The problem I had running a netter's leased Honda was the seat belt was
useless. One hole in the floor was all I needed, but the lessee figured the
lessor would have a corporate heart attack at return time. So we spent the
summer using 80% of our energy staying in the driver seat. Still it was
great fun, and trouble-free autocrossing. All I ever did was change tires
twice a weekend.
