Man what a horrible day I had...between my car being slick as hell from no camber. to my battery tipping over and welding itself to the engine bay...I dunno what worse I could have done.

umh..umh..um. Roomates GF was teching.. 
Also in my defense, my stock airbox usually holds the battery in place between my ac line and the box..so it doesnt go anywhere. She didnt know that I had pulled the box out, and gave me a pass because..well, we live together and she knows my car. After the incident (terminal is still firmly implanted in the crater it burned in my fender well) I took a dr pepper box and bunched it up and crammed it in next to the battery and finished the day without incident.

You mean there's a reason they make you tie the battery down?
I still have fond memories of welding some craptacular battery tie down out of random scraps of metal at 3 AM the morning before an autocross school. So much fun racing on 2 hours sleep. And then on my new car, the first time I removed the tie down (right before an autocross of course) it turned out that it was rusted into oblivion and I had to come up with something quick for the autocross the next day, and that's why I have a corroded battery strap from an 88 Jeep on my car.

Dude, they have tech inspection for a reason.
Doesn't someone else with a Red Honda wagon have dibs on that 91 number.
I forget who it is.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
