Well ... 12 months are up. No new maintenance expenditures since the 9 month report above. The car has been reliable.

In the last 3 months, I have taken it to the track once for a track day experience. I am now a lot more familiar with the car and was enjoying driving it on the track. I did notice that the Kumho tires gripped decently for about 5 laps and then the performance went away. So I did about 5-6 laps and came into the pits and relaxed for 5 minutes and then repeated the lapping. Also I found that after 12-15 minutes on the track my concentration would go away or I would try to get ambitious and make some mistakes in corner entry So I guess I have to improve on that aspect as well. Its amazing that race car drivers can focus for so long in racing conditions w/o mistakes.

Life has been good to me and the 348

The mileage tally for the full year is 5820 miles. Quite a lot isn't it.
