Southwest has suspended flights to much of the Caribbean, as of a week ago. Not sure if they'll modify their special Companion Pass that was offered as good from 1/6 through 2/28?

Yes, not a surprise and, yes, disappointing. What are the predictions for Sun N Fun and Oshkosh?

This seems quite unusual - hobbies that are not expensive? I'm curious to know more! This could be very inspirational.

Nothing to add, except maybe hang out in Washington for another month, and I'm sure you already thought of that. Wishing you the very best with your recovery, and for the new year!

Just install the rotary from the new racecar. And a 13.11 rear end.

Thanks for finally answering, painless. I just didn't have the courage to actually talk with you...

I am thrilled you got to experience this, Bryan, extra-thrilled you are sharing it with all of us. And quite thrilled I did not have to do all the inverted and other stuff!

Just going back to what you learned in grammar school? (Sorry, couldn't resist. Pilawt, I consider you one of the very best resources on this forum and, from every indication, a true gentleman, scholar, and wise man.)

Congratulations! Here's to your continued success, Sac Arrow!

I just want to get this further off the rails... do we need a separate thread for "Who will play Ted in the movie?"

Seriously, SoCal, I want to be your neighbor and hang out with you! Wow. Terrific stuff! Or at the least, I want to be there when you sell your cast-offs! You've done/built/owned some very cool machinery. Oh, I presume you no longer ran 165/80R15 tires on the LS-powered 914?

I've had to do a go-around for a particularly bold coyote. Oh, and once I saw a cloud that looked like a bunny...

“Installation is the reverse of removal...”

This is only interesting if you did the photos, Jack!

For some reason, I just read about this now. AKBill, so very sorry to hear about this. Wishing you a full and rapid recovery. I enjoy your posts and adventures - hope all the rest of them are good adventures.

This was Colorado Region SCCA, and also Rocky Mountain Chapter of NASA. I first had a traditional Spec Rx-7 but this IT-A and PT-E car offered a lot more fun and performance. I agree the X is normally for Novice, but here the X is for Instructor. (This was my third racecar.) Tons of fun! A bit...

Right with you, my brother! Those are a ton of fun.

Inquiring minds want to know, please! What kind of racecar?

As they say in the amateur sports car racing world, "The answer is always Miata." (I had two, and also two BMW 2002s). The BMW Z3 is fine when working and the Miata offers tons more reliability and maintenance affordability. The four-cylinders have reasonably comparable performance and if you...

I stand corrected - thanks. Yes, it was definitely a four-cylinder so near-certainly a 2.4 liter. (I had a 1977 Scirocco and 1981 Scirocco S. The latter was heavily modified motor and suspension - and quite impressive to young me and my friends. Lots of autocross and some Time Trials - ran at...
