Please don't park that "thing" in front of my house.
A:
I got a kick out of this.... At an AutoX once, a Del Sol driver walks up to me, says hello, and that he likes my Z, and would I please not beat him too bad today. I kind of snickered, and said something like "it'll be a fun day" or what ever, he says "no I mean it, these Z's are fast, just don't make me look too bad". Good thing I wasn't trying to get ready to run, I wouldn't have been able to get my helmet on for all the swelling LOL!!
