Re: Mazda 6 i-ELOOP recuperative braking system

To be fair, any car built in America actively supports the economy. Pretty much every entry model from Toyota, Nissan, VW, Honda, Mercedes, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Subaru have FATP in the USA. I imagine this is mostly due to the tremendous shipping costs associated with large items like cars.

Always reminds me of Gung Ho and that company "Assan" trying to build cars in the USA for the first time. Great movie if you haven't seen it.

So...I'm participating in the CrossFit Open (scaled division) and the workout period happens to fall in line with the entire time I'm at ICSP. My plan is to get my workout out of the way Friday morning at 6:00am at CrossFit BMW (no drinking for me on Thursday). The other available time is 5:30pm. This brings up two things:
1. Would anyone be willing to either provide transportation or loan a vehicle so I can get this thing done?
2. If anyone wants to see me (probably) look absolutely ridiculous, they're more than welcome to come watch. It might actually help to have a small cheering section.

Yes, I realize I'm absolutely crazy for doing this, but it's an important thing to me. Those of you who have known me for years have seen the changes I've gone through. Even though I've only been doing this for two months, there have been even bigger improvements not only in appearance, but the way I feel in general too.

I have extremely important plans Friday morning that involve my bed, but you can borrow my car if you'd like. 5:30pm you can probably borrow it too, barring essential plans.
