Update....MM sticker is on the car
Also, I picked up Dave's set of Mille Miglia M11's....

I think they're pretty attractive looking, and my main reason for purchasing them was that they are the exact same size/dimesions as the stock sawblades...16x7 all around with +35 offset, so I get to re-use the nearly new Yokohama AVS's on the car. I'm going to paint them black (two minute PS job)....

This way I get a feel for how five spoke wheels/different color wheels will look all for a very reasonable price. I'll post up pics when I get that done.
Also, I'm looking at alarms for the car, I'll probably have Jeff cook me up something at his work, as well as turbo timers. I try to do the poor man's turbo timer of sitting in the car for a few minutes letting it idle, but every now and then I'll forget....
The car could also really use a short shifter, but I haven't been able to find the typical "eBay" shifter for a reasonable price, the cheapest I've found being 170 dollars when most other people do just fine with less expensive units. If I'm unable to find anything I'll just put up with the stock shifter for the meantime.

Other than that the car has been dead reliable. I'd like to jack up the front and fix a little issue with the passenger fog light thats been bugging me, but beyond that the cars been perfect. I quickly learned of its rain - manners however when I parked it across two lanes of traffic after sliding the tail out going uphill in the rain last week :oops:
