    Just a picture to update the thread.
    The car was filthy and had the license plate holder broken to show it is not only abused but also used.

    There's no helmet our government can't crack.
    We were at a track-day. It was good fun! The car stood the spanking very well.

    No. Not even that. The tires were almost new and although they did show the abuse on the edges, they were fine. The brakes took the test very well. MX-5's are never great when it comes to breaking power, but at least they didn't fade. Even the clutch, which was already in a poor condition, keeps taking the daily driving ever since without complain.
    Oh, and the driving wasn't even near good! I post the link to the video of the last few laps so that you can see some of the nice cars in the park. Notice the car on our right when we finally park. Looks familiar? It's for sale BTW!
