Don't forget the low ground clearance and loud exhaust. I'm going to be commuting in my SP car the rest of this week and probably all of next week while the daily driver is down. My kidneys are usually begging for mercy after a couple days of abuse. Luckily my exhaust is quiet right now but it won't be by next March.
I agree about the semantics of the class name. It should probably Prepared Street. Maybe the Prepared classes should be Fully Prepared or Race Prepared.

This because my daughter's car suffered broken fingers in its clutch pressure plate and so she took my van to drive. This left me with no other means of transportation except the Phrog until I manage to get the clutch changed in her car because Carolyn takes the family Vibe to her work.

Hoosiers last used in 2005 don't do much to help either. Then there are the puzzled looks from the public when they see a strange little car dressed up like a real race car with decals and numbers. The car is street legal, licensed, and insured but I gotta say that "Street Prepared" is not the same as "Street Comfortable"!
