    There are just so many good comebacks to this, I do not know where to start.

    Lets see.......fruit, nuts, and a tossed salad all served by a guy wearing makeup. Glad I am missing this one.
    I learned this the hard way.....

    Take all of your valuables out of your car at night. This includes taking the mounting hardware off of your windshield or dash and hiding the power supplies. I lost over $ 1,000 to a thief with no hope of recovering my items and to top if off they smashed my window in the rain and my truck got soaked. Let my loss be your learning experience.

    Sounds like a typical BMWCCA event. Don't tell me you f'ed up your little toaster.

    All six gears worked fine on my car at MSR on Saturday, it just made a few noises going into second at high rpms.

    Thankfully, Mazda recognizes that people might actually want to drive their sportscars, so they're replacing my transmission under warranty. Parts will be here today, the car should be back on Thursday, and the loaner goes fine in the snow. I didn't even have to take the lap belt out of it.

    Hope you didn't launch too hard on Saturday - it would suck to lose your warranty on top of cracking that paper thin, $5000 piece of fiberglass the first time you raced it.

    Good thing, that would suck to keep replacing engines and transmissions like some guys if you had to pay for each one :) The fiberglass is fine and the owners manual specifically states they recognize that owners should take the car to the track to experience it's dynamic handling abilities etc.

    After driving it this weekend it's going to be tough to go back to any normal car, I have no regrets on the purchase so far unlike my last vehicle
