I got a 2012 Tuono V4R w/akra & race map for less than $9,000 and it rules hard. Try one out if you're shopping. On your budget you could get one of the new ones with 1100cc and ABS.

Those kensington cables are a complete waste of time, mind you. If it's a combination one you can defeat the lock with nothing but a thin spring steel shim in seconds, and on 99% of them you can get through the cable in seconds with a decent pair of wire cutters or tin snips.

Thanks again for the flashlight message btw. Looks really interesting. I'm going to see what the involvement is time and money wise.

Eh, if yours is locked and nobody else's is, then it'll work - not worth it for a thieft to spend time breaking the lock when there's unlocked ones right there for the taking.

No worries, man :) You can spend as little as $20-30 getting into flashlight modding, and when things get super crazy the high-end can be thousands of dollars or more :P

The 2nd of the two drop-in units that I linked you is really quite good, though - so if the answer to how much money/time you want to put in is "50 bux and an hour or so" then you've got that covered too :)

I'm constantly at a crossroads with my cars. On the diesel Jeep I was talking to the neighbor about these a while ago, apparently parts costs are stupid expensive. I guess there's some control module or something for the engine that is known to poo poo the bed and is several thousand to replace. It's one of those not if but when failures. Maybe a dumb question but why do you NEED a towing vehicle, how often are you going to be towing poo poo? I've been able to get by fine with borrowing or renting trucks when I need to tow something too big for the VW.

If you want a lightweight track car go buy a lotus or atom, not an RX.
I keep going back and forth between building 'the ultimate lightweight E30' or just buying a lotus. For what I'm going to end up having in the loving E30 I could get a decent lotus 7 or maybe a high mileage atom. Then I start thinking about buying an actual open wheel race car and :homebrew::homebrew::homebrew:

I consider buying one of those at least once every couple months. Used ones are getting into reasonable territory which is making it even more tempting. California Superbike School sells off their fleet every year :getin:

My N5X is almost exactly what I wanted in an Android phone, it's just a bit too big. I would rather have the 4.7-5" form factor, but aside from that, I have zero complaints. Battery usually lasts through the day, although I'm not a heavy user.

Only real additional expense is USB-C cables.

I've finally sorted most of the issues I had with my VTA TC3. We managed to have a particularly high-traction day a few weeks back at our new parking lot (my VTA tires were coming off the track with honest-to-god rubber pickup :stare: ) and it made my old man a bit grumpy that I was maybe five seconds behind him on a five minute heat, when he's running a TC6.1 that's probably at least 100g underweight.
