A short car failure story. Wednesday afternoon the screw holding in my distributor rotor thought it had enough, and decided to remove itself from the system. The rotor thought this was fantastic, and celebrated by tearing up the distributor cap while mauling itself in the process. Glorious. Get my new cap and rotor on Friday, still doesn't work. New complete distributor is on its way from "distributor king" on ebay. Meanwhile I'm driving my parent's 740 wagon, in all of its boxy turbo wagon goodness. At the very least, the car fits me well. Lots of steering wheel/leg clearance, I have at least a couple inches of headroom, and the headrests are sized well for someone my size. It even fits in the garage!
This made Sunday's autocross interesting, as now we had no car to drive. Fortunately, Brad was nice enough to let us co-drive his godaddy.com Miata, complete with slick orange and green stripes. Teresa and I were both pretty pleased with our results, her with one of her best pax scores since the GS Neon, and I scored higher than I have in a good number of events now. Driving the right car for the class has its benefits I suppose. ;-)
