Just hopped out of Andy's car and OMG, the hype is real. Seriously impressed by the CRX, and seriously excited to take it on One Lap next year. It drives like a Civic Type R missing 1000 lbs. 

It's amazing how much difference there is between a full on race build and a mass produced street car :)

For the EV nerds: Here's our trip data from the tow. We started with 90% battery.

Another tradition: Post-track day data review. Andy suggested we go back to the track tomorrow and improve. He was joking... mostly.

The frunk is tied with "doesn't keep asking me to pour $100 into the tank" as my favorite feature.

The ac ranks right up there.  "Arctic Wind" is an apt description. Tom is convinced its residential ac.

PS: I need to figure up the charging bill for you...

The average residential electricity rate in Austin, TX is 12 ¢/kWh. I charged 51.3 kWh after the trip to the track, so that was a $6.16 adventure. But I bought dinner so I think we're square. laugh

The truck's first charge at your house was 55.02 kWh, which totals up to $6.60.

Total amount of electricity stolen from Andy Hollis: $12.76

Okay sorry but the name of this place is giving me anxiety.

Does it rhyme with "Sourdough," like the bread? Or is it a clever spelling of the name "Gordo's" like the toroid-shaped homunculus is actually named Gordon but this is what his friends call him?

Generally "Mexican Coke" or any "Mexican" soda is made with actual cane sugar, not the high fructose corn syrup that is in almost EVERY food product we have in the US.

Ack, the pun!   I'm betting the name is a combination of gordo = fat en Espanol (tag line is "Big. Fat. Donuts.") with a MilSpeak-style abbreviation of Gourmet Doughnut

Aren't Mexicokes everywhere? Not as common as the plastic bottles and easy to find in TX, but I assumed they were distributed nationwide when I found them in a corner store in Brooklyn.

Around my part of the north east the only time you find cane sugar Coke is around passover, look for the kosher mark. Otherwise suck corn.

It's pronounced "Gordo's" and yes, they were delicious!
