I'm pretty sick of working on this thing.

Is there another option that would be less trouble prone?

Sure, maybe bicycle racing?

na, after watching some of the tour de France looks like you can do as much damage to your body, as you do to your equipment

At least you're just lazy.

I bet. This is how a car ends up as a large garage shelf. :ack:

Yeah, bike racing sucks. I'll stick to cars.

I actually like working on the DSP car. But this year has just been over the top. I'm burned out.

Well, you made it long enough to secure a win this last time, so there's that. :)

I was actually thinking another vehicle. As it appears the e46 has too many self-destruct components to withstand the demands of autocross.

Sam pointed out that I'm undefeated in the car so far this year. It isn't saying much, though.

The thought has crossed my mind, but it's just way too much fun when it works. Everyone who drives it gets out giggling the first time. Anyway, I think I have everything fixed now. :eeps::umn:

I saw you load the car in Toledo. And let the car know what you thought of it once it was on the trailer. I thought I should just let you have some space.

We've talked a few times about this car and why it breaks. I'm sure you'd move to something different if you thought it would be worth it.
