I don't need multiple cars. Just two. (lol2) My mind keeps telling me that it's time for something new. Plus, my wife hates my car, so that is always bouncing around in my head.

Why does your wife hate your car, Nick?

 

[frenchy chan]

why not multiple cars?? what happens if one breaks when you are autocrossing, etc?

so i'm in a different room at work now that has internet, so i fear i'll be on here far too much... at least i'll stay up to date with everything!

Because it's loud and stiff. Kind of like me, actually.

I freaking love 4lo. I'd say the amount of excitement and enjoyment I get out of using it is equivalent to a turbo. For the guys that DD turbo cars, I know, big whoop, but my life revolves around procuring rides in boosted cars, lol.

This pic doesn't do it justice at all. The front drivers wheel was buried perpendicular in a rut, and it was up to the hub in depth, and you can see where the mud came up on the wheel face. The stupid open dif in 2hi wouldn't push or pull it out of the rut, so my buddy and I got out, locked the hubs, put it in 4lo and it flew out no problem. Later climbed a 8-10ft hill covered in at least a foot of loose sand in 4hi. Tonight was a good night.

Was about to order my TWM shifter and knob tonight, but I realized they have a student discount for 5% off. Have to say, that's a pretty sweet option. I'll be waiting for the email tomorrow and will hopefully order then.

[Lewis7789]

If it's not raining I'll probably come down and watch too.

 

[frenchy chan]

[Perro del Sol]

120 tickets sold so far for the Mid-Ohio Corral, we may end up with 135-140 total by next Wednesday!!!!

 

[rally2003]

I was probably #120

 

[Lewis7789]

Rachelle, we need tickets? Ohhhhh, I thought it was like every NASA thang when we just get to show up and hang out and watch. I'll have to check out NASA's site and see how much they are.

Can't you just get the Marlon discount? I'm sure that may do you better.

I'm running in TTD. Still have to get a few things straightened out on the car. Another hectic day tomorrow.

Sorry, I don't know what the gate fee is for spectators.
