It would be interesting to continue the analogy out to what it means when I beat an RDX on the track, or drive a Phi after it smacks me down... but I'll save that as an exercise for your imaginations.

Anyway, here's something I do worry about, and it's something that kind of bugged me in the past when I talked to new people getting an RDX. Because Corally has so many running changes, it's hard to know what you're going to get when you buy a kit. With the foam kits that move fast, you're probably going to get a pretty recent revision. But with the rubber kits, and its lower popularity in the states, it's hard to know. I was hovering over the buy button on a Phi after a particularly bad week of racing last week, but that held me back a bit. I don't mean to be critical, it's just one of the drawbacks to going with running changes instead of updated kits/names. It's a little daunting to jump in in the middle of a car's life.

Alas, a little birdy whispered in my ear and helped me smooth out my existing car and make things fun again while I mull over my decision. Thanks little birdy! :-)
