Re: STR: S2000 vrs MX-5 thoughts?

The weight is the fear, the MX5 will have similar enough thrust to the S2k that it appears, on paper at least, that it will be faster... I'm also not so sure the Spyder won't be as fast if not faster than an S2k. And yes, there are lots of older cars that are sleepers. The old P-cars are just the be...

Re: Tire Size

Hard to install. Many shops will refuse, some will damage the rim. Jay W So are there any other downsides, other than potential fender rubbing? Are there any seating problems or potential issues with the bead/sidewall? Tim's tire just looks...funny...like when you sit on a balloon, the moment just ...

Re: Questions about updating/backdating (SSM) Mazda Miata ladder

It's not perspective/lens trickery, the ST guys have finally figured out that Ken's car is 7/8ths and have built 6/8ths cars to try and beat him :)

Now that the forecast is now so awesomely showing good chances of rain all weekend, can anybody offer any details on the surface? I'd guess that since it's an airport, it should drain well; any chance it's grooved? Big squares of concrete. I have no idea what it'll drain like, but porta-poties and ...

Re: 2009 Wendover ProSolo

I always take the 318. Sure it's only a 2 lane highway, but it's a nice drive and not really much (if any) longer than the 95. So I assume this means that you're coming Brian? Steve, I usually get gas at the Chevron in Alamo. No problem getting a semi in there as they have separate diesel pumps with...
