The Fizz. It's back.

The fizz. You know what it is. It separates the fun cars from the appliances, the cars you remember from the ones you don't.

I drive a ricebucket like the one above. It provides a moderate supply of fizz. Seeking more, I put some go-faster bits on. Faster, as I'd learn, wasn't necessarily fizzier. And there was no fizz to be had if the car was in the shop.

Sad. I wanted fizz. I test drove an S2000. It was very full of fizz, and so it came home with me that night.

I took a girl on a spirited drive in the S2000. She made some funny gasping noises and things became fizzy. We're getting married soon.

Still, my daily driver drove like a loosely amalgamated bucket of bolts, at best. So off came some ricer bits. In went some elbow grease. Basic maintenance. Some ECU street tuning, some TLC. And finally, tonight, I found a few corners and straights on the way home. Anyone looking? ... brraaaAAAAAAP brap brap brap braaaAAAAAAAP ...

It's back. I missed you.

Very fizzy! I get a good fizz explosion at track days a few times a year, but it's the small dose of daily fizz keeps you healthy.
