Any chance this is going to get posted somewhere? I couldn't make the school, but I'd love to see the video.

Re: Help with BMW weird trans behavior

Dumb question for you Theo...are you pulling the shifter too far over to the left? It's fairly easy when you're trying to snap a quick 3-2 downshift, while the car is turning to the right, to hang on to the shift lever a little and pull it past the detent all the way over to where reverse is. Unfor...

Re: Best Handling Car in America, per C&D

The Boxster never lost the top, it was the Cayman that gained one. The car was designed as a roadster. I had 2 Boxsters and they drove nicely, they are cheap too. The Boxster Spyder is a different animal, it has a lower and plenty stiffer suspension, and it is lighter, it is a fine car but not prac...

Re: S2K CR - RIP :(

Faster on R compounds always equals more fun. Fixed that for ya Max! I'm barely slower than BS, and I'm on street tires. So, I have a better/stiffer suspension, but less grip overall. Is it more fun to wallow around on sticky tires, or have a stiff, precise car that you have to drive on a fine edge...

Re: Divisional Videos

So did the protest concern a rerun because of an "out of position" cone that was upright and still clearly in the box, but rotated 45 degrees? If so, we're getting into some real gray areas. Say a cone was still legal, but only one tiny corner of the base was touching the chalk line, but ...

Re: FIFA World Cup

But seriously, having played, I know that some of those contacts can be very painful and when you are in the right and the other player was too aggressive, it's a way to call the refs attention. Granted I've seen some shameful display where there wasn't even any contact and the player grabbed his l...

Make sure you don't overinflate your blond with big boobs...even on your birthday, the adult store won't take her back.

Happy Birthday Max! ;)

Re: Sept 27 thanks...

Thanks also to Brian Peters who, although was just in town to sell his car to Karen, spent the weekend as a roving Evo instructor to many people, without charging a penny. Someone should persuade him that Arizona is full of weird desert people like Doug Rowse and Dave Webb, and he should relocate h...

OC to Fontana pickup/delivery help

Any chance that some wonderful person from Orange County could do us a huge favor and pick up a couple race seats and bring them to the event in Fontana Saturday or Sunday? The seats are in Santa Anna.
