Contacted AutoAnything. They offered 10% off. I think it is the best deal going right now, but I also think I can get that deal anytime. I need to get the car out and sell off the autocross bits before I stock pile any more new parts. Gonna wait for now.

Just called
Room reservation made for KVSRT weekend
Last year when I checked out I wanted to make another reservation for 2011
Woman said no, it's too early, call back 4/1
I got the room I wanted at my little seaside motel

Going home
See ya tomorrow
I learned a lot today about the auto engine shutoff on the CR-Z
It seems with the 6MT, you can easily be clever and force the engine to stay running
Ironically enough, all that that will require is for me to drive a manual like I always have
I'm the kind of driver that sits at a stop with the clutch in, car in gear, foot on brake
If I were to sit at a light with the car in neutral, clutch in or out, foot on the brake the engine would turn off
Honestly, I just see this constant shutting off and restarting to be a whole lot of extra wear and tear for what seems like a very tiny fuel savings
