haha good to hear you'll finally be hitting the streets with us again, hopefully you get a new engine...the only downside would be that you would have to wear the engine in

haha you are quite the trendsetter! yea this is my first time, we got a mazda 3, but my mom wanted to drive it cause she's lookin for a new car, so i'm drivin our truck and i must say, it's weird reaching for the stick shift when it's not there! haha.
they were pretty friendly, and they better get used to this! or just fix the problem all together! haha


BTW, how's everyon doin?

dang, I think my first one went around 50k or so, maybe 47-48...ugh...we really got the wrong version of this engine, they should have put in the 2nd gen Rx-7 version, those seem to run forever.

Im gonna hit him up for an upgrade if we can get him out here. Im actually just gonna see if he can piece a kit together for me so I dont have to buy a used kit then ask for an upgrade. Save some time and grief. SO there will be 3 MM cars out here!

that would be awesome, i might be able to get us some shop space for a day if Les lets me depending on when all this goes down. We could probably do it on a Sunday for sure with his permission etc. (if anyone's interested)

That would be incredible! Granted I dont know how long it takes to do an install and if hes gonna have 3 to do, we might have to do it over 2 days, theyre not open on Mondays right??

I'm prety sure we could probably work something out, Monday they're normally closed but Les and Adrian are up there all the time as they're swamped right now with all the shows and Texas Relays comin' etc. Either way, I'm about 99.9% sure he'll be okay with it, we've done mini-tech days there before, as long as we don't trash the place

I got hit... GTO was outside. That sucked. A few of them sounded like gunfire. I hope it's not bad. I didn't see anything massive, but the car was wet and couldn't see exactly what damage was done. Made me sick.

the area around my office (riata trace parkway) had so much hail on the ground it looked like snow, I'm still shocked at all the vehciles I saw today driving around in the pouring rain without windows, seemed like almost every 5th or 6th car had SERIOUS damage
