I took mine to Sebring last weekend for my first DE with my GT3 and after an unplanned off track excursion in the 2nd session she was all for me getting back on the proverbial horse in the 3rd session. She also thinks I need a 2nd set of wheels and track tires after I explained why other folks at the DE were changing wheels and I wasn't. Now I'm just worried she's going to want her own 911 for DEs. And here I thought buying her ring at Tiffany's was expensive.
here's to hoping! she's kind of stubborn though. unfortuneately i'm trying to sell the car, so it may never get the chance to see a track. i have more important expenses to pay for, like our wedding, and my C4 only gets driven a few hundred miles a month since i started taking the subway to work last fall. so i pay a huge car payment to have a (dare i say) garage queen. i put on over 32K miles in the first 2.5 years, and only 2000 miles in the last 9 months. what a waste of a wonderful car.
