It will work. For a while. Then they will shit on it.

Try moving it around once a week. Large rubber snakes might also help.

Was just reading a comparo between the '23 Honda Civic Type R and the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla (Circuit) in the March 2023 MotorTrend magazine.

The Type R won.

PS - I’m a little behind in my reading material. lol

I've had a deposit down for a GRC for over a year now. I ended up turning down 4 or 5 total because they were either the wrong color or weren't CE's. Over time the CTR slowly won me over instead. I started getting really serious about securing one on 7/14 and exactly 2 weeks later it was in my garage. I'm very happy with the outcome and the decision to wait and not just settle for whatever was offered to me.

You made the right decision in my book.

The last paragraph of the article:

"But the riotous Toyota doesn't lose the comparison test so much as the Honda Civic Type R wins it. With its end-to-end excellence, not a single major asterisk attaches itself to the CTR. It delivers racy performance, refinement, spaciousness and quality, plus a special sizzle that will indulge owners every day, just as a leading hot hatch should."

Got a set of headers for the mustang this weekend at Summit. Probably wouldn't have been my first choice but they were in the demo area and listed at $140 when they're $285 new.

Can you send some miracles my way? Here is a (not mine) picture of the last thing that I bought, after I suspect that I fractured my foot walking through our kitchen last week.....

I caved in and started playing about a month ago. I've been borrowing a pretty nice paddle that was around $225. I borrowed this cheaper HEAD paddle one day and I found out I'm not good enough to take advantage of the expensive one, so I got this to learn on.

Aqau Joe hose stand. The spigot on the side of our garage is way down along the side of the house behind some bushes. This gives me a spigot right next to the garage side door. I mounted mine without the hose hanger since I already have a reel mounted out there.
