You know, I had a similar problem with my '94 Taurus SHO. I went on a 300 mile trip, and on the way home that evening, my car started to buck like mad at 4k-4.5k; I kept it below that, and got it home ... slowly. The next day it happened at lower revs. Then lower, and lower. Finally I got my car...

Just wanted to let you guys know that I won't be able to make it tomorrow. Turns out that I'm needed to take a friend to the airport, and then I have to spend the afternoon in La Jolla. I'll make the next one, I promise! :) Anything coming down to San Diego or OC, so its not so far to drive...

I'll be transferring the plates from my MR2, once I get the dealer-issued ones in the mail. They'll read: SAIDIN If anyone out there knows what that's from, you get +10 reference points. :) - John

Scapamouche: I know how you feel - my experience with Cush Mazda in Escondido, CA was bad as well. Not quite that bad, but I cut it off before it could get worse. 1. I made an appointment with the Fleet Manager; she was "at lunch" when I got there. 2. I dealt with a substitute salesman. Nice...

Hey, everyone! I just thought I'd give you this bit of info. I went to pick up my black MSP last night from Irvine Mazda, and was talking with the guy I bought it from while they filled it up. Last week, they got in two MSPs, a Spicey Orange and Black. Both have been sold, but unknown to...

Cool, a Saturday meet! I should be able to make that! Just an FYI, I don't know if you guys/gals would be interested or not... A'Pexi is having their yearly "garage sale" this Sat/Sun in Orange, I believe. I've made it each of the last two years with my MR2 group... While they don't always have...

Re: Re: msp wallpapers Thank you, Henry Ford. ;) - John

Go Ernie! :D - John

Braden, SLO is a bit further than I (ideally) wanted to go. But if it's a great deal, maybe it's worth it. What can you tell me? Feel free to e-mail me if you'd like. Thanks, guys! - John

Steph, No offense, but I want a black one. Orange just isn't my color. ;) I actually all but own one with Cush Mazda in Escondido. I've signed all the paperwork, all I have to do is give them the money and take delivery. However, they don't seem to want my money... They're not giving me...

Krillin, Shoot me an e-mail; I'd like to talk to both/either dealer. grimolf@cox.net - John

'88 Toyota Camry - 4 cyl '94 Ford Taurus SHO - V6 '93 Toyota MR2 - N/A '84 Mazda RX-7 (still have and drive occasionally) '93 Toyota MR2 - Turbo ... Coming soon: '03 Black MSP! - John

Agreed! :) I saw those pics in the other thread, and was like, "Damn! ... Too bad it doesn't rain more out in San Diego!". To be honest, I actually miss the rain and other weather... I grew up in VA, and really enjoyed it. Sun is nice and all, but when it's always sunny, it can be a little...

Damn, you beat me to it! :) Looks like I'll have to make sure to attend the next SoCal meet. ;) - John PS. With luck, I'll have a pic with my MSP on Tuesday. :D

Well, since Ned likely won't get on until after school, I'll field this one. If you have proper lighting, it's about a 5-10 minute job. We started the job at like 5:30 with some light, but it got dark out, quick. Ned's flashlight was out of batteries, so the main problem we ran into was...

Go to: MS Miata Pic 1 MS Miata Pic 2 MS Miata Pic 3 Enjoy! Notes: The entire front, including fenders, is made of carbon fiber. You had to get up close to see it, but it is. Very slick looking, and well-done. - John

heh... I've got this shot of the rim, but that was it. (Although I do have some nice pics of the MS Miata!) At the time, I wasn't looking for a new car. After a short while, I realized I needed more space and a better car for commuting, so I started looking around... And then my best friend...

Prospective owner here, with a first post. :) Thought I'd share this photo with you guys... I took this at the 2003 LA Auto Show, and it's of the 2003.5 Protoge. Enjoy! - John
