[SportDriving] First Auto-x

[Aleks Tan]

Donovan, just take your M3 next time. I think you'll be pretty impressed with what it can do at the auto-x. I think it has a pleasing balance of power and handling that might make you put your Miata back in the toybox. Then again, you can swap the M3 engine in your Miata and you'll have a true ///M-iata.

First auto-x; what a blast! I think I really enjoy driving now and will continue going to events.  I would love to try a trackday in my little miata.

I was so thankful to have so many friends at the course.  Aleks, thanks very much for continually reminding me to come out!  Let me know if you need a hand in your garage w/ the GC's.  I also, of course, am interested in riding in an M3 w/ fresh suspension since my M3 also has 120k miles on it.

Also nobody gave me shit about driving a miata at a BMW event.  People were so so nice.  I really enjoyed my time and glad I joined the club (btw, when do my stickers come? wanna put them on my miata =) )

Thanks again,
Donovan
