HG took a crap and VANOS rattle all of a sudden. :help

Oh well, probably for the better. Lower compression and more boost here I come. :buttrock

The forecast for this evening is even worse, if anyone is still considering going to the drive-in tonight. :confused

If it is still raining in the morning, there will be no autocross for me. My tires have virtually no tread and are mounted opposite of the direction they are supposed to be, hence zero wet weather traction.

Want to run the wagon? It has full tread all seasons and all wheel drive. :redspot

Oh yeah, driving up I-85 on a wet road with no traction is a brilliant idea. Why didn't I think of that!?
