Default Today was my first autocross!

...and let me tell you...those of you who havent gone to one definatly should. it was loads of fun! and might i add that my best time had a 4 second lead on my dad's in his S2! hahaha i just had to rub that one in a little more. I was the second fastest 944 there...but that doest say much there was only like 3 of them I also got to drive a very stiff suspension, 944 set upi for racing which got me hooked on momo steering wheels and made me think of how i can stiffin my car up Its true, i will end up living in my car with no money, because i spend it all on my car. haha alright

Thats awesome. Get a steering wheel, but don't get one with MOMO on it. Or take the emblem off. It looks tacky IMO!!! Thats damn good to beat an S2. S2 is probably the most well-suited for autocrosses. Quick on the low end, and good suspension. You got him pwn3d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you could dress the hood up like a stop sign, then whenever you do something wrong look down at the hood and it will give you adivise

that's a good idea, but the car is dirty so nothing is going on the paint...not even my numbers...I'm leaving the ski rack on it and it's going as a cayenne... However it's gonna suck because if we have to leave the costumes on when we autocross, my car's center of gravity just raised 2 feet, and the handling goes out the window.
