After 7 dingless months I got my first ding at the airport parking lot.

Ironically it's where a scratch was pre accident

I'm doing something at evo school but still haven't decided on what it's going to be.

??

Definitely driving. Just haven't decided about which stages to take. I took 1 and 2 last year. I may retake a stage this year.

and 1 · 03-05-2010, 08:12 AM

what did you think about doing both in one weekend? was it overload? do you think just phase 1 would have been enough? i'm trying to decide if i should do just 1, or both 1 and 2

anyone else wanna weigh in on this? baker you did both, right?

larryn · 03-05-2010, 10:00 AM

I've taken Evo 1 (x2), Evo 2 (x2), Evo 3 (x1), and Challenge school (x3). My favorites are Evo 2 and 3, but I don;t think they have evo 3 anymore.

ML · 03-05-2010, 10:09 AM

Doing both in the weekend won't be an overload. Phase 2 will do you the most good. Right now I'm torn bewteen doing both 1 and 2 again or 2 and 3. Larry, you have any thoughts on which way to go?

If there's a 3, I'd do that, since it will open up the door to taking the Challenge school, in the future, if you ever want to.

If I were you, and wanted to do two in a weekend, I would do 2 & 3.

Rachel · 03-05-2010, 12:20 PM

I did 1 & 2 last year. I really enjoyed Phase 2 the most, and felt super afterwards. (Minus Hazard opening my door in the middle of a run...)

you know what's funny about that? i called steve to ask him a few questions about the school, and after he gave me a few of the details, he said something like "well i can't tell you everything...there are a few surprises."

i wonder if there's an easy way for me to disable the interior passenger door handle...how awesome would that be if he tried to open the door on me and couldn't??

Just want to say thank goodness for turning 25, as my motorcycle insurance went down by 3/4!!

Pretty certain Audra started that thread in early December.

larryn · 03-09-2010, 06:47 PM

Dayum, you're good, Mike!

Btw, I spent about 5 hrs on my car after Andy left on Sunday. A couple nice days since then... Isn't it funny how much better you feel driving around a sparkly clean car? (off to NC tomorrow, so it's relegated to my garage to remain clean)

arrutled · 03-09-2010, 07:23 PM

Have fun in my stomping grounds!
