I am really surprised with this poll's results.  |
Well, to our defense, I give you my excuse.
I seriously have no time to go for any track event, but I'm going insane without speed and control in my life again. I have a not so nice tendency to go for evening runs every night, and yes, Ring lap times give me something to compare this to others that could be bought straight away. It's also a good measure of handling in a way, and because my milk runs are a bit on the faster side, without testing I'm stuck buying a car which can give me the option of staying alive and sane while living here.
Yes, it's sad that this car will hardly see real tracks, but if it gives you pessimists out there comfort, I swear, the car will have a short and fulfilling life.
I just really want to say in the end, that I never speed, at all. Just that you all know that now. Never.
