LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

What's the point of taping up your car just for road trips? Do rocks only fly up outside of Tampa Bay?

I have 3M clear bra on the Lambo, shit bounces off of it on the road and on the track. About to take it in for replacement after two years since it does discolor from dirt after a while.

Just FYI. That blue "painters " tape is NOT automotive tape. Its designed for home painting projects. Auto is the green tape thats $8 a roll or so. Thats why the blue tape can damage your paint if left on too long. Go to any auto paint supply and youll never see that blue crap in there.

Buy a bra and be done with it, that painters tape might work okay for one day of autocrossing, but rain and heat will make that tape some nasty stuff after a couple of days.
