When we make our product and there is mold release on it you can't get anything to glue to it. We did design a glue that can but that took over four years to get right.

Mold release just plain sucks. They do make dry mold releases but they never do the job like the original.

A secluded parking lot may not be legal but out in the boonies it can give you some free space to play without any people to worry about.

The best thing is to find a place that will rent the space or let you use it legally and cone off the entrances and exits. The move onto the free space. Finding a diagram of a small lot course will help with placement of cones. Then have at it. I usually use my jobs parking lot on occasion and push the car till it drifts. Then I know just how far to push. From there learning how to keep the line is a little easier because you then have an idea of just how far you can push it. At least this works for me. Others may have other suggestions.

The SCCA sponsors the Evolution driving school which run throughout the race season. Signing up for the class is typically $230-260. The first class type is probably what would benefit you the most.

While driving down I94 service drive i was going about 65 and the road is a little curvy, it felt like the ass end came out from under me a little bit, but it had rained lightly earlier that day as well, but it had been nearly 7 hours since so i figured it should be dry.

notes:

It was my 1st day with the wonderful S... just picked it up Saturday! i love it thus far, went from eclipse GS 03 to this! its a effing beast!

18 soon to be 19 making payments on this wonderful machine
