My test lap in the East Bay.
So I got my test track all figured out for breaking in my new motor while I'm down here in the Bay...
43 miles round trip. I ran it three times tonight, take's about 50 minutes for a lap... not exactly the Nurburgring.  For those who know the Bay, here's the lap: East/South on Camino Tassajara from my parent's house East on 580 to Livermore South/West on 84 to Sunol North on 680 to Danville East back on Camino Tassajara So, that's 130 miles tonight, plus my trip to Sac and back yesterday, and my shorter trips around the Bay this week, and I'm about 650 miles into the break in. The nice thing is that I got the car at 54500 miles on the clock, so the motor's broken in at 55500.

84 can be fun but most of the time it sucks since it's clogged with traffic. Damn I'm glad I don't live there anymore...

Dude, you should so go out Crow Canyon, and come back Polomares & Niles Canyon... Ok, may be slower average speed, but more fun...

Plus, the car isn't exactly fun to drive... a 4300 rpm rev limit means it's impossible to stay in the boost, and all those twisty canyon roads are perpetually wet this time of year. No reason to risk sliding off into a ditch ruining my FMIC during my break in!

As it is, I gave up after only 2 laps tonight. 84 in the wet is a mess... parts of the hillside are running off over the road, leaving a slippery muddy scum. Plus it's near impossible to see with the combination of wet glass, oncoming headlights, and the inability to heep my head stable over the bumps with such stiff suspension. I figured, better to take more time breaking the car in than to crash it. Hey Mike... will 800 miles be enough? I'm just about there... I could have the car back at Gruppe-S tomorrow (Friday). I'll give you a call.

So Scott has his car back finally. It begs the questions, what's easier to make fun of someone who wishes they had their bugeye, or someone who has one and spent way too much money on it? I don't know the answer, but I think we will all have fun finding out. I may have to finish part II of my Impreza history to commemorate the occasion.
Are you towing it back or gonna try to drive it through the snow? Glad to see you've almost got her back home. JC
