the Valentine 1 radar detector/locator. Expensive little device, but I heard it's pretty good.
