figuring out when she'll get another car. i'm pushing towards a mini so i can autocross it
Great to hear. It is actually hard to get my friends to go auto-x'ing. They don't want to scratch the paint.

So Karlton, where's the video?

Also, I don't think you need an excuse to get a widebody...how else are you going to fit 315's under the car.

As for my runs, 1st run, I went off-course. 2nd run, spun in the slalom. 3rd run, clean 37.9xx. 4th run, messed up in the back and should've stopped for the down cone after the lights, but didn't feel like it. I'm not used to having 4 runs ha ha.

Hahah the video's coming. I still have to edit it and upload it. Course workers went out there and said the skidmarks ended up really close to the fence hahah. Dude I don't need a widebody to fit the 315s! So what if I won't be able to turn my steering wheel and the tires will stick out like a foot lol!

Piggy glad she liked it! Definitely push for a mini s hahah great for a dd!

Great seeing everyone out there this past weekend, it was a fun course, even with the lack of traction in the back stretch. =D

Rob, thanks for the pictures!
