I noticed that as well. To that I say just go buy one, or would 4 cars be too many in the stable?

well the m3 and the fj are my old mans but ive semi taken over the m3 and it would be mine if i wouldnt have to drive in the snow. the fj is our shared car but he mainly drives it haha. but to compensate i want a miata and i am pretty close to getting one, i just need to find the right one!

1971 Mercedes Benz 280 SL (silver w/4-speed manual)

Weather was great last Sunday so I swapped out my RX-8 rims for my bronze Rotas. Now if I could only get Jeremy to respond to my PM...then I can get rid of my 15" snow tires.

Anyone one looking for some Toyo Proxes4 195/50R16? I'm thinking about putting snows on the Rotas.

Hey everyone. Great News!!
I have been trying to find out what is going on for large events next year in New England and it looks like we may have a few to look forward to. They are looking at having one in upper NJ - central NY in April. I will keep you posted or check out the thread called Mazda Meet. Hopefully it won't fall on the same weekend as out spring cleaning. We are also trying to have the meet in NJ like you did in 2004 again this year. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted once the details are worked out after the new year.

Maybe I'll take a ride over for this one, my GLI will need a good cleaning after this winter =)
I go to the DIY washes, but I never use the brush, usually, i just get a buddy or two with their cars that need a hose-down, and split the cost of spraying them all, fairly well, just to get the salt and dirt off. If a nice day comes around then I'll wax afterwards.

And since you guys are experts now at painting headlights, maybe I can take advantage of that too, if I havn't spent the money on new ones yet.

so yea, Count me in.
And if i have to, I'll throw my old Mazda emblem on my dash, just to make it seem legit. =D

Two road trips and she needs a bath already? Better clean the engine bay too.

he'll get back to you later...he's adding another coat of zanio and polishing the valve cover!

I'm sure he already is. He probably gutted the interior, pulled the engine, repainted the block, front bumper, etc.. and did a full wash/clay/wash/wax

now if only he'd open up a used car dealership.. low mileage, mint japanese vehicles ftw!

My new sig should read, "Master of the Automotive Feng Shui".

It was a biz trip and I had to scoot back home right after or I would have given you a call Mark.
