Woohoo... 4k in damages. Sst cooler is damaged as well so that's gonna be replaced... LICP is just stratched up won't be replaced but took 150 bucks off the deductable so I will pay 350 for the whole thing but the sad thing is that I will have to buy 3 tires becaust they will get me only 1 tire... Back rim is scuffed up too but they will just buffer it. They said they could get me a new rim but I don't have the money to get 3 new rims...

Im dumb.... whats MSR vs EC? esplain lucy
I love the rims but if I had the chance I would replace them with the Advan RS (black) but I cant just yet. As for selling them to you, I couldnt do that to you. They are not in "great" condition. All but 1 of them has scratches and curbed damage (not bent but scratched badly) . I had to curb it really bad once (which ended me taking air with 2 wheels and I drove on the left two wheels for about 30 yards) because a girl texting on her phone decided to change lanes while I was beside her... It was the rims getting curbed or my entire front driver side fender/lights getting destroyed. Though if I do get rid of them, I will let you know and either fix them up or sell em for -fixing cost.

i would go miata. cant beat the value, affordability, toughness, and how fun they are to drive imo... no time in my schedule to find one online though. like the idea and sounds like a great buy!
on a side note, I paid 4k for my miata, put coilovers, poly bushings, rollbar, race seat, harnesses, brakes(basically all chassis stiffening brakes and safety + minor weight removal, no motor mods) did all required routine maintenance, took it all off after 2 years and 30k later, then sold it for 4800 plus got money for my mods .

Haha. I will let you guys know when I replace them. Not anytime soon though lol. Especially now that I learned that the insurance company doesn't feel that they “owe” me for 3 more tires... I gotta order 3 new tires now bah.
Eagles Canyon vs. MSR.
ECR is no fun. Only two real corners IMO and if you're in an underpowered car, the back straight is pretty damn boring.
I think that MSR is a great learning track because all the turns are different and you can use that knowledge and apply it anywhere.
I like Hallett and HHR too (in that order).
