That feeling when you don't drive your car to work because the inside of the windshield is too dirty, and taking the time to properly clean it will make you late.

The Germans probably have a word for this

Nope, just drive with the windshield dirty so you can be blinded by the morning sun. I have been threatening to clean my windshield every morning this week, but forget to when i get home because it isn't nearly as annoying later in the day.

Went to Laguna Seca, didn't die. Yaaaaaay!

I only ran Saturday and the car was flawless, as one would expect from a circle of life n/a build, lol. I'm in love again. I'm not going to lie, I absolutely miss the power from the EFR but it was fun because I got to relearn to drive the car all over again. I'm rusty and I was slow, but I had a great time. I need to get a few more of these on my schedule.

Big shout out to @Scaxx for the loaner Storms and VR-1s. Those are definitely on my shopping list

Gordon.

It's ok.

You can say that the highlight of the weekend was the 2.5 hours we spent together in the BBQ dinner line waiting to get our tickets punched (literally) by the old lady. I mean, your re-emergence onto the tracked miatas scene is awesome and all, but we know where the true highlight of the evening lay.

I am unashamed, and uninhibited. I do hereby declare that the highlight of my Miatas@MRLS2019 (**** weathertech) was my BBQ line crawl with Gordon.

Well, excluding my right seat time with Gesso in the Catfish. That was pretty cool.

Oh and maybe excluding my right seat time with Eric, the relative of Turbofan.

So, excluding all the exclusions, DEFINITELY my 2019 Laguna Seca memories are spending time with Gordon in the line. And commenting upon the "builds" we saw.

You're a brave soul to ride with Eric. He made some good progress throughout the day though, for sure.
