    MSM or sc/TC NB...?

    I'm so confused. So the wife finally said "Why don't you go buy your car?" I am trying to decide between a F/I NB (like a 10AE or an 01 or newer 6 speed with a SC or TC) or a MSM. I drove two MSM's today and I like them a lot, but I am not sure if I would be better off buying something that is...

    Miata shopping

    As you may or may not have read, I most likely totalled the P5. I am most likely going to replace it with a Miata. I have been skimming through info at miata.net and I think I narrowed it down. I am looking at a 2000 or newer and probably an LS. My first question is about the suspension...

    My turn to vent...

    So my uncle works for a large petroleum company. Everybody on the board has heard of it. They posted on their insider job site that a bunch of plant operator postions are available. It is shift work so 12hrs at a time, but it is 4 days on three days off, with every 4th week off... I can do that...

    Robot Insurance

    I was just watching the Price is Right, and all of the old people commercials that they play reminded me of this SNL skit, and I had to find it. I am sure you all have seen it, but here's to the past: http://www.robotcombat.com/video_oldglory_hi.html "And when they grab you with their...

    MP3 ECU model number...

    OK, I am trying to get an ECU from a local recycler. I have already found one online for $175 shipped but would like to get a local one if I can. Anyways, I gave him the Mazda part number (FS9N-18-881), but he says that he needs the number that has 12A650 in the middle of it someplace. I think...

    New toys today...

    I got some new toys today: I had to drive like 12 hours to get this stuff from my dad's house, but it was way worth it! He had a bunch of tools that he didn't want/need anymore that I got. In addition to the above, I got a radial arm saw, recripricating saw, drill press, grinder w/...

In my mirror I saw a sport bike pretty far back behind my friend. When he caught up, my friend pulled off a little and let him...
