The MR2 is hopefully only about a week away from getting fired up for the first time in about 6 months. The engine
has been slightly refreshed with new water and oil pumps, a litany of new gaskets, O-rings, and hoses. Hopefully this
will cure the heretofore omnipresent oil leaks and allow me to not worry about what I might be dripping on a racetrack.
I also had the opportunity to put the NSX through its paces at the first autocross of '09. On street tires,
I wasn't going to be competitive anyway, but it was certainly good fun and provided an excellent oportunity for me to
get on more familiar terms with my new addition. Check the gallery and video sections for visual coverage.
As discretion oft proves the better part of valor, brevity

I unloaded my car in a driving snow storm on Friday the 12th. Camden, SC where I lodged received, in fact, 5 inches
of accumulation in about 12 hours Friday night. Fortunately, all was not lost.

of a mini-blog on Tennspeed, and I am way too lazy to transcribe the entire thing, so in lieu of actual work, here is a link:
So, we are at it again. We loaded the GT2 onto the trailer yesterday
(Wednesday 11/11) and headed south. We pulled in today and with a favorable weather forecast, it looks like some pretty
slick stuff is going to come out of the woodwork. I snapped a few teaser pics in the garage earlier this evening, but
will post more. The link below will take you to all pictures:
Better
late to the headlines than never. TJ finally managed to get the 240 up and completely running a month or so ago.
Now it is just an issue of a little polish and fine-tuning. In honor of this momentous occasion, 3-Zero productions
presents....a ridiculous video montage
It snowed
here in Knoxville recently, and I was reminded how very incompetent most people are at driving in the white stuff. To
wit, I present to you, "how it's done":
