i drive with it out all of the time when it's nice out,most of the wind goes right over,it can't blow off because of the arms that attach to the motors the raise and lower the top.

I know the arms were attached, I just figured the rear pocket would catch a ton of air, and end up tearing. Ill have to try cruising it around like that I suppose.

Saw a lowered red S5 t2 (front mount intercooler w/ t2 hood) on a flatbed on it's way to the auction across the street from work (z sport in everett), then about 20 min later leaving on a stinger (regular dolly type). To truck driver scrapped the hell out of the front bumper though omg you could hear it down the street. Car was so clean too!

Let me guess that 1st gen had the best time out of all of them right?

I saw a silver S4 FC in Lake Stevens earlier tonight. It had a sort of pizza delivery thing on top... I didn't see the company name, though.

I believe I saw that same exact car at Rite Aid accros from the skatepark in Snohomish. I posted it up here, but no one ever replied.

We had 5 RX-7s there that day. The silver 1st gen is mine and as RW-7 suggested I did in fact beat all the other 7's that day. The nearest one was a 93 CYM which i beat by 1.385 sec.

In fact out of 132 drivers I took 13th overall. Just about my best autocross day yet.

Yesterday: I saw a royal blue looking FC... Can't remember where. I also saw a tan FB parked at a house in Lake Stevens. It looked similar to snivley whiplash's car, but I didn't catch the front end.

Today: I saw the arctic blue FC with a Domino's pizza delivery fin on it in Lake Stevens. Then I saw that white FC with red rims and S5 tails in Snohomish... Again. I've seen both of these cars twice now...
