So on a completely unrelated note...
What's everyone's feeling on the BFG Rivals? Do they hold up long term to the heat? I'm due for new tires and they're so cheap right now I'm having a hard time telling myself to wait for RE-71s or buying the ZII Star Specs, especially when it's close to a $150 price difference, that's like 3/4 of a track day.
I'm not doing TT or autocrossing, just nice weather DDing and a few HPDE2 days; I just want something that'll hold up to the heat well.

The new toy is the Bambino S2000. Working on a new job right now that would have a company car, so the VR could be going up for sale.
Didn't mean to confuse.

Good to see another s2k at the event. Your s2k has a FR turbo kit? It'll be interesting to see how it holds up over the course of a session. Nice ride.

Ya, "priorities straight" is a funny term when it comes to car stuff. I can't tell anyone with clear conscience to come out to the track and throw money into the bottomless pit vs. buy a house. 
Good to hear you'll be out there this year either way.
Kevin don't be hatin on the minivan. If I get one I might have to throw some R comps on it and get a point by from you.
