I wish I could say the same. During practice, I must have been pushing it a little too hard. I spun out twice and spun off track once. It's a good thing the ground was wet because I sunk into it, I would have skidded across the grass and hit the wall otherwise. I ended up doing a lot of throttle feathering during my timed runs in fear of my tires completely breaking loose, it was rather disappointing. I'm looking forward to seeing how well the NT05's will hold up.

I see, if it helps with your decision, the driving school is $210 iirc.

Edit: scratch that, it's $295

Greg, you jog? I thought your knees were shot.

Par, want to do some stitching on my shift **** cover?

Nick, that's a pretty good deal. I need to buff out the haze on my van. It looks like crap. In fact, the van needs to go into the body shop to fix some rust issues. I'll need to rent a car.
They are but it's something I enjoy no matter how much pain I'm in.... Besides.... Pain is weakness leaving the body..... (lol old coach saying from HS)

SOME OF US DONT EVER PLAN ON GETTING RID OF THE Z, hence the investment ideology.

I used to tell myself that pain was a reality check, then I'd laugh through the pain.

Senior Speedy, I think you met Asian-American Tommy's brother in law, as I don't have one. I've met him several times at auto-x events and around Eagan. One of my sisters and my sister-in-law both live with boyfriends, so unless it was a psuedo in-law, it wasn't me (Irish-American Tommy.) His Z is black as well so I can understand the confusion.

I still don't know the name of the guy who lives the next block over with the black Z. He's already driving his. Looks good with green wheels.

Yeah the road course certainly looks like the most fun. Maybe I can get an lsd for a good price before all of this goes down.

Sooo.... kind of embarrassing but whatever. I was getting ready to grill some steaks and was prepping the grill for the first time since last Fall. The main cylinder valve was stuck, so I thought it was just being stubborn. After a few attempts at twisting it open, I think I broke the valve since a couple of brass ring pieces fell out. Oops. I was really looking forward to a grilled dinner, too.

Yeah they are having some issues with belt slippage so they have to figure out a different pulley layout, then try to tune again. The tune also was taking forever because the piggyback I have kinda sucks I guess.
