Yes, your guest will get to experience everything you do at PCD. They can either ride as passenger the entire time or all events have a time when they will ask you to switch drivers if you are interested.

Thanks guys.

As for you Mr Tonka , now that you have begun talk of working something out on the other services, I think yes, you do scare me more than she does! I am actually fairly newish to "real" driving. Other than fun cars, my next major driving improvement investment needs to be a drivER improvement investment. I have a buddy who races and he is an instructor. He said he sees people in there all the time that talk about this mod or that mod to take 5 seconds off a lap time or whatever. He will jump in their car and beat their lap time by like 10-15 seconds as a demonstration that the greatest speed gain most of us can get is in the driver. That is FOR SURE the case for me.

To be fair, i did have MKSixer in line to do all the "dirty" work. lol

That is the case with almost all of us. I used to rag on people for telling me how much faster their car is around corners because they lowered it. Or motorcycle guys trying to make their bikes faster. lol It's pretty difficult for most of us to grab parts off the shelf and make our daily drivers much faster around the track. Then again, if we're not Micheal Jordan, we need the shoes. Amirite? lol

Be careful, you may get addicted and turn one of those M cars into a track daemon.

Wait, before I answer, I need to know... are you *volunteering* to do the "dirty" work? This answer is very important to my decision.

Well, before I answer your question, is there a specific dress code? This would be very important for my decision.

One thing is certain. Based on what I have read elsewhere around here, any jeans must be thoroughly washed and certified stripper-fluid free. *shudders*
Also, un-shat-in (looking at you 1MOREMOD )

That awkward moment when you've worn your jeans to the strip club and have yet to wash them.

By work something out you obviously mean providing the financing for whatever jtodd_fl special tastes call for...

Yeah, took a buddy with me for the delivery of my E60 M5. Awesome. Both get to drive and attend all the events. We even got to test drive the X5d on the off-road course.

Met the hottest MILF there, she had an E93 M3. Won't forget her - if you see this - you know who you are. You dated Shane Victotino. We tried to setup a pinch hit for me but our schedules never jived.
