I'm going to blame it on solar flares.

Also have PM's been sent to last years participants who have no signed up yet?

Heck yea!!! Gotta represent ARX!

What if I did a play on words and started South Austin RX... I could be honorary SARX and SARX.

I'mma straight up genius I know.

Back to being serious, the less drivers we have the more fun the runs will be. Just from my personal experience on canyon roads.

Also I watched J's vid from last year, that road isn't too crazy cray. When Hoss gets back we can do a mini pre-cruise and check it out... I can show y'all how to drive and reattach your *******, etc.

A pre cruise would be great if I had my motherfuckin' turbo.

3rd. Second went from 58k to 92k. I took it in just to get the compression checked before it went out of warranty and it came back in the low 6's, so free engine for me!

**** back in the day when I had a 80 mile a day commute I was spending $400+ a month when gas prices spiked up. My first engine lasted 22k, second 74k, and 3rd 30k. The second engine saw mostly all highway so you may be on to something Sheena.

If you read through the stories of the owners whose original engines lasted 100k+, they all had long commutes like me.

And yes, DC...I spend a little over $1000 a month in gas.

Let me get this straight... You've been without your car for god knows how long, you finally have every part known to man and then some. An opportunity arises to show your sweet *** ride off, one that you will be in town for.

And you want to sit and watch the paint dry.




Sidenote: It usually takes 4 days for clearcoats to fully cure these days

Second Sidenote: I'm down for many beers!!!

Yeah I have read everything and I have come to the conclusion that there is no one reason the S1 Renesis' fail, some people just get lucky.
