I owned 1! Gave it to my daughter who moved to NC. Sooo That didn’t last so I flew back and started Motrin on the plane for the drive back to Ca... it took a toll on me. One, you get the small car rage cause everyone tries to cut u off or take u out, Two, it’s uncomfortable ( I was not designed for one) and Three, it cant take 100 for three days across Texas! Wink

Her! Oh he!! No, this was her deal I was just being dad. She drove too.
Moe, me and you in a Civic is trouble. You ever race a 14 second bracket car with two good racers? It’s a blast? I did! Hammer, Jeff, Chuck Rayburn (stock world champ) and a bunch of others. It’s a blast!! Ron Nichols (Hammer) and I won at Fremont. Yes long ago....That was cool.

We should start a class for pairing up guys or gals in a car. Team Racing!
