When that runs out, the bins behind the seats can eat up what the passenger seat carries as well. After that is the unpreferred frunk or the tray under the rear window, which can each swallow maybe 2 plastic bags worth of groceries.

I stopped using a standard airplane style suitcase and started using a soft small duffel bag instead so it fits in my car.

Apart from that, I think I pulled the highest lateral g's ever yet (for me), there was this narrow bend and no stop sign, I was going like 35 in 5th, decided fuck downshifting and braking there's plenty of runoff area let's do this. Tires did not budge, I'll need to wait till the rainy season to slide it around in a parking lot a bit.

MR's aren't exactly ideal for sliding. Short wheelbase, low polar moment and all that...

I haven't driven an Mr car but apparently things happen fast at traction breakaway. Supra is actually really nice in that department.

This is long, but pretty entertaining! I know a lot of people don't like Farah, but the video is still pretty good...

That's true, although this has a longer wheelbase than a Miata by quite a bit I think. It's got barely any overhang.

Aside from my going wonky O2 sensors, I have slight suspicions about MAF/throttle being dirty (will check next time I have someplace to take shit apart in) and the filter being clogged, and I am starting to get pissed at my 1st gear which needs a perfectly rev matched double clutching to get into. The synchro is so bad that when the engine is cold and idling at 1400rpm, I can't put it into 1st super easily right after releasing clutch from neutral.

Talking about trying to keep it clean and away from idiots.

On another note, last nights USC vs STANFORD game was awesome. Go Cardinals. I swear Palo Alto has some of the nicest student bodies I've ever seen and the USC Cheerleaders Omgerd

I can't wait to hit Candlestick park tonight for the 49ers home opener. GO Niners!

"And as the blood from his hair mixed with the streaming rain down his solemn face, he pointed his middle and index fingers at Marcum like a gun. Marcum, drained of vivaciousness and drenched in anguish, guilt, and bruises sat on his trembling knees without resistance. Athene gathered destructive energies into his finger tips and asked me over the roar of the torrential rain, 'If I kill him. . .intending he learn the damage of his faults, will he learn?' I didn't answer. I couldn't remove my eyes from the battered face of 'The World's Entrepreneur.' Scanning Marcum's soaked faced, I sensed a difference between raindrops and tears. Athene looked at me with vengeance in his eyes, 'People learn from death don't they, Will?'

I stared into his glowing blue eyes-- they withheld so much fervency and rage, but mixed with fear and restraint. 'All that you'll learn from his death is that it wasn't enough, Athene.'

Marcum spat a bloody tooth into a puddle of mud beneath him and mumbled, 'Pull the trigger, Nancy.' My heart dropped-- and after a loud and explosive reaction from Athene, so did Marcum." - William B. Hendriks, Marcum Bailey, Athene H. -- White Rook III: Exodus
