Bwaaa hah hah hah, more press
So there I am perusing the latest issue of Grassroots Motorsports and gollygee, on the last page where they put their "your cars" section, and there's a short article on my silly cars. I got an email from them months ago wanting some info on 'em and I wrote back and kinda forgot all about it but there they is!

"There's a hierarchy of insanity in motor sports. Normal people think all racers are crazy. Folks who race sedans think people in open-wheel cars are nuts. People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."

post articeI live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

Here it is, sorta. I think it's pretty funny, they asked for some quick info and I sortakinda copied from posts I've made here earlier, and they just sortakinda copied my email onto the page. They got it wrong where they said mazda never offered the protege as awd stateside though!Attached FilesLast edited by jay; 11-23-2009, 10:53 AM.'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and

I like how it says the AWD wasn't available stateside...or did he mean the turbo model?
