I currently am flying Southwest Airlines and will be leaving Friday, but if you're interested we can rent a car. I don't want to bring the car down again a week after it came up and a week before it'll go down permanently.

Result for '07 SFR RevItUp is finally published:
http://www.revitup.com/results.asp

I'm 27/931 in Cobalt and 11/30 in Vette shoot-out overall. Now you know why autox crushes racing on the street (j/k).

ps. Not all hotshots show up. I didn't drive well against my potential, and only got one run in Vette instead of two. First time driving a Vette too.

Please don't let me stop you from tooting your own horn, but if you're gonna do it at least show up at Union Landing in the parking lot near Krispy Kreme every Friday at 7pm

That being said, you beat my time by a little under than 1 second

Btw racing on the street always blows lol

Lyian, I'm down but it's just a little too short notice for me. I guess I'll see you next week and I'll give you a call when I'm in LA

sub-29sec is not bad, though the overall ranking is based on your index score, not raw time.

rx-8 will be up at 9am this Sun@Oakland Coliseum.

you learn very quickly on how to be humble at autox. there is always someone faster than you.

I hate the place, ever since my friend told me about all the bodily fluids that they put in their burgers...


Besides we got a Vegan.

Yuch! This reminds me of this little diner back in college where the waitress caught the cook whacking-off to the pancake batter.

It's easy, I cheat a little though. As you wash your car and soap it up, use the claybar with the soap and it will remove the contaminants. Then wax, and you're done.

You are supposed to strip all the old wax down to clear-coat by using dish detergent that cuts thru grease. Clay bar over existing wax-applied surface is like ........ (using any inappropriate analogy you like).

Don't use dish detergent as it dries out the rubber seals over time. Claybar is very good at removing anything on top of your paint and that includes the wax. Every time you clay bar, wax again as the wax you had on the car before you clayed will have been removed by the clay.
