    This would be a weekend toy, not a daily driver. The mistake was trying to daily a miata. Never again.

    EDIT: Also, it's a $1200 car and I'm expecting it to be in frankly terrible shape. The one low res photo reveals a body panel that isn't quite straight. I'm not even considering the thing if it's been in a wreck.

    I also honestly think this car is long since sold. It went up last Saturday, we're in the middle of convertible season. If it's any good it's sold by now.

    But you weren't the person he talked to when he was griping about his other Miata. :P

    Exactly, so it doesn't bother us.

    I autocrossed this weekend and had a blast again. This intensifies my desire for a cheap beater to flog on the weekends. The Mazda 2 did great, but I wouldn't want to be downshifting into first on a regular basis.

    Get a 70s Mini and drop a Ford small-block in it.

    So...I haven't posted my new toy as of 2 months ago. I have a white Subaru BRZ Limited with the 6 speed manual. It is amazing...I love RWD much. Mine is number 542.

    Shit man, they're crazy enough with the 1275 racing engine.

    I got to touch one at the LA Auto Show. That is such a sexy car.

    Out and about in the M Coupe tonight. Some punk kids in an Impreza WRX tried to race me. I let them get about 5 meters ahead before downshifting and blowing past them, hitting 100 before I let them see my brake lights.

    I love Illinois roads on summer nights.

    I kinda miss being a punch kid and street racing people. But I like my new approach of not trying to die as well.

    The road was empty and straight for miles. It was the safest place for an illegal late-night public street race.

    I don't. Because not being a punk kid is pretty alright, and it's not like I can't still race people.

    Oh I still race people, just not on the street. My friend and I were in a lap face off just this weekend. I just edged him out. ^_^

    Track time is fuckin' expensive. And do you really think The Mighty Van would pass safety check?

    We were autocrossing, $70 for the whole day. I got 18 runs.

    Slave cylinder on my power brakes has sprung a leak, looks like the seals are shot.

    Youch.

    Gonna post this in the "Videos you made" thread as well, but relevant here.

    Ken block, showing a fine example of not giving a shit, when his car has a cabin fire on lap two, so he proceeds to race another three laps with flames in the cabin, till the fire destroys his ECU and forces him out.

    You can't actually buy those, the waiting list is so long.*
