Update on Debby from the Sarasota area.. still dumping buckets of rain and wind over here. A couple roads here are under up to a foot of water (good thing I have a truck!) and this storm is about to start costing me money...

Thursday test and tune at the track is most likely going to be cancelled...





1-2 feet of standing water down the entire race track. It's a lake everywhere

I will trade you? I swear if you put a fat guy beard on this mouse it will look exactly like him. Eyes are the same, he stands the same way and looks exactly like him

Pedals are the same as a left hand drive car. Shift pattern is the same also, 1st gear is top left. There were some British sports cars that had the shifter on the right hand side of the driver's seat so you still shifted with the right hand even though you were sitting on the right side of the car. Cannot remember the model.

5% would be a waste of money cause I'd just have to remove it plus pay a ticket. It's definitely noticeable but it's also not very dark.

I'd think that would be really uncomfortable to shift on the right of a right hand drive car.

the old racing GT40's had that setup, made getting in the car a royal biatch I can imagine - - Also, you gotta love having the gas tanks as side crumple zones! What is this safety stuff?

Pretty cool that the door sills are level or almost above the seats - the original low rider.
I think it would be easier to get in from the left and climb across the passenger seat

Your F-stick, 3 cases of Rotella 15W40, a set of BF Goodrich tires and I get the right to shoot him like a lame horse if he doesn't perform

If the pedals were different I would have killed somebody by now, lol. Shifting isn't a big deal, just difficult to break habits, lol. Think the most difficult thing is trying to judge the clearance on the passenger side and right turns, lol.
