My SUV was losing air on left front tire. It was some kind of screw. I called around to find a repair place and it would cost me anywhere between $45-65 and couple of hours. I couldn't see myself waiting for 2 hours so I went to Home Depot and bought repair kit and plugged it myself but it seems to be losing air ever so slightly. We'll see if I have to take it to service.

For fans of endurance racing, Le Mans, Porsche, or Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell, this 45 minute YouTube documentary from Hagerty is worth a watch.

Well, I took my SUV to Tire World and had the left front tire patched properly from the inside. The representative told me not to plug it next time as it voids warranty. I paid $35 which I think is extremely reasonable. They were very professional and did excellent job. I left a five star review for their work. I am glad there is still places like this with great customer service.

To be honest I had forgotten Porsche did so well at LeMans. When I think of LeMans, Ferrari comes to mind first and in modern times Audi.
These are the beautiful Abarth-Porsches that had the benefit of Italian styling when I was there in 1962; from my first roll of film in my Argus C3. They took three consecutive class victories at LeMans.

I just watched a video taken by a friend of my first track day with my S2000 at Gingerman in October 2002. What a thrill. I was nervous as heck as it was the most expensive car I ever bought and I had never done a track day before. Harry Cash was there the same weekend in his red S2000, as were a few others. My buddy was there in his MGA race car and I was using his extra helmet. Ah, the good old days that started my love of the track.

They gave me a loaner to use today while my WRX was being fixed it was a loaded 23 legacy. It had the start/ stop feature which shuts the car off pretty much every time you stop then you press on the gas to go and it starts up again. I can see now why some people are hesitating when lights turn green it takes a few seconds to get the car started. I don’t see how it can be more economical it is a huge wear on the starter and car i.m.o.
