As I mentioned, I'd rather be able to set up a time and get the job done (right) rather than not be able to get it done at all. Competence doesn't do anything for me when I can't stroll in there when it's convenient for them.

As for people skills, I'm not sure what you're referring to. Maybe they were surly to me because they had dealt with you that morning.

That certainly could be true - after the absolute joy someone derives from interacting with me, talking to anyone else must be a drag.

No one - I snuck in the side door when you big, slow, and heavy S2000 guys weren't looking.

Speaking of slow... anyone in here up for the next PCA time trial in two weeks? I was going to go to SCCA Divisionals, but now I'm feeling like two days in the heat for 6 runs just isn't worth it. Think I'll go to the time trial instead.

At least that way typeSH and Gernby will have someone to pick on.

I don't know if I'm going to do any more of the time trials. Both times that I left the track, my car was running like crap. It almost stalled on me both times. It has also taken 3 days for my brakes to get back to normal. I almost rear ended someone in Weatherford, since they were so glazed over.

Maybe you shouldn't have gone and over-tired the car.

Huh? Not sure if you are referring to my driving style, or not? I was on my original OEM S-02s when I hit the pot hole. They already had 8500 miles and 6 autocrosses on them, so they were pretty toasted. I am still driving on the same fronts, but I had to replace the rears.

I did switch to a new set of Kumhos for the PCA event. They are AWESOME! I was expecting more overstear, since the fronts look much wider than the backs (when compared to the OEMs), but I think that the car is actually more nuetral. I completed the whole event without even coming close to spinning! I have spun at least once at every event I attended on S-02s.
