The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

That's freakin awesome! (first) I like to buy American for everything.. except cars. Dunno why, just no domestic gives me chills like that 70's and 80's stuff from Japan.

Semi-related: My uncle was telling me once how he used to carry a baseball bat in his truck with him just in case. He said he did that until he found out that a baseball bat falls under "deadly weapons." He said, "so now I carry a hatchet!" Then, while he was driving on day, he changed lanes in front of a guy, making sure he had enough room, you know, taking care not to cut the guy off. Anyway, he pulls up the to red light and that guy pulls up to him in the lane next to him saluting him. So he reaches over, lays down the seat and while maintaining eye contact, lays his hatchet on the dash. He said that the guy quickly checked the light and became suddenly very interested in when it would turn green. (evil)
 
how many runs did you get in fiji mazda? i wasn't counting...

we aren't really a fan of autocross since it just seemed too expensive for just a few runs, but that was with the scca....you look like you got in a lot more runs

i also would think that i couldn't remember such a short course...with just cones to look at
i've only been on mid-ohio, so that's all that i'm used to...and that was only for some parade laps and on iracing...i'll have to try an autocross once with my car next year...just to see how terrible/slow i really am at driving haha

I run with BMC because it's so cheap. $30 for 11-12 runs? Sounds worth it to me. At this point, it's perfect: Low-key, no pressure to have fun and learn how to be a better driver. And it's a bunch of really good guys. Hell, one of them even let me drive his 1991 Miata!


There's auto-x that's not SCCA? Cause in SCCA, my car is going to be in a horrible class. My wheels alone put me in FSP, I think... I'm planning on doing auto-x next spring, tho. Coilovers, under body braces & a bigger rear swaybar and hopefully I'll at least not embarrass myself... I'll still probably come in dead last every week, LOL.

Yeah, this is hosted by the Buckeye Miata Club. You compete against only those who participate throughout the year. No pressure really. The Miatas are broken down into their groups while everything else is grouped together in STX. You can usually find someone to compete with. For example, for me last week, it was an 01 Prelude, an old-ass Civic and an 03 RSX TypeS.
 
Nice, is there a BMC club in Cincinnati?

I think it's based in Columbus. If you go to their site, the only events they list are in Columbus. Should try to come up for one. You can crash at my place if you want so you don't have to get up ass-early and drive up.
 
hehehe

Those look bad-ass, Chipmunk! Can't wait to see them mounted in person.
 
Do it, I know you want these vinyls on your car.

^^^^Where did you find a picture of my car at? I was saving that for the fun run, but must've accidentally uploaded a pic to my flickr account. Anyways, now that the secret is out, yeah that is my car. I let a buddy named Ken Block drive it a couple times. He does some sort of car karate stuff with it called gymkhana. I dunno....

Ummm I considered for a second finding vinyl to go on the spoiler--as long as it was easily removable (i don't know much about vinyl).....and if someone has a spare front emblem they wanna give me that will fit my Speed3, I will paint it the same lime green....
 
Aggressive fitment thread has officially been lost to herrafrush. It amazes me how ignorant some people are.
