Another day, another S2000 revival rumor:

https://www.carnewsviews.com/2017/02...-release-date/

This article speculates a 2018 release. I just don't see it happening without any prototypes or concepts having been shown at any car shows as of late.

I had a set of Hoosier wets when I was competing in Stock class autocross. I transported them all over the North East to National Tour events. I got to use them once. But that one time...I felt like God! Amazing grip in the wet, but it has to be really wet. If there aren't rooster tails coming off the car, it isn't wet enough to use them.

This article mentions a completely different drive line and price compared to the articles that came out last month. That is very discouraging, as it tells me the magazines are still guessing and have no real information to base their speculation on.

Never again will I consider a Bridgestone.

From today's "You Might Be a Redneck If..." calendar:

...if you wave to people who are driving the same model car as you.
