It's like I keep saying:  Those who would sacrifice a free range session for a giant beer, deserve neither free range time nor a giant beer.

At the last HPDE I did at Road America, a guy brought his GTV6 2.5.  It was in good original condition, and it sounded great.  Unfortunately, I dont' think the car survived 2 days' worth of flogging.   :-\

I have a track ready suburban........$2500. Everything works, 220k miles, I wont even charge you extra for the huge dents in the body that were from pulling tree stumps on the farm(chain snapped and did a number on the rear door!)It does have every track day car buffs suspension though........It has  Bilstein shocks sport mode and sway bars. Tires are mostly good and the radio works so you can listen to bananarama while shredding tires in turn 3.
[laugh]
It does come with fold down seats so you fit a drinks decanter in there and really pimp it out. . Almost forgot it has special one year only paint mostly in bad shape, and its muddy..........on the inside, farm truck.Outside gets washed with the rain. Rumor has it The Stig on next seasons Top Gear is coming over to do a special on my track ready suburban and yes, It'll also get a lap from Capt Slow as well! wahooooooooo!!!! [laugh]

I drove it to the Miller Motorsports Park last night for an open track night. But... not exactly a track day CAR.  [laugh]

Bikes I've jumped and/or crashed:
84 Kawasaki KDX 80 - Bike i learned to ride on when I was young(er)
84 Kawasaki KDX 200 - First naked bike. crashed so frequently the plastics wouldnt stay on.
99 KTM 620 - If you could even get the thing kick started in the first place...
02 Yamaha Zuma - not a motorcycle but still crashed and jumped it way too many times.
04 Harley Road King Classic - Awesome story behind this
06 Ducati S2R 1000 - neither.... yet.
