Wow! Takes talent to get away in a car like that! I'd think the rumble from the engine starting up would have woken half the neighborhood! ((My neighbor used to own an old GTO.)) Beautiful car. Best of luck getting it back.

So, should I take it that the mechanical engineering job market is not-so-good? It sounds like you are exactly where I plan to be in another few years. PS. What did you think of the Miami engineering school? I love the campus, but was leaning toward a bigger name school - like Purdue or Kettering.

Yes it was my first time, thanks for the compliment! Partial credit goes to my years of Gran Turismo experience! I saw you out there running hard... Clean (and quick!) mustang.

I was watching for your car as well. Did you run it today? I was in the A group, and worked corner 5 for B. That turbo BMW was insane! I got a ride... or should I say flight?

What a great way to spend my Saturday! I had an excellent instructor. My best time was a 42.4 seconds. I was really pleased with my car's (and my) performance. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v173/hot_wire/DSC00885-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v173/hot_wire/DSC00885-6.jpg

Alright, I'm really excited for tomorrow. I've got my stuff packed together already. Tomorrow's forcast looks okay. Light rain in the morning followed by partial clouds. High 67. Good thing I've got my all weather tires! Is anybody bringing an air pump? I just found out that mine lost compression over the winter

Pat, are you using Firefox? Sometimes things like the paypal part work best with Internet Explorer.

I know, I was being sarcastic. Current (GM) generation saabs just aren't that competitive in their entry level luxury sedan class. I love the looks of the old Sonetts. I actually saw one a few years back. http://www.saabway.com/Images/ContactUs.jpeg

Good plan. He'd most likely think that you had the fastest car ever ((since exhaust sound directly equates to speed)) I love how we're both wasting our time at school. Gotta love 7th period!

hahahahah yeah. Nick parks in Cooke Rd with me. His POS catback exhaust that he incessantly revs at me ruins the perfect sound of my new speakers

Oh, I know all about the turbo. He's pulling it from a mercedes truck and then it will bolt directly on with no other modifications. He's buying the turbo this week Yea Belv and Vikram... you know them? I think belv's actually got an acct on here.

Looks like points registration is still open. Click here: http://www.dlbracing.com/default.aspx? I've got other plans Sunday, but I may still show up to watch an hour in the late afternoon.

Haha I've been trying to convince anthony (heelside) to come play. I don't know if he's comfortable in his new DSM yet though. Marc Reidel (the SHO kid) says he wants to join us--I'm not sure whats holding him back. Anthony, one of my buddies in a riceburning civic, will most likely come for a few rides with me throughout the year. Another kid in a black 07 Civic SI may show up with me sometime. I agree that we need more watty guys in the autox! Spread the word!

I'll be there! This could possibly be the first time that a Saab has been run through an autocross style event. History is in the making here, people!

Very nice. I saw your car parked on the way out - very clean S2000! Look forward to seeing you run later in the season.

I was really busy today, but I managed to make it out for a bit. I was there about noon getting paperwork straight with the officials and talking to some drivers. I saw a mr2 out there. Pat, was that you? The car looked blacker than yours. I'm more than pumped about Saturday. We'll see if I can make it to points.

Wow. Just saw the video of that supra. The car sounds amazing. I'm speechless. Only hope that I can catch a glimpse of it around town sometime.

+1 this stuff is the best.

Good news for me! I'm too busy this weekend to go. I'll be able to make it since it's rescheduled!

Can't help ya with the tires, but I'll still put a plug in for NTB. They take great care of me there. Usually, NTB will match tirerack's price for the tires and install them for very little. If you need an alignment, check quotes at other shops- my NTB matches those prices too. If you ever need a plug/patch for a nail, they will do the job for free (IF you bought the tires from them). Rotations are free as well, but they usually take about an hour. NTB FTW!

My check engine light just flipped own. We'll see if my mass air flow sensor can get here before the weekend! Where do you guys pick up the magnetic lettering? Do you just cut it from sheets? PS. Iron pony has some great closeouts on helmets. I got a $200 Bell for $99!!!

You're right.

My tires picked up another nail today. This sucker was a huge one! Marks the 4th patch job in a set of tires that I've only put 6,000 miles on. Does my tread design actually attract and eat nails? Roofers suck. Discuss.

haha yea four of us in one thread! ohh noes!

Yeah, I'm a junior this year. You're a senior? How does the mr2 do at the autocross?
