New toy

[RC3]

So a friend wrecked his car. I, being awesome and somewhat bored with my current mode of transportation, sold it to him.  In my quest for a new vehicle, I came at a massive fork on the road.  A nice WRX that needed motor, or a blurple miata.  Needless to say, the embarrassment on my brothers face when I picked him up at school in it was the greatest feeling I have ever felt. You cant hide your face with the top down, and the radio allowed all his friends to see him driven away to the sound of lady gaga. I threw my dignity out of the window, but it was so worth it.  I will upload a picture of the pocked rocket as soon as possible.

Should have picked him up in the motorless WRX. It was the decent thing to do.

I love it! But you realize he won't ever forget this.

Had a Miata. Sold in on the TGO board. Wish I never had, miss that car a lot.

They are bad ass. I seen my first one in Germany in 1992. You could hear something was a miss then I realized what it was and was in awe.

It is killing me that I had a chance to pick it up for $2500. bad engine. It wasnt until it was sold that I found a re manufactured turboed engine for $1500. I debated on shooting myself over that one. I could have bought both of them, and the engine and still have cash for maybe a pistol. Well, thats stretching it. Money for gas and oil.

He will not admit it, but he had a lot of fun driving it. 

 

I also have done a few things to it, replaced the door panels and the seats. One door panel was bad, but I got two in fantastic shape for $160, so it was a no brainer.  The tan leather seats where worn and ripped, so I got two black leader seats in almost impeccable shape for $175.  All I have to do now is replace or repair the top, has a rip, fix a broken bumper clip, and get an RX8 shifting knob.  Did some research on the vin, and BAM. Special Edition LS model. I knew the six speed transmission was weird, since 95% of them are five speed.  Shes going to clean up really well. But deep down inside, I miss my RX8.

Oh, and the color isnt blurple. Its the SE edition Strato Blue.  I will be getting it detailed and will post after photos. I only wish hardtops were NOT so expensive.

Congrats on a great find buddy. I know you'll treat her well.

What's up with the pink shirt? I never knew too many people to color coordinate their clothes with cars,.

[hipower]

I think that's the little brother...at least I hope so. lol

[RC3]

Yeah. To this day he wont admit that he enjoyed driving it.  And plus, im almost pale and he is all tan from track and soccer.  And a good 120lb skinnier. 

[RC3]

Oh, and the tan leather seats are gone. They were ripped and way too worn. Now it has a set of nice, black leather seats.  I miss cloth seats. Didnt bake me while i am driving. Something about marinating in your own juices is a rather weird thing.
