Short video clip from Speed. It's a couple of minutes long, so dialup users, be prepared to take a nap.

I went out for a qualifying session at Summit Point in my old ITS Sentra SE-R a couple years ago. Went around turn 1 and heard a "thump thump" from the back. Adjusted my mirror and saw my 35mm camera rolling around in the trunk. Drove slowly around, pulled into the pits, popped the trunk and had Karen take the camera out. Luckily it was a 30-year-old Pentax K1000 that I don't think will ever die. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I also had the passenger-side window handle fly off during a qualifying session in the same car. Thought it would be OK until it bounced around and ended up underneath the gas pedal. Again drove slowly around, pulled into the pits and chucked the handle out the window.

Also went out again in the SE-R and again at Summit and didn't realize that the passenger-side door window had gotten moved so I couldn't see a damn thing. Thought I would be OK until I passed somebody and couldn't gauge where in the heck the other car was. Again, drove slowly around, pulled into the pits and had Karen adjust the mirror.

Autocrossing is so much easier. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)
