That outta turn a few heads. Could be a little tail happy though.
I know you are at least halfway joking there Mitch but did you really put a collapsible spare on the rear?

I thought that was a no-no: if a rear tire went out, you were supposed to put the front wheel on the rear and the spare on the front, thus minimizing the mismatch in rear tire contact patch and saving the spare from the added stress of being on the drive axle.

Just a thought.

I might make it out for a burger on Thursday, though the way I've been eating this week I'll have a spare tire of my own before long.

PS I have in my posession a photo of Jeff's car looking scandalously un-dirty - I still hesitate to use the word "clean" - at the exotics show in Redmond last weekend.
