| And, no, the Bright Red Tow Hook isn't an homage to the ricer crowd. It's a functional piece to get her out of trouble if the situation arises. Could happen considering how some of those Honda Challenge guys drive, as Steve Rockwood could attest to in Fontana. |

| At the time of this writing, Michele had Recaro Seats and Sparco Belts to hold her in. She should be sitting in new Takata seats and harnesses soon. Yep, Takata makes FIA seats now, too. |

| Most race cars are bare, I mean, Edik Stepanyan's car was very bare! Michele's car, on the other hand, could still be street driven. It still has functional A/C, horn, air bag steering wheel (which is disabled while racing), forward carpet… |
 |
| Power mirrors! My first car didn't even have power mirrors or windows and she has both! |
 |
| She even added her own little shift knob, wait, she has cup holders, too? My Q45 doesn't have a cup holder. |
 |
| It even has the Scion/Pioneer stereo that's installed by the dealer. Basically, she will be the most comfortable driver on the grid with being able to listen to her iPod in the A/C. The tC has very minimal sound deadening material removed, too. It's mostly everything behind the seats that is removed. Eddie mentioned to me that if they were to remove the Roll Cage, it is possible to run this as a street car. Screw it, I'd drive it with a roll cage in it! Well, until my head hits it on the first bump. I have a hard enough time with Japanese cars and sun roofs, wonder how bad my headroom would be with a roll cage. Probably worse. |
