My 'Boss" brought home a Hyundai Elantra GLS last week  :hmmm: not the same thing at all

I've been worse than there.  We had to have a Kia Soul when they first came out.  Luckily  for me, we were at a New car show and she sat in the twin of our SHO and had to have it.  6 months later bye bye Kia.

So 99 since it seems you'v e mastered the first 1320 feet, why not try some racing with turning and braking involved? Ive run a few Team Shelby track events and its fun for 20 minutes at a time instead of 10-12 seconds :))

Unfortunately around me we have 3 dragstrips, Gulfport(MS), State Capital(Baton Rouge,LA), and NoProblem raceway(Bellerose, LA).  The tracks are open almost year round.  There is a road course at noproblem and one also at Nola motorsports park.  Very little open track days for us non members, and the cost is $200-300.  I did run my '04 Cobra on a track day, and ran out of brakes on about lap 4.  Hard to slow down from 135 when your foot goes to the floor.  I was downshifting and pumping! :drive:

Ya that it is worse for sure...thank God she had ruled that out very early in her selection
