<shrug> I used the CX - and now the Saab - to visit customers. Hell, I've
used a brush-painted Dyane to visit customers in the past...

I'm just watching in on C5 now. I'm sure it's entertaining to do, but
personally, I think it's seriously boring to watch... I was just giving it
a try, waiting for the Indycars which are on next. It's 5's random
motorsport night tonight it seems heh.

I did a track day on fresh pads and fresh 4.1, but the pedal still went
to the floor in 4 laps.
