Can I co-drive someones STX machine?
Well, I just did a preliminary run through of my taxes. The unemployment situation (and strategically selling a few crap stocks including the company I used to work for plus itemizing education and tuitions fees (Hope and Lifetime Learning tax credit)) has lowered my tax bracket. That combined with the fact that I always claim zero means I should be getting $3k+ back from the government.
This could mean I'm returning to the autox circuit. At the very least I think I'll renew my SCCA membership so I can do an event every now and then.
Until I sort out my $$$ situation I was wondering if I could pimp myself out as a tire warmer for a few events? Chris, Rob, Ed???? I may moonlight in some other classes as well... some CSP, CS, and DS drivers owe me some rides.
Cheers, Joe

I could certainly use another set of driver skills right now in helping to sort out the car (and MY driving skills 
). If you wanna co-drive my Rex, let me know....

Basically, take me, who's paid $2009 in tutuion. Theoretically, this $2000 was taxed already, cause you when you worked, you got paid, and then taxes where taken. So they are supposed to repay you the amount of taz you got taken on the that tuition, so me, that's 2000 worth of taxes...
just federal is 6%, so thats $120
I dunno either

yep. that sounds just about right. i payed around $2000 for tuition and i got back ~$180. it just sucks because i payed over $6,000 in taxes and i only got back around $1750. claiming 0.
