It's official! I'm making my first trip since I graduated back down to school this weekend. Anything going down, anyone want to hang out and maybe grab some lunch/take a scenic drive? For the most part I'll be keeping it lo-pro with my girlfriend, but I'm always down to chill 8)

Hopefully I'll be able to make it down in my WRX. I had a slow leak in one of my rear tires when I came home tonight, so we'll see how she looks in the morning. I guess I could always swap out to my stockers, but that requires effort!

Some of you may have noticed I added a '90 miata to my sig a few weeks ago.
Some of you may have noticed a vehicle under a car cover at my house at the cookoff.
Some of you probably put 2 and 2 together.

Yep, I bought Miata #2. It was too damn cheap to pass up. Under $500 cheap. And no, it doesnt run. What fun would that be?



So whats wrong with it?


The Bad:
-Busted timing belt
-Hasnt run in over 2 years
-Electronics may be buggered. When the owner hooked up a battery the lights did funky things. Also there was a CB radio of some sort that looks to have been ripped out in haste
-Apparently a squirrel called the car its home for a while. When i took off the undertray it was packed with leaves and grass, and there was a half a walnut
-It took mazda 5 or 6 years to figure out how to paint miatas white, so the paint is peeling in a few spots
-one tire has a slow leak
-cracked rear window
-no rearview window
-90s had a short nosed crank that can crack and kill the engine. Im hoping that the broken timing belt didnt expidite this process

The Good
-the price
-straight, rust free body
-uh....shit...maybe this was a bad idea...

At the encouragement of several notes from my neighbors threatening to tow the car, Matt helped me get it into the driveway. Now the fun begins.

Plans for it: Fix timing belt, flush fluids, drain gas tank, new battery. Pray it runs. Fix electricals that Im pretty sure are at least mildly fugged up. Pray harder.
Drive it around. Have fun. Resist b00st. Resist building another SM.

Oh, and thanks to RJ and Snobeck for helping me load it up and tow it from baltimore.

arent they cute

Thoughts, opinions.... maybe i'll just implement it.

Tell me what you think.

Sorry about the outage. I know you all were concerned with the level of service that Nexpoint was providing us. I brought our concerns to Nexpoint and they are planning to migrate our site to a more stable, newer, and faster server on Thursday. Keep in mind that the site will be down again if this happens so no bitching about it going down again... lol.
Cheers!
