Let's all keep our roads looking interesting.<br /><br />I used to update them <a href="http://rchen.smugmug.com/cars" rel="nofollow">here</a> until ~2012, but this would be a good reminder to bring it up to date.

At the time I had just sold a Mk II GTI 16V, and it reminded me of that car in tossability. <br /><br />But it wasn't a mad puppy like E30 M3: The steering wheel was huge, body roll was aplenty, and on track it was "1980s fast" -- It was harrowing being chased by 400hp Ferraris, and was happier among stock Porsche 944s.<br /><br />In stock form good for around town, long trips for 2, hillside jaunts. Track use only for one-make events like the Senna race.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325091690358272075noreply@blogger.com
