Those folks in Houston do some ridiculous things to their cars, including their 
roadsters.  I saw a
roadster there a few years ago that had a suspension lift kit installed, 
similar to what some people
put on their trucks.  The ironic part is that he was competing in an SCCA Solo 
2 event.  Ever seen a
roadster jacked up about 2 feet in the air?   I guess he didn't understand the 
concept of roll
centers, etc.
