That e-mail in theory sounds great but in real life does not work.  My wife
was driving my car for a season and kept flat spotting my race tires.  It
gets very, very expensive.  Not to mention buying a new race car.  And also
who's going to watch my son when we are both racing?  Single people have it
made if you ask me.  Or you have to be rich.  You must be single?

Subject: Fwd: Shrewd relationship move?


After a conversation with my friend about Autocross (or other
motor-hobbies) being a source of interpersonal relationship difficulties,
he sent me this.  It's a real thing.. I've seen it with my own eyes at BMW
club track events both at Sears Pt. and Buttonwillow.  (I know.. Infineon
and, what's Buttonwillow again? Jim's Towing?)
