I often run older tires especially when I've swapped wheels and tires on the Z over the years during testing. A blowout like that at pretty much any speed is absolute nightmare fuel for me. I'm guessing the Neon held up to the incident without much fuss?
I splurged on a pair of Raleigh Denim dead stock White Oak Cone Mill jeans a few months ago. Until I got them out of the impressive packaging, I had serious doubts about having spent that much on a pair of jeans, but the fact they were going to be some of the last jeans made with real White Oak denim sucked me in.
Let me tell you they are impressive in their materials, build quality and attention to detail that made me mad because I really wanted to find something to keep me from wanting to buy more pairs of expensive denim. Once I saw their drop about the locally sourced cotton I knew I'd be buying another pair.
When I put them on for the first time and knew they fit, I thought to myself, as long as I don't get fat again I should have these for long enough to justify the price.
"So I dragged the Neon out for this past weekend’s race at Nelson Ledges."
from the video nelson ledges looks pretty cool and id want to race there. also are those konis with a ground control coilover kit? i was considering a set for the miata but wasnt sure if they would be worth it compared to xidas with regards to the cost difference. the konis are at least a known quantity at this point
"The important thing is that her pace is now equal to that of the 20-year veterans in SRF2"
hot damn. how did she get that fast that quick? you must be a really good teacher
"It’s clearly quicker than our USA-market car, probably because it is a few hundred pounds lighter"
absolutely nuts. guess thats the one to go for if you can get the parts that made it light. or the italians are lying about curb weight but theyve never done that before
"The Handmaid’s Tale is a fetish book masquerading as feminist literature"
A local aquaintance of mine bought one, I asked him how he liked it. His giddy response was that it was the *only Z06 C8* at the local cars and coffee event and that a bunch of people were checking it out. No mention of how it actually drives or anything else. He looks about how you'd expect him to based on that anecdote lol

I should buy some because there is no quicker path to me losing* 20 lbs than buying jeans that would fit me right now
*gaining

Here's an amusing anecdote I heard at work today.
As a cost-cutting measure, the company removed the water coolers from offices that have water fountains.
Noticing this, a woman I work with emailed THE COMPANY PRESIDENT demanding to know where it had gone.
By the way, we have like 50,000 employees.
If you want to get someone attention, email their boss.
49,999
"This is not political discourse. It’s not worthy of us or of this country. And it gets us nowhere fast."
This isn't the high-water mark of your sense of proportion.

The longer the C8 is with us, the more I'm convinced the C5 is the high-water mark of Corvette styling.
Is Madin any relation to Westin Workman who races in Global MX-5 Cup?
I can't wait to tell everyone just how much I hated that scifi book.
That was sci fi?
