The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Oh man, sucks to hear about the deer, Sho. Glad it wasn't more damage and you can still drive your car though.
 
oh man. Glad it wasn't worse. I hit a deer before and had to replace the bumper, grill, headlight, and the right fender. It was a huge pain. And kept finding the hair everywhere for a long time.
 
So Fez, now that the MS6 is sold and you're down to the V and the bike are you going to get another car/toy? I know you've said you can't beat a 1000cc bike for cost/speed.
 
I'm working on it, peaches. Piecing together parts for the motor build as soon as I pay off the spare motor, then some sort of BT

You will never beat a bike for cost/speed/thrill, but eventually I'll need something to travel in. The V is just no good for anything over a couple of hours, but in the winter it's a beast and going snowboarding I could not think of a better vehicle in the price range.
I was seriously considering an is/gs350, but gawd those look bland in anything other than white or black. Also, it'll have to be f sport, which bumps it another 5-10k. The problem I have is that everyone is starting to buy those and it will no longer be a unique car. I don't like blending in - just not my thing. But not actively looking either way. Not having a monthly payment is a beautiful thing.
 
Heidy Ho my neighbors to the West. By chance anyone on here named Curt from Mentor or know a Curt from Mentor? I got an email from him with a phone number asking me to call him regarding Miata light bezels I'm selling. Only places I listed them f/s were on m.net and a local Miata forum so not sure how he got my email? (shrug) I've called twice from work but both times get an automated voicemail system.

Yeah, in my MS6. I haz no Miata.

Aw shoot.....thought we might have lured you over with our rainbow sprinkled cookies. :)
 
I was actually really close to buying one and would still like one someday. Riding in Peaches NA Miata was a hoot at the auto-x yesterday. But until then I've got my MS6 and will get a DD with enough room for my bass cabs (to slapa-da-bass, not dat flex).
 
found a slightly used matching Falken tire on ebay with about 90% tread life left for half the price as new. Just need one more. Stock market is going a little crazy today and work is boring.

and for my idiot story, started getting a noise and vibration in the steering wheel that was really bad on the way home from work last night. Definitely driver's side front. Didn't make noise so much on acceleration or deceleration but definitely when coasting or not under load. 2 of my lug nuts were completely loose, 1 kinda loose and the other 2 were able to be tightened more. checked the other wheels and they were fine.

Not one of my best moments that's for sure.

I got an amazing super duper Mazda discount yesterday. (wiggle)

Thanks again for all the parts, Fez. And to Will for letting me fill the bed of his truck with goodies. :)
 
Thoughts on the Roush Mustang?

YUM!!
And from what I've seen / read, those actually handle quite well on the track!
What a lovely piece of machinery.
