    Tried to convince a S2000 owner that a Tesla is a better car. He was a tough nut.

    Remember the powder blue color of the first Ford Broncos? Those were the mine vehicles at a mine I worked at in Death Valley. A new surveyor had scratched his up and was worried, not realizing that the mine vehicles were all trashed within a month. I convinced him that if he took a can of white spray paint and blue spray paint and sprayed together, he could cover the scratches.

    Swoooopy circles. I'm laughing again, all these years later. I bet he's telling the same story somewhere .

    S2000 has a lot of cred among motorsports drivers. I'll try to form an unbiased opinion.

    Cruel!

    I assume the mine went bankrupt due to repair bills...
