I would rather do that, however, i dont feel like driver over 2 hours for every race. All ill have to do is soften up the spring rate and compression on the coilovers, and change rims and tires and i'd be ready for rally-x.

Just a note for those that didn't see the other thread... I pick up the new ride tomorrow evening. The Scion goes bye-bye in less than 24 hours.

It's about time.

Ticked 11,500 this weekend. I have a feeling I'll hit 15,000 before the car turns 1, especially with all the trips I'll be making to the mountains this winter.

Well bump for this thread. We got our first snow yesterday. My little RS did so well. It was a bunch of fun, I was sideways, a lot. Best winter vehicle I have ever owned even better than my tahoe and jeep.

Everyone else having fun this winter?

Finally got to use my rack. Had to install the risers so I could fit 3 boards up top. My stupid fairing brackets were getting in the way of the bindings on the boards.





It's staying like this.

Oh, and I still got 25mpg with everything up there.

100 miles highway, 25 miles city, 25-30 minutes of idling (let it warm up before the trip out and let it run while we took off all our gear).

The car is rated for 25 highway, so getting 25 highway with that stuff up top makes me happy in pants.

Took about 30 mins to figure out how to position the boards to fit, but I finally managed to fit all 4 up top. Then had enough space for 4 people and gear/bags for everyone. It's nice having a wagon.

The only complaint about my RS is that the rear seats dont fold down. For that reason, a wagon would be sweet.

Whoo! Snow! It's nice having a car that can just plow through deep snow. First person to venture down this road, if I waited any longer, I wouldn't have been able to open my doors.

I wish we had snow like that around here.

We keep getting missed by all of these "storms" ... the most we've gotten is maybe 3" or so. I'm getting annoyed.
