You're trying to compare public roads with a track?
Uh right.
On a track, you got marshalls watching out for everybody. Drive as hard as you can with run off space. No need to worry about wildlife. And I can go on and on.
Sorry, but there's more than life than just curvy roads.

Don't worry Dan... stock will be fine... I tracked stock a few times and it was great..
to be honest the stock suspension is probably a little easier to work with than aftermarket suspension if you are a track n00b.
My stock brakes survived 3 track sessions and a few years of aggressive street driving. They just died on me this week finally. Now I'm upgrading but only because I plan on getting in at least 6-8 track days this season.
take my word and and go for it... its the most fun I've ever had in a car... and trust me kid... I've got stories, so that is saying a lot!!! = P

I know your roads are great and all, but that comment was even more ignorant that most
of your normal weather comments...
There is no way to compare a track day to public roads... its just un-possible!
If you go out there and drive ten tenths on public roads, you pretty much deserve to be shot.
The track is the only place that any rational thinking person would ever consider going all out and pushing their car to the limit... and even then most of us tend to hold back just a little!

Bruno have you seen my setup? It will definately do the job, and it looks nice and clean
Also, with the autometer gauge, you can replace the bulb with a red LED that will match the interior lighting perfectly.
I haven't gone with an LED just yet, but even the red bulb with red bulb condom gets it pretty close... I'll be tossing in an LED as soon as my bulb dies, or I need to go into my console/vents for any reason.
If you want to check it out, let me know and I can meet up with you sometime.

Guess what?
My drive to work in the morning is 15-20 minutes and so far I haven't ran into a major accident delay. And I don't use the 401. And if there is an accident I use the in-city route and it's only 10 minutes longer.
Oh and I used to walk 6-10 minutes to work anyways but I rather drive and enjoy the use of the car and music every day. And I'll be moving so my commute will be reduced by 10km each way.
People here choose where they want to live and how they want to commute, plus people here have a very flexible work arrangement.
Toronto has everything (almost) I want, one thing that's missing - the mountains but with all the stuff I have access to here, folks I know, etc. I wouldn't move anywhere else.

</takes a bow\>... I try!
I can pretty much tell that you make a bunch of your posts just to fvck with us now... to be honest your posts don't even really bother me that much... I know what you're tying to do, and who am I to ruin your fun???
I generally only respond to make others laugh, and to simulate the tread a little.
We don't get much action on the Canadian forums unless Visti fvcks up a bumper, the Leafs play, or you post something stupid.
