Every time I get in it is just about the most fun. I realize just how awesome this little car is compared to what else I could be driving for the money. It makes me smile, and I'd rather go for a drive in the car than a ride on the motorbike.

Just the dash? Sounds like someone's built up a bit of tolerance there...(he said, as he pulled one through).

u would rather drive on gravel?
my favorite road to drive on is being redone and its all gravel right now... i would not take my car there, i cannot wait till its fresh and smooth tho

ive never turned off all the nannies before, i need to take time to go to a empty parking lot someday
one time it was wet outside and it was the first time the back end went loose... my heart skipped a beat LOL i did not expect that turning and going about 10 mph or so
this is not my first RWD car... my last one had wider tires and they gripped

But there was just something exciting about going around a blind curve, on a gravel road, with no guard rails, no berm, at 14,000 ft, in a open topped sports car .... and taking a picture at the same time ..... that I found ..... exciting .....

mrs humfrz ..... not so much......

humfrz - back in the day ....

My first track day in the 86. It was so fun chasing other cars and whipping out the back end. At the end of the day I didn't want to leave haha.

Thanks. Looks different from a bike I guess.
Only been up there a few times since it's a bit farther away and it's a destination, not a through road.
