Jeph's first AutoX

[Jeph]

It was fun. My goal was to just go out there and see what my car can do and have a good time. But once I found out there was only one other car in my class, it became a challange to not come in last (2nd) place.

It was a C32 AMG that beat me. It shouldn't be this way. It was my first time!

Here's a weak video clip. This was probably my worst run, as my tires will tell you.

Hey man, good for you, that looks like alot of fun. I haven't AutoXed yet, as I'm adverse to helmet-hair and I find a head-sock unbecoming.

First-time or not, I don't see much shame in coming in behind a car that has 120 more h.p. than you and big ************************ tires.

Off-subject, have you actually ever driven your car with the top-down? All your pics (which I enjoy) seem to be with the hard-top on...albeit a nice look.

The AMG beat me by .507 of a second, and was an AutoX veteran (I have TONS of excuses for losing).

Funny you noticed the top always up... I'm a red-head = easily burnt! The hardtop is on 90% of the time. I love the way it looks. I'm not really a convertible kind-a guy despite the fact I own a Boxster.

Good post and good video. Driving the car as it was meant to be driven!

Found some pictures too!


My new arch nemisis can be seen in the background.


Ya think I hit that cone?



How bout this cone? See, I drive with the top off once in a while.
