I have one as well. I am sort of amazed that there are 3 of us on this forum that know what one is much less how to actually use it.

Quickly popping in, can't scroll thru notification still at hotel for 2nd autox am session in a few hours.

Did the pedal dance. Shaved 10 seconds off my timed runs after 6 rounds. Never realized how violent TC/vsc cuts into the car -____-

I let a few instructors drive my car. They said it felt weird driving an auto but THEY FREAKIN LOVED IT!!! Mind you, these are old timers who are MT guys thru and thru

Anyone have recommendations for fairly cheap, reliable, easy to maintain car that doesn't feel like a soul sucking lifeless machine every time you drive it?
<$15k, 2 or 4 doors is fine but needs a backseat.
Was looking at some TSX and TLs.
