Yeah, I drive my beater daily, in the rain, in the snow, and to the track. Even after I have snapped an axle, I was able to replace it and drive it home that day. I have since replaced them with better axles.

I love driving to the track, run a 10 second blast on all season radials, get kicked off the track, then ready myself for the drive home, and watch the 11 and 12 second guys put their rides back on their trailers along with their monster slicks! I can not imagine having a 12 second car and only running it 5 miles a year!

Someday, I hope to run at a track that will allow a wet run. With the wipers on fast, I bet I would still pull off a 11 second run.
