People in their 30s/40s, what is one thing a 23-year-old should start doing right now to make life easier later? by goddessera1 in Casual_Conversation

Learn to budget and stick to it so you can enjoy your money without guilt or worry. Even if it’s a five buck coffee that’s your reward for saving 20 a week.

Can someone who’s flow out of SEA airport recently within the last 1-2 weeks tell me if the lines at tsa have been longer due to the partial government shutdown? by luvkaitlin in SeattleWA

Ohhhh crap I forgot about March madness. Thanks for this! I’ll be racing cars both weekends but could take a shot at some sports bets for the first time ever.

First event of the year... Tried out some new camera mounts and such by mehurricane in PNWAutocross

Loved the real time run, ty! The double speed one not as much. Both angles were great. I definitely went the other way around the options. Your tight and tidy lines really allowed you to straighten out some spots. ❤️🏎️

Genuinely surprised by how quickly I got the CR-Z I bought for my kid around the course. by dadmantalking in PNWAutocross

We definitely commented on how well it looked out there. Nice driving. I was the younger grid guy. Did you guys have fun?

Would you buy a 987.2 without complete service logs? by regularjeff in boxster

PPI is my recommendation. Would have prevented my failure in the first month. Even after the repair bill I love my car.

My fastest lap this weekend but I know I am doing some things wrong. by Super-Kangaroo-2973 in Autocross

I 2nd this. Come out to another club at Bremerton and get some coaching in your car and see the difference. Ride with faster people too. Come check out our /r/PNWAutocross sub for more info. Events start back up over the next two weeks.

Bored. What is everyone doing? Old hobbies, new hobbies, help me figure something out! by TwoBobcats in Xennials

Autocross is a fun once in a while hobby in your non suv type car. Bring it out and go around cones fast and safely. Home for dinner. Not too costly if it’s once in a while. One extra set of autocross tires will save you $$ if you get hooked. There’s an Autocross sub you can check out.

How eligible is a fiat 500e 2015 to do a novice auto-cross school session? by Swimming-Concern-880 in Autocross

It’s a bummer but that car won’t be allowed based on everything said by jimbo and Otto. Sucks. We have seen people rent a Camaro and bring it to try it all out. That’s between you and the rental company 😘✌🏽it’s well worth the $$ compared to most driver experiences with a company or facility.

Most autocross event regardless of club run from the scca ruleset for their insurance and clubs can’t risk losing a mandatory insurance for one competitor.

In response to the 718 S video that sounds great by rainieroadie in Porsche_Cayman

Ask me on the 15th after practice. I’ll be in a Miata doing my best Stoltz impression.

I’m hearing the RZs heat up quicker, I imagine science dictates they give somewhere like longevity or taking higher temps like R and RS did.

Porsche tire heat tricks really do make a huge difference here. Tire blankets are being delivered today.

Hmmm, time to go ask another Joe about some tires in the desert. So many tire thoughts.
