And we'll be taking the certified hooptie again, but with a twist! My parents who aren't really into car things at all, and have never made it to any of the events we have gone to in the past to watch, are going with us on Sunday, and are also driving(!!!) the Mustang in the autocross! They've never done any performance driving before, or even seen this car run, it should be quite the day. Here's a few pictures someone took at the last autocross we took it to, you can find the full album and all of her awesome pictures !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

that was actually my first guess, but I was like why would you need a gas gauge in an autoXer

Also, if we happened to have a rotary to put in it, it would be the Zero Fucks RX7's evil twin... oh wait... I do . If I can find an 's' weight rotor and two new housings.

This is primarily a LeMons car, so fuel levels are quite crucial... but we autoX it in between because we can beat on it super hard and it's a blast. And tires are cheap.

I gave most of my family a ride along at different events. My mom almost threw up. She's not good at rollercoasters either.

LeMons doesn't require SFI rated stuff, so we use the cheap crap our local race shop carries because it's wayyyy cheaper.

I'm excited to get them out there! It's weird being old enough that I have hobbies that they've never even seen before, but it's cool that they at least pretend to be interested.

I approve of this comment.

No doubt, but its cheaper for a reason, same as why the inside of a helmet has hard and soft foam. the hard foam does the real cushioning when you hit it with force :P good luck at your ax!

It's not as soft as a pool noodle, it is in fact purpose built roll cage padding, not sure how to describe it. LeMons is pretty strict on safety and it flies just fine at their tech, so I trust it. Also, with being fully strapped in, head/neck restraint, good seat, you'd be hard pressed to touch the cage with anything other than your wrists or the very top of your helmet.

Trust me; i sell the stuff at the shop i workout. not trying to be rude man, just offering advice.

Haha I know, just trying to justify our cheap-ass-ness. It is a LeMons car afterall, if we weren't cheaping out, it wouldn't fit in. Also... there's other things we should spend money on first, like a non-explody gas tank.
