Guys, I want to run something by all of you. How many of you have heard about The Mitty? Well, it is a classic car race @ Road Atlanta, this years event will have nothing but Mazda's! the first RX-7 prototype, the LeMans car, Dempsey Racing's RX-8's, and other classics. Grassroots Motorsports has asked that Team Ohio get involved with the project, as requested by Mazdaspeed Motorsports. So all of you cats, the hang with us at LMS on the weekend are a part of the team. There will be parade laps, MX-5 cars to be used for auto-x,a beer party, lots of giveaways. We want to have the longest continuous line of Mazda the world has ever seen. The event will be held in April, I will have all of the information tomorrow, inclsuding the poster that they had designed.

If you are interested in possibly attending, let me know, as we will have carte blanch at the event. Free mazdaspeed swag, Mitty t-shirts, hats and other good stuff. If the wife or you significant other has issues, Partrick Dempsey will be hanging with us, as he is going to be driving the LeMans car on track!

Damn, if this was in the summer, I might of had a chance to go. I know my wife would be down with meeting Patrick Dempsey. I hear he is one hell of guy to be around as well. If you need any help getting the word out, let me know. I have started doing some social media stuff with Mazda and would love to help in getting more owners involved.

They used to have a shop not far from my place, in Cuyahoga Falls. I drove past it all the time. They came out to an auto-x event that was put on at Northfield Park, and they ran one of the cars.
 
I called mazda in cascade to check and see if they had the strut mount in stock. The guys wanted my vin # and I told him I didnt have it off side then I gave him my year/model. He told he he couldnt tell me unless he had the last four digits of my vin # why???
 
if it's anything like GM parts, the VIN tells when the car was produced. They might have a VIN break or something. The last 4 doesn't really tell you much. You get a lot more with the last 8.
 
Lewis7789;5535958 My 2 co-workers and I helped a new BMW 3 series out of a snow bank after work. The owner was just flooring it trying to get it out and we kept telling him to not use so much throttle. He wouldn't listen and just kept flooring it so he sprayed us with dirty snow and drove off as we pushed him out. Not a "thank you" wave or anything. Jersey plates. He should stay in Jersey. (Sorry said:
i know it's 2 days later - but that made me laugh out loud!! no worries, evan. i know jersey drivers are rude ... ha ha
 
okay I called back and ordered it he asked for the last 8 digits whatever my warrenty is prolly already screwed lol
 
Was it that Stingray Concept car in the preview?

Nope, not a concept. It's a Corvette Gran Sport. Built in the mid sixties by Chevy to compete with the cobra and cobra Daytona among others. Very fast and successful cars. Obviously the one for the movie is a knock off. Last i saw a GS sell was years ago for about 2.5 mil.
 
don't forget to them about kl's either

"Hey, there's this one motor, and it has like 3 main variants, but we're not really sure how many exist, or what parts come in which version, but if I talk long enough, maybe I can convince you to put one in all of your cars."
 
see, after they hire you, talk'em into an entry level kit car with a kl
