No kidding, the jerk went and bought an S exactly the same as mine, he even bought it from a guy named Kerry! Now I have to go change something... grumble...

Kidding, it's a really nice car, you all should come out to autocross, if you want a ride just come up to the #18 NFR on one of my first two runs and I'll take you along.

About 3 years now, though I just moved to the main plant about 8 months ago.

I'm anxious to autocross my S but I'm going to finish out the season in the Camaro. Maybe I'll hit up a Porsche club autocross at Springs Church or something...

There were 5 S2000's at Friday's autocross! 2 reds, 2 silvers, a yellow, and one blue (watching from the sidelines)

Hey corey, how do u like working there as a mech eng.?...iam graduating in dec with a manufacturing eng. degree, but iam not sure if i could work there full time as an engineer.
Sorry, didn't see this until now. Chat with Shaun C. in the blue Subaru that parks by us. He works in M.E. I'm loving working in Powertrain Eng, best place I've worked in 10 years.

You've got to love a freshly waxed car! It's going to get filthy tomorrow in the gravel parking lot at work so I had to take pictures.





P.S. I am the reason it's going to rain tomorrow. Sorry.

Thanks! I actually like the look of the stock 16" wheels. Most of the aftermarket wheels that I like are WAY too much money for my budget.

I've already got a second set of stock wheels for R-compounds. I'm going to be making a single exhaust soon and a big front bar will be ordered in a couple weeks. I'm really looking forward to learning how to drive this car next season!

I got to test an autocross course a couple of weekends ago with this car - what a blast! It really highlighted how badly I needed an alignment. For the first 1/3 of the run I tried to keep it straight but I gave up and just drifted the rest. Wicked fun!

You guys live in the wrong place to enjoy your Ss. I know. I spent a year in Manitoba near Beausejour. That is one cold place. Never saw so much snow in my life.

I want to get back up that way someday and see how it's changed.

Good luck guys and enjoy the summer while you can.

We have extremes in Manitoba (in Winnipeg anyways). It's normal to see -40C in the winter to +40C in the summer.

The summer is a little short I guess compared to places down south but you get used to it and it makes you take advantage of the nice weather come summertime.
