No thanks. The car runs like shit right now, hopefully it will be better for this weekend's shakedown.

The latest news is the tyre guys screwed up one rim, the rims are taking forever to be repaired and painted, the engine is out of tune and is making about 12.5 horsepower, my shoe got melted and stuck to the bare metal floor with my foot in it during one test, the rear brakes are hallas, the battery is dead and I'm broke, the exhaust (silencer removed - big mistake) is unbearably loud... You know, the usual...

Driving it to work and back all week, no AC, engine still out of tune and yet pulling strong like a summabitch, front right coilover shot to bits, my ears are bleeding, my right shoe keeps getting melted to the floor, I locked the rear twice in corners with crap downshifts (nice and scary), and I'm loving it.
