So I take my brother out for his first time to drive my car in a autocross. He did great. After many laps my car decided to spring a surprise on him.

Hahaha, been there, done that, only it was in a Camaro and it went "Pa-Ting!" a couple corners before the horrible crunching started. Still hurts thinking about it.

And the weekend before Ron and Carol lost their Serpentine belt on their Z06 ... after blowing out a CAT a few weeks previous ... necessitating a class change from SS to ASP.

In case you can't read the van, it says 'JayCom Services". So guess who got to clean up the mess
. At least Theo's car had the courtesy to puke in the parking lot.

Sorry Jay. If I had it my way, it would have stayed together. The rear end had about 45k on it. I don't remember the brand, but it wasn't stock. It's been making noise for over a year, but never got any worse. I'm going from SM2 to ASP now. It will be all Z06 when I get it fixed. A&A Corvette has it right now. Hopefully in a couple of weeks it will done.
