Autocrossing and positive thoughts

Took my R56 out today at Warminster Park in the Philly area for our 9th Autocross event of the year. It is my first event with my new anti-sway bar and downpipe which was very exciting. With all the difficulty most of us have had throughout our ownership it's sometimes hard to be positive all the time. I have got to say though that I had an absolute blast with the car today and I have never loved it more. It is nice that I am the limiting factor as the cars performance was flawless and its up to me to make IT, all it can be.

I plan on turning it into my track day and autocross specific vehicle and building it out into the creature I know it can become. I just wanted to share my love for the vehicle because even though we all get frustrated with it, it's absolutely sensational and when it doesn't aggravate us, it makes us smile and that is what matters. Enjoy your vehicle and let it keep making you happy.
