man...what a blast...temps were in the 50's by the afternoon but perfect visibility...other than the fact that some late arrivals blocked my pit area and forced me to move to not have to deal with such morons i had a great time...had an m3 behind me lose it in turn 10 and hit the pit wall (had to be going 60mph when he hit it)...also got to watch an s13 240sx rear kick out in turn 4 (scary place for rwds)

the pr5 tracks really well and can be pitched sideways into a corner with trailing throttle oversteer...not bad for a fwd...gotta love it though...oversteer=floor it

a little girl will take your heart...she'll be into what you like to do faster than you can imagine

my 16month old son already likes to play in the car when i work on it...he will also kinda supervise me when i'm doing suspension or brake work...next thing you know they will be teaching you

everything on the car is stock except an intake...the car came with dunlop sp5000s which i got for our civic...they are good all weather tires and give decent dry grip...though they do squeal when pushed hard
