Re: I green as a bell pepper

There are no restrictions on coolant. Some folks run water, pump lube/anti-corrosion and Water Wetter.

Re: Senna, The Movie

Opens 8/19 at the Edwards Westpark in Irvine at Alton and Culver.

Great film, which I'm going to go see again. Even Lois is interested and she's not a motorsports fan.

Re: Which Miata to get???

BTW, every Miata I looked at tonight on AutoTrader that was being sold by a dealer was overpriced compared to what NADAGuides.com says. Search was for 2002-2005s.

And to expand on that answer, the rules require a minimum number of sizes, five I think, to make a tire legal for competition, whether it's an R-comp or a street tire. Don't know about full-on slicks.

I'm totally clueless. What prompted the move in the first place. Kinda seems like if it ain't broke... Money. They were hoping it would grow to near 100 entrants. Was losing money at the current level. And the level of manufacturer support they were hoping/expecting never happened in the first two ...

Jenson's last on Lap 40 and first on the last lap. Great drive with a little luck thrown in. Vettel see...

Re: Does Anyone Have a Clean Desktop?

At work I have an all-in-one filing system in that all the paper goes in one pile.

At home, my computer desktop is quite strictly organized while every physical, horizontal space is occupied by either an electronic device or some sort of paper, paper, film or digital media.
