Wow! "Build something cool" is way right. That thing just looks wicked! And I bet it is wicked to drive too. How often do your passengers have to change their shorts?

well done!

I don't know much but I've heard autocross isn't all it's talked up to be... I hear you spend way more time fixing cones on the course than driving. I think going to a regular road course is the way to go.

BTW, your car is sick!!
