lol I don't remember you being so defensive about it last time, if I did I wouldn't have said anything.

I think this car will take abuse much better than your Mitsubishi's did (yes, I mean the Talon too), you constantly post about how impressed you are with the civility and readiness this car performs at. Maybe don't be so quick to toss this thing in the garbage at 3 years? Maybe go out and drive it at 10/10ths and get a couple powerslides in at an HPDE before selling it? Just a suggestion.

Edit: I won't bring it up for another 3-4 months now, I promise.



Your post about it not being an 'off the shelf racecar' and the various responses to it is a good basis for viewing this car because it also explains why so many are turned off by it (like the OP moving to an Si).

Well owning a firearm and never firing it is kind of the opposite end of the same spectrum and most people would agree just as much missing the point.
