PDX - Performance Driving eXperience - SCCA's take on Driver's Education programs or as the rest of the world calls it, "Track Events". I recently sent a half-finished email to all of our PDX instructors...why? Because someone handed me a large frozen Margarita - apparently my phone decided that it should spite me since it wasn't receiving a large, refreshing beverage made with Tequilla... Rec'd several "Huh" and "WTF" responses - nothing like being the Chief Instructor and dazzling your minions with your computer prowess (or lack thereof). ----- Original Message ---- > From: Steve Arguello <[email protected]> > To: Volkswagen a2 16v discussion list <[email protected]> > Sent: Thu, July 22, 2010 11:55:48 AM > Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] Upper Strut Mounts > > Sorry.
