You are kinda close to me, when you finished the miata, hit me up, and we can cruise.

Yesterday we had 2 STi's, a S2000, my GN, a 95 5.0, a 318,and a nice Prelude.

We took some nice country roads and then went mobbin near my house on some backroads. Hella fun day. We grabbed some lunch and then went cruising some more.

Good stuff.

my mechanic who had more money that he knew what to do with somwhow stuffed a 428 ed pink engine into a 933 porsche, it was rediculous couldnt keep it straight. I was amazed how the hell he fit it in thereit looked like rosie o'donnele was stuffed in a size 6 bikini, but not nearly as nasty.

saw a 350 into a miata once, shaft ended up being about a foot long (or so)... i'd think all that torque could flip the **** thing over.

my car goes in for a makeover next year...
