Its not that we don't like Subarus - its just that we can't have someone driving with Birkenstocks and when a Subaru engine blows it spews patchuoli oil all over the track. I'm also not a big fan of the "visualize whirled peas" and "Bernie" bumper stickers which seem to be a requirement for driving a Subby.

Friend of mine threw up in another's friend At a Porsche Club track day. People eat too much, and part of what goes on is the stress that one has when submitted to a bit higher G's - most people are not used to be driven at anything >6/10. The owner of the car had to take it to the shop for a full carpet service, whatever that means.
I usually don't get along well with simulators. Does anyone have any recommendation for reducing nausea in simulators? Just Dramamine? Thank you

I don't think I've ever seen a thread wander as much as this one. Getting back to the OPs original point, both DocWhyte and I instruct for PCA RMR, and I think we are both puzzled because (as far as I'm aware) PCA RMR does not allow students to ride-along in instructors' cars.

Most regions in the east have restrictions about rides but certainly allow them.
Re puke, I’ve neither done so nor had a student do so. Closest embarrassment for me was setting off an instructor’s under seat fire extinguisher when I took a right seat ride as a student. Don’t recall the instructor’s name but i recall he was getting married the following day and was pretty chill about the mess.

I think the statute of limitations has expired so I can tell this story...
15 or so years ago, the normal "sat night, few drinks at the bar" routine went off the rails... columinating with quite a few instructors stumbling out of the bar well past closing time...
fast forward to sunday... all of us were having a hard time keeping it together..... culminating in one of the guys having his student pull over on track to puke.... black flagged the session and pulled everyone in.
In 20+ year of instructing, the only time I've seen anything like that happen..
