My other car is a Truck!!

[Meierznutz]

I have a 90 Miata that I have just begun an LS-1 swap on, and I have owned an 82 Rx-7 and an 88 323-GTX in the past. My current daily driver is an 02 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab with a Cummins Turbo Diesel under the hood. She's a big girl but she can dance. I found a stripper with no pw/pl/or the extras that tend to break and cost money in the long run. It has a rubber floor mat instead of rugs so its easy to keep clean. The 6 speed stick keeps the motor on the boil but with all that torque shifting is many time just a habbit rather than a need. I made a few upgrades like a CON-OFE 13" clutch like they use in the Freightliner Tractors, then I rebuilt the turbo and installed a bigger compressor wheel. Now I can push 42psi of boost. Since I plow and tow with her, I installed a Banks Brake and Monster Exhaust. New injectors worth 100hp are comming as well as a chip to really wake her up. I waffled the bed this last storm so when I repaint the new one this spring, I'll have to do something crazy with the paint. I have a friend that does air brush work on show cars/bikes and he wants to try something different.... go ahead...play.
Other Beasts in the stable include two that are for sale... an 89 Mustang GT Rag that is really cool but has to go to help fund the Miata, and an 88 T-bird Turbo coupe that I bought for my Dad before he got sick. I hate to see that thing in the driveway and may just burn it to get it out of here...breaks my heart to look at it. Enough of that though...
The wife has a cute little Jeep Liberty. I wish it was the diesel but it gets her from A to B. I want to give her the Mustang but she wont drive it because of the warmed up 5.0 Does she not know the guy she married????

MY other car is a truck, but it's also a Mazda!

I have a 94 Mazda B4000 4x4. It's a beater. We go muddin' some time.

Quick video of my brother driving it around a little backyard ATV track. Bad quality cause it was taken on my phone.

We still have our '94 B4000. We bought it new in October of '94 and have just over 100K miles on it. I looked at buying a new truck; but, I decided the old one is plenty good enough for use as a beater. It's still in very good shape; and, everthing still works on it. I keep it in good shape because my wife drives it, some.

We've had several Mazdas, along the way; but, my favorites are still the Miatas. Our latest, with the LS6 engine, is my favorite of those, though. The LT1 RX-7 I just sold was neat; but, the Miata is better, by far. We'll be showing it, shortly. I still need to get paint on it. The Roush will also be shown. My wife will be showing that.

Life is good.
