I'm a terrible 2 owner: I haven't autocrossed yet this season!!! It could be a combination of working every other Saturday, working parttime every Sunday, and also being out of town 3 weeks of the Chicago warm season so far. At any rate, I'm really getting the itch and will hopefully get one in by the end of the month.
Funny thing happened last Friday - my intake slipped off! The car started limping and bucking and doing all kinds of scary stuff, so I had to cut it and get out and push (I love how light these things are for several reasons). This is by no means a manufacturer issue, I just didn't tighten it down enough and after lots of city, rough highway surface and lengthly highway driving it slipped off a tad. I slipped it back on and it was back to normal.
Great news, I'm doing a roadtrip at the beginning of next month! Chicago to Los Angeles and back! I'm doing it for several reasons,
one of which is pretty epic and car related. Though I'm mainly driving so I can see some sites along the way, enjoy the mountain roads out there, bring my bike and enjoy those same roads from a cyclist's perspective, and do a brief trip down to San Diego via the PCH and the 5 (something I really enjoyed a few years ago that I've always wanted to do in the 2).
