For sure I will not be there. What's the point requiring 90 db on a race track? thats less than most highway noise

Yep. Sharkwerks is fixing her up now. I'm fine.

Nice to meet you and thanks for your advice on the 5 lugs and talking to Mooty about an RS purchase.

Both feet in right away. Broken tie rod, RSS links, bent wheel, need new tires, front splitter. Likely only $5k. Fortunately, no roll.

Diesels with better gas mileage don't get the fast lane?
