Stolen Porsche

The third race of the season is in the books, and we were again down a member. Thomas Armentrout, rumored to have retired out of fear of losing, did not attend this weekend. The field was thinned even more on Saturday when Patrick realized that he owned a German car, and then noticed that it was broken.

Speaking of German cars – I had my first opportunity to race the powerhaus (like that?) that is known as the BMW 318ti. To sum it up best, I will quote Alan Pozner: “You need shocks, boy.”

I’d also like to take a moment to thank Dave Williams and the rest from National Road Autosport for recognizing how coveted the Team Zip-Tie Cup truely is by mentioning it on the July update on their site. If you are a frequent visitor to this site, please continue to link to them from us (Dave mentioned that we are now showing up as a referer)!

The results have been posted. Here are the current Team Zip-Tie standings to date:

Another big shift in the standings… now we’re getting interesting.

BMW 318ti
Looks like a M3, feels like a Hyundai.

Who has two thumbs, got a new house, a new job working with NASA, and got an 11 year old entry level German car…?
