The door stop mechanism in the driver door has been clicking since I got this car. There is a crack in the rod where it attaches to the A pillar. I waited a while for one to show up at pull a ...

Lime Rock was a decent race. I caught a nice draft in qualifying which netted a P8 start. I knew there was little chance I'd be able to hang with those guys for long. So up to the pit stop it was a ...

At least its fast enough to merge into traffic with relative ease. It sounds like it would easily outperform the Jaguar 0-60 and 1/4 mile but maybe not top speed.

I was hoping for 1/4 mile times, road course times, flying mile, even confirmation of the speed limiter on the car.

Not much to report other than the truck has carried several heavy loads, and many more small loads.
