    Who wants a taste of rally?

    Groupon talked Dirtfish Rally school into doing a half off promotion. I'm in, if for no other reason than to see what a real properly prepared rallycar does compared to mine. Maybe they'll be able to teach me something while they're at it. go to groupon and check it out before the deal expires or it sells out, which could happen pretty much now...
    '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
    '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

    It looks like a lot of fun. It's too short of notice though. No extra cash right now.

        Before you criticize someone, first try walking a mile in their shoes. Because then you'll be a mile away, and you'll have their shoes...

          "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."

            My pal Derek bought into this, we're gonna coordinate the day to add to the mayhem. He hasn't rallied since '06 when he and his Golf had a difference of opinion as to whether to stay on the road or not.
            It'd be nice if I could bring my car, assuming it ever gets finished, and do some real comparing with their stuff back to back. I might hafta ask 'em about it.

            Last I checked, holy cow they've sold over a thousand...

            (checks) heh... yah that's kind of a swim ain't it...
