My office is one of the warmest places in the building. I can't wear anything other than a collared t-shirt, otherwise I'm sweating like a pig.

I mean, I already talked to him. But I feel like there are a few vultures circling...

So I have a Miata to install a bunch of stuff on and tune. He wants me to drive it and report back on various things/parts.

So I decide yesterday that I'd drive it to work today.
Of course it's storming like crazy. And of course car is on 949racing Xida suspension, with a Wilwood BBK, and R-Comp tires.

*challenge accepted*

What really shocked me though, is this thing is absolutely amazing. Glued to the road. Did not have a single time when it felt sketchy or out of control. Seriously impressed

More like somebody at the State wanted an easy way to upload images to the internet.

Spent the last 2 hours running around dealing with printers. We got a new MFP which apparently needs 2 IP addresses that are also next to each other. The joy of running around and making network changes on the fly. Then to troubleshoot said network issues and then finally to make the changes to the server so everybody can keep printing and the only they notice is a different printer.

Interesting, I've read they are sketchy as hell in anything but the dry.

Yeah I have no idea, I'm no tire expert, all I know is this thing is like on rails, which is drastically different from a typical Miata on rcomps in the wet, as I'm sure you know

The last one that I tuned was on Hankook RS3's and my butt hurt from the constant puckering cause it was on ice-skates under 80F

Now granted it was turbo'd, but that was in the dry. It would get sideways at 70 no problem at full throttle.

Yeah my RE-11A's are sketchy in the wet below 55 degrees, so maybe the xidias really are that epic!
