Joking slightly aside, we will be all over the place this season. Florida, Charlotte, Indy, Mid Ohio, a few local tracks and who knows how many more. |

I was sponsored and racing on a team my last few years in Italy. Made it a significantly less burden on my parents. Made a shit ton of $$$ from racing, too, and as a teenager you think you're filthy rich with that much money.

2.5 yrs later and maintenance hasn't been as bad as I'd have thought though work is pricey on them. All worth it because it is multitudes more fun to drive than US offerings and it's still worth what I paid for it. Scott

Unless something new comes along, the next ride is going to be a fight between the AMG S63 wagon and the RS6 Avant. I decided I need another wagon They were juuuuuust out of the budget on this go-round. I will say that anger with GM's dumbassery aside, the Caddy Supercruise was pretty cool. |

Another Dad from our little league has the RS6 and has really enjoyed. He keeps joking about a street race one of these days. Scott

It's crazy to think that by the time he was 6 years old he's already raced at Daytona and Charlotte motor speedway, stood on podiums, raced in a national series (finished 2nd in World Karting points as 1 of the youngest out there). He raced the Daytona infield kart track last season and at the end of this year will be racing the full Daytona road course (24 hour configuration). I'm in my 40s and have never had that chance. Without a doubt, the best moment of my very unimpressive "racing" career was the first time I got to get in a kart and be on track with my kid. Of course he dive bomb passed me in T2 on the out lap. |

I miss my younger days (mid 70's) when I had my kart. Also miss having my hair LOL.
Talking about GM/Chevy cars, why do they always leak oil? Every single one that I had would always leak. Did they ever make a vehicle that did not leak oil? I currently own a 2016 Subaru Outback, and my wife has a 2013 Honda CRV. They do not leak oil or any other kind of fluid. Very reliable so far, especially the Honda which has 103,000 miles on the clock. |

Bought a GMC Terrain in Nov 2020 and it is going in Friday for them to inspect the rear axle for a leak, I found a drop on the garage floor. When it gets fixed, they are also going to fix the engine oil leak. It just hit 20k miles. They told us about the oil leak at probably closer to 10k miles. |

If you come to FL, stop by Jacksonville. The U.S.' largest kart-only track is here with a 1K' straight, banked, and flat turns. No fees to use the track, either, unless it's race day.

We somehow keep missing the Jacksonville races. The CKNA Winter Nationals were just down there. The kid was still technically too young to run the cadet class (his birthday is this week). Unfortunately we couldn't make the "Kid Kart Shootout" at the end of last year either with another race conflict. We'll definitely get there at some point.

I have owned 24 GM vehicles in my life. I used to run them to a gazillion miles with confidence. Now, I'm afraid to own them out of warranty. |
