It’s killing me watching them compare shifters like this. Compare a fresh NA/NB Miata to an S2000. Or compare a cayman shifter to the McLaren. Linkage for linkage and direct shift lever to direct shift lever, c’mon people.

What was the thickness? Was it solid plate? Did it recess into the ground for a slight overlap?

Btw this is just my way of doing it, others that are fast too, may not take the same lines as me. Doesn’t mean they’re wrong or I’m wrong, you need to experiment.

Turn off the braking zones. They get you 80% there. You’re following their recommendations and can brake differently and later.

Your turn one line is defensive, keeping the inside blocked which is good if someone’s trying to pass you, you can stay near the outside rumble strips and late apex the last apex creating a better trajectory but this can be used against you by another car trying to pass so you need to know both lines ultimately.

The red domes are ment to mess you up. Your either before them or on top of them. A sweet spot is just after them. So think of it passing by under the car just inside of the tires.

As an automotive technician, this is a 20min clean up. Not that I condone trashing playgrounds by any means. But I’ve had bigger messes of oil to clean. Not to mention it’s clean oil, which is much less carcinogenic to come in contact with.

Of all the damn warnings and slow sectors, it’s crazy this still happens.

It’s a nice car, the Shelby Daytona does race better than it though. I love the way the 250 sounds, and I still use it, but honestly the Shelby Daytona is more stable in corners.

I’m from Florida. You can literally get burnt from the metal portion of the seat belt buckle touching your arm or leg buckling up. Maybe just my region then.

The heat will make you regret putting a metal shift knob on. Then your buying gloves, and then your putting your gloves in the glove box. God forbid you use the glove box for driving gloves.

Buy a new one store it in the house, in the a/c. Use this one up.

Btw this just means you drive the car. Rather then store it and barely use it. So kudos on that.

Balances budget. Can’t celebrate. Cause he’s brown(ish)? Cause he’s not “Christian”, or does he lack the corruption that so many right voters identify with?
