Already in process: Found, bought, shipped and stripped a donor GP Kicked my wife's car out of the garage for months Made my MINI unsellable, past the point of no return Put a manual transmission in an automatic MCS Sent Jan a check for an obscene amount of money - and that was just the down payment Commissioned Howerton to build me a custom meth system Bought a crazy amount of sensors, gauges and data logging equipment Bought every piece of trim, decal, bumper, etc. to make my cabrio as GP-ish as practical. Registered the domain GPness.com Commenced campaign of 3x normal wonderfulness to the wife, in an attempt to stay married
I love playing with fire, so let's try this again: My wife says I didn't tell her until it was in the garage that I'd bought a '95 M3. (I was sure I did... ) But she's still around, so I'm ready to try again with a '16 Mustang GT350. A real GT350 (especially the '65) has always been out of my reach, so here's a way you can fulfill one of my lifetime dreams. I hereby approve your starting a Kickstarter fund for my GT350. (I thought I'd have a better chance at crowd funding with a reasonably priced car, rather than my dream Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari GTO or Mark Donahue's Trans Am Camaro.) Thanks, in advance, for your contributions. :fingerscrossed:
Similar story.. -My MINI was already unsellable, unless a track rat floated to the surface. --Removed and Replaced roof to get rid of sunroof, hoping it would make a difference. It did. --Sent Jan a check for an obscene amount of money - and that was just the down payment (Borrowed from Paul) --Sent the car to Jan. From Wisconsin. This required another check for an obscene amount of money. --Vipec Dash. So I wouldn't have to buy a crazy amount of gauges and data logging equipment. --Too lazy to buy strips and stuff for the exterior. Hoping Owen (5Zero) will have time to do it while it's in Cali. --No web domain, have to draw the line somewhere. --Looking to sell my MDX for something that will tow a MINI. Probably a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Looking at trailers. Although I might be able to rent one instead. --Getting my wife a Volvo XC 90, because I can only pull off 2x wonderfulness and needed something to make up the difference. All of this because of an obsession to run a sub 2:40 at Road America.
They run submarine races at Road America? :confused5: I've been there dozens of times, and I've never seen that! :cornut:
Yeah, there is a subterranean connection under the track to Elkhart lake, but you have to know the secret handshake to get in....
