I call this my divorce special.
With a little tint.
What I lost in the divorce.
Now I have no idea where to go from here. I thought about a 135i. Maybe wait to see what the next STi looks like.

Let me (attempt to) help you with that decision.

I'm surprised at how many bimmerpost.com people are here.

My new to me '96 Audi A4 2.8L V6 5spd Manual. I honestly can't stand the looks of new cars. So bland IMO, and much too heavy, though the A4 is damn heavy The 90s had some of the coolest cars around, especially in the supercar category. Hopefully I can replace this in 1-2 years with a 96 LT4 Vette in Torch Red, or maybe a Lotus, or a Triumph TR6 pre '74. Something light at least. For now its a good cheap daily driver. I hate to spend money on stuff that doesn't make me money.

Good. Nice pic btw. A man with a proper sports car should track or auto X it IMO.
I'll be taking my little A4 to some Auto X events in the coming months for some giggles even though its not a sports car by any means.
BTW, why is the top off at your event? Wouldn't that be a safety concern?
do it, its a fantastic buzz
just make sure you choose a trackday that is not full of chavs
luckily we have lotus-on-track
the roof off is fine, as long as you have an approved helmet and long sleeves

I've never been a fan of the toyota engined cars, too heavy, have servo brakes and ABS and all that twin cam nonsense
naa, I'll stick with my good old rover k series
200bhp of normally aspirated fun in a car that weighs less than a shoe

I forgot to post this. My weekend race car: (All 3 bodies painted by me)
At a cost of 1/5th of my above Audi, it goes 0-60 quicker than many $200,000+ cars (And I race superstock class)
And now sold

Slam the Rabbit and put a Votex body kit on it. Then it will be hot.

Was the Great America event the only CCA autox you came out to last year?

Yea. I was supposed to go to the one after at Marina, but I was too exhausted from the car control clinic the day before.
Everytime I see an elise/exige, I have regrets for not getting one. But in reality they are slightly impractical for me as an everyday car. They are like a dream though. My type of cars are small/light + high revving. I love the 2ZZ-GE motor. It's actually a pretty lightweight engine. Co-developed by Yamaha. I used to have a celica gt-s with the same motor. They should have put that motor in the MR2-S.

Cool. They have a few more events scheduled at Great America this year. The schedule has been posted over at justracing if you have not yet seen it. I am way out in Livermore, so it will be nice not to have that long drive home from Marina every month. I will probably drive my car once or twice this year instead of my camera.
haha -- Intended on buying just the 'normal' two, but got a good deal on 'em so got the four for not much more than it would cost to get just two elsewhere.

No deer really where I live but in the event I go passing through an area with deer I'm prepared to blast 'em
lol...well, it most certainly is excessive. I'm running a relay to manage just two horns. I'm curious how you managed to wire four.
Oh, that lgt was gorgeous - nicely modded. Get another oneI call this my divorce special.

Excessive, maybe but whatever. I like 'em. You want to see excessive browse the nasioc forums where some of these guys have 4+ in the front and more in the rear.
I've actually considered taking out the lower too and putting them on the other car. The difference between 2 and 4 is marginal.
Wiring is basically the same as you would with 2 horns and a single relay just times 2. The only difference is the lead wire is tee'd off about 6 inches before the end of the wire to go to the first set of horns.
I could never live with a FWD V8. The torque steer is just Nasty! I hate feeling it just when ever I drive a fwd 4 bangers. The last time I drove a FWD V8 (which has been in a long time) I was jut LOLz about it. Actually, I could never live with a FWD anything.
