Slap some new pads on that puppy and swap the LF with the RR and SEND IT!

I think you may need brakes and tires... get home safe on that tire? What is that drop of water on the caliper, were you crying?

Drove it (slowly) to Bela's shop and picked it up the following morning after swapping that tire with one of the snows so I could drive it home.....
Yep, I felt like crying, but it was just rain.......

First and last time tracking her......

Thanks for all your thoughts.

I’m feeling excited about this car. The test drive went well although it wasn’t on a track it’s not as bad on the street as I was afraid it could be.

My wife could get in and out fairly well so it passed the ‘butt’ test as well!

Great! Make sure you post your thoughts on your first track experience with the 4C. I am sure it will be quite different than mine with the QV........

Very nice, that was the color I picked when I "Built" one online, just with different wheels. Close to the color of my favorite mid-engine Italian (Grigio Titanio)...
