I'll even let him drive the Trailcock.

Sounds so dirty.
Wait until he takes his finger and makes the Trailcock rise up

He can't be seen with that hood, it's an embarrassment.

Willing to pay nearly 30k for a corolla hatch?
also :dat: might as well get a GTI if I'm paying that much.
Basically that. Or an Elantra sport or GLI or whatever. Also a problem with the Mazda 3. I like the 3 a lot though.

Yeah the outgoing Elantra sport is essentially a cheaper GLI, since it has a dual clutch

:dat:

big and tiny companies/offices. Even if it was a home style coffee maker, there was coffee around. Current office spends nearly $1400/mo for about 120 employees on 2 floors. And we sometimes here the "woes" of management and costs.
$11.60 per person per month... or 40 cents a day.. seems more than acceptable.
:dat:

It is an extremely minimal cost to make people feel happy, valued, and energized.

Should be. I did the autocross school here and you get way more driving time than at an event.

Yea sort of what I was thinking, I have little interest in actual auto X. Did it a few times and didn't like it... 2 min of driving time for wasting 6 hrs of my life. FK that.

I have done that one and know a number of the instructors. It's a legit autox school so I'm :notsure: how fun it would be if you're not into that stuff.

I mean any kind of HPDE should be fun.

If you've never done an AutoX - do it.

Then try out a Track Night in America event.
I love the fact that it is being advertised as "San Francisco" and it is 100 miles away from SF. :wtf:

200 mile round trip :thisisfine:

I was just hoping to learn something and get about 30 min to 1 hr of driving in to hopefully destroy my tires and use that as an excuse to pick up a set of 17s with summer tires because :fullretard: but yea
