Re: Lip stick on a pig?

looks like a fun toy.. although $40k is a pipe dream. a different accent color than white would go a long way. Bro, I've invested over 6 figures. Buyer's gain, my loss. /s One thing I’ve learned is hobby cars and “investments” don’t mix. It’s like gambling to get rich. You hear stories, but it’s re...

Re: Corvette headlight rebuild...

This topic made me laugh but now I’m also worried about the headlights on my 91 ZR-1 and my IMS bearing in my 996..... I will have to drive my Miata more. Miata! Don't read DT's racing post. You will be taking the bus. I’m going to have to get rid of my ZR-1 and 996 and get a new ND Miata.....

Re: So what's the point of yet another 996 site?

I do enjoy a good side show now and again. Removing humor from the car hobby ruins it for me.

Re: Racetrack Stuff

Looks like a blast. I’m total hack so it’s impossible for me to advise. I will say as smooth as you are you probably won’t get much faster. The only corners that may have been problematic were the 3 slowest. Getting out of them quick in a momentum car is hard. In pure conjecture I think you may be ...

Re: Racetrack Stuff

Going back and forth between giving gnat the standard student ride along vs the one where he's convinced he's gonna die for 98% of the time. Maybe I'll post a poll and let the forum decide. Always the near death ride. I will never forget my first one..... thanks dad. Dad was once upon a time a TX S...

Re: Racetrack Stuff

Ok, a couple videos, first one of a full lap. Tell me what you think I can improve. Looking for feedback. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czKxDA3RL-Q This one is just fun. The Ferrari is probably a $350,000+ car? Sharing the uphill esses with a $5,000 car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJu1DTDW5V...

Re: Racetrack Stuff

Some dingus on a Miata forum just literally said a race school doesn't teach you about how your drive a car on a racetrack and now I'm googling how to delete someone else's internet posts so I don't get banned from there for threats of violence. If you went 996 great day thread mode on the pointy h...

Re: Racetrack Stuff

That's pretty sweet. Going Miata for a track car was the best track related financial decision I ever made. I can't imagine how deep I'd be if I was running something expensive at the track. In calendar year 2017 my tire expenses were $0.00. Bought a new set in late 2016 and finally destroyed those...

If you physically replace them yourself, it’s definitely yours. Now if you pay someone else to do it, is it theirs?
