One of my coworkers has a 94 twin turbo RX7 in mint condition with 10,000 miles on it. I installed my old DEFI boost gauge and a downpipe on it last weekend. I'm not gonna lie, it got the juices flowing again.

ha... Amy and I went to lunch in the Miata today and she asked if I still like it and if I miss the Evo (I've had the Miata 4 months for those not keeping score). The only thing I don't like about the Miata are the seats and the lack of power.... but the form factor is great (size, convertible, 2 seater). Also the no payments is a huge win.

So she's cool with my plan to swap cash cars every year or so That will help keep the itch at bay. So many <10k cool *** cars out there!

JJ get another S2k...

Yes, I could definately get an S2000 for cheaper, and put the money I'm saving into a supercharger for it.

I was going to say, "crabs belong in the sea, not in your pants"

But I can see this is a car related itch. Took all the fun out of it for me.

Seriously though, you can pick up a 350z for $6k or something stupid like that now. I will always love those cars, since it was my first real car. So slow in a straight line, but so much fun.

Mmmm...$5000 350z w/blown engine just begging for a 5.7L Nissan 32v V8. It'd be a Japanese muscle car!

I talked with Don. He has one that I would want. I would go with an MR again, that tranny is just flat awesome. The color would be Wicked White.

But I tell ya, if Mitsubishi would make the MR in the Blue I would be all over it. That blue is beautiful.

Nothing is gonna happen until next weekend, if anything happens.
