I have been thinking of making that drive since I moved to Tucson 6 months ago. I am now inspired to do so next weekend.

right man

but i do have this in the back of my neighbor, a subdivion that has no been built yet, because WCI went bankrupt when they planned it. so it is a huge circle, tight turns with no houses, just a road with grass around it. i cant wait to get on it, if your near coral springs let me know!

Yeah my parents live in R.I. so I know what you mean. That's the best thing about Arizona in the winter, the perfect weather. Windows down, cool air to make the turbo happy almost no rain, it's hard to beat.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the car but really...

Coming out of a tight turn, downshifting

You are correct in that. My wording was a bit off. Little dab of brakes and a downshift then turn and accelerate out of the turn.

so you had traction control off and driving bending roads and the tires didnt give in right? damn that must be fun, i would never do that with traction control off what happens if i slip lol.
