same with the TT. know what? If cute is what it takes to bring them over, so be it. Enjoy your ride home alone. ; )

What class does your car fall into? After my suspension upgrade, the Sports Car Club of VT will put me into SCCA A class for autox. Well, thats if i ever get around to racing...

They may weigh alot, but I'd rather be a 3550 lb A4 than a neon srt when I get T-boned on the highway.

Getting T-boned on a highway requires a lot of skill on both drivers parts. I'd rather be in my friends Corolla than any production Audi in any situation. Real roll cage FTW.

It can happen. The ironic part is that they used the crane to puck up the pieces of the first semi.

"The mess on the highway resulted when the two vehicles collided in the eastbound, or upvalley lanes, of Highway 82 just east of the Aspen Glen subdivision.

According to the Colorado State Patrol, a semi driven by Mark Phipps, 47, of Fieldale, Va., was traveling east when he attempted a U-turn from the paved shoulder to head west after missing his turn. The semi pulled in front of a construction crane, also traveling east, driven by Ronald Lovell, 46, of Parachute, Colo., the patrol said.

The impact split open the semi’s trailer, spilling its contents — liquid wood stain and other debris — onto the westbound lanes. The semi came to rest after striking a car in the side then blocked both downvalley, or westbound, lanes of the highway; the crane came to rest in the median, according to the state patrol."

That's scary, but not as scary as how light my Miata will be now that I just got a carbon fiber hood! Pics soon!

I drilled the holes and decided to test it for fitament, before I painted the trunk. No need to rip up the paint to drill holes! Woo!
