You must have a real clean driving record.

Join up with the local SCCA and do all the autocrosses, rally and race events they put out. It may seem expensive at first but it's a damn site better then getting your license jerked or paying the equiv of a new car in insurance every month
Here is MAC's site: Minnesota AutoSports Club
I know one of our Northstar guys should be there - he also has a white FC. Mike's site
Sadly enough the Novice Driver's Training, which was supposed to be held yesterday, was cancelled because of snow. :notify:

1Revvin7: I will be happy to support, back you up and agree with you on all counts! I, too, am the EXACT same way!
Of course, 14 times pulled over might be a few more than mine..
Nonetheless, I have been pulled over about 5 times within the last month, tickets totaling to about $350.00, though not all for racing (the second to the last one was for running a stop sign because I was chasing a Ferrari to get a better look at it!
)
Anyway, I know what you mean! When I get in my car, I wanna DRIVE!! Not Sunday-style, but with speed and finesse! :smilewinkgrin: And, whenever I am at a light or on the interstate and there are riced out cars, people who want to race, or people I want to race, I go for it...every time. Even when I know I'm going to lose. I suppose sometimes I am just counting on being a better driver...Which has happened before. But mostly, I just won't back down from a race. I hate getting my *** handed to me for sure...but I am just more motivated to save more money to mod her out and yeah, maybe join SCCA. But for now, with no $$, you won't see me backing down from a race. Ever.
