TIL (well actually yesterday) that old forums that I used to belong to before they went “pay only” still have me listed as a member. So, their web bots still send me “Happy Birthday Wishes” every year. I used to belong to/was active in a lot of car and motorcycle forums…

Over here, try explaining to non-car people what an FRS is. "It's a car with 3 names, and no, it's not all wheel drive even though it is mostly a Subaru." Then, try to explain HPDE. When my wife politely asks what I'm doing in the garage, I say I'm doing blah blah blah to "the black car". She let's me finish, and then goes back to her Hallmark movie.

Do what I do. I don't talk to people.

And "I'm busy" usually works with the wife after a time or too. She really doesn't want to know.....

Sorry, what's a FRS?

Yeah, I get the usual.. is it 4WD and that's how far the conversation goes... There was a time when its twin was getting the limelight via UK Top Gear as they used it on the track for 'famous' guests..
