Came across this video today explaining what all of the buttons on an F1 steering wheel do:

I saw my Fit twin again leaving the gym when I was getting there. One of these days it's going to be a close enough "sighting" to wave
Just be prepared to experience disappointment. They try that waving culture on 8th Civic as well, but it does not work too well because the cars are too common I think. I've had some people look at me funny and therefore will not wave unless waved to
I'm used to disappointment - pretty much anytime I am not driving the S I experience it
I am waving anyway - I'm a girl - I can get away with it

Better get a break by the date of the Formula H show. First time ever the show is on a non-race weekend. If I can't clean the Si enough to be show-worthy I'll just show up to spectate and help.
Would love to have weather like the first year. I'm sure the Civic will be clean enough to show - I still plan to you however for not bringing the S
It's ok, let him bring the Si, then I will be the only S (maybe?)

I'm bringing mine I love my Fit but if it's a choice between the two cars - you know which one I'm showing up in

Very cool Marc thanks for posting, I never knew what half that $h!t did.

Sorry to hear about your flooding issues, as Doug has said before, when the time is right for you to have a motorcycle, the right one
will come along and now just wasn't that time for you.

Last year the VSCCA shared the track with the Jaguar Club and Historic Racing Group (HRG). Your buddy Mark was running his Corvette with the HRG. But I don't know if HRG will be there this year as well. You should be able to get in just by signing a waiver of liability.
I might come. Still not sure. If I do come, I'll bring the GoPro so we can hook it up to the MG A and shoot footage of you out on track.

I think I've run into Mark on every visit to Lime Rock Park. He must live very close to there to be such a frequent visitor.

Very true. They took something that looked decent, even advanced back in 2006 and polished the fun out of it. I hate that Insight front grille and the Camry-esque rear section
