Facebook memory this morning, thought it was funny. I knew the SCCA existed thru my dad in the 70s/80s and rally. After the divorce I thought about, you know, having fun again.
I had bought the xB late 2008 more because it looked fun & could carry stuff, but after the divorce I decided to become a "car guy" again. Could the toaster do double duty? The answer was (mostly) yes. Tannabe lowering springs, brace, cat back, CAI, and left in 2nd (yeah it was auto tragic), I didn't do too bad. Got lost the first lap, of course. A ride-along helped me on the next lap.
More important, what I thought was going to be E36 M3 talking dude-bros were actually cool people (male and female) and were fun to be around. Enough that I joined the SCCA that evening, and after another AX discovered RX with a rental Ford Probe. The end of 2011 gave me an excuse to buy an MR2 finally and it's gone from there.
Here I am renewing for the 11th year. Back into AX after a little hiatus (2020 made it longer than expected), and if the RX events were closer than 4hrs away I'd be back doing that too.
