Never really had the desire to own one, but the new Emira is pretty nice.

I'm surprised it hasn't been stripped on Hilltop

A car that parked overnight at my office lot in T-Town was on blocks when I arrived the next morning. He thought it would be safer than parked along the road across the street because last time he did that his window got smashed out.

He also was an Oregon grad.





Probably.

It’s cool. He parks it in front of the $5 cupcake store.

I parked in front of a $5 cupcake store once and when I came back my car was gone.








Towed, not stolen, because I misread the sign.

Never leave your car around boujee white people either.

When I finally ended up at the tow company and told them where I parked, they laughed and said the meter maid man was an overzealous jackass who provides them a ton of business.

I was in the VRI up at Western when Mike Seal (RIP) was still running the show. Fascinating guy who was on a first name basis with Kenichi_Yamamoto, former CEO of Mazda and developer of the Mazda Wankel, and developed under contract the Subaru DOHC 4-valve cylinder heads now cranking out huge HP in rally races and whatnot.

Dr. Seal liked to quote Colin Chapman (and what car guy doesn't?), although I'm guessing some of the quotes were bastardized by time. My favorite was when he quoted Chapman as saying something to the tune of, "The perfect race car is on that wins the race and then subsequently collapses into its component parts. If if doesn't, it's too heavy."

I've looked for this quote online, but the closest I've found is, "Any car which holds together for the whole race is too heavy."

Many believe Chapman's maniacal quest for lightness killed a few of his drivers. Still, I've always been a fan of Lotus' design philosophy. Back when I started track riding at Pacific Raceways (SIR), the 4-wheel school's fleet cars were Elises. I badly wanted to give one a spin. That car was literally glued together!
