But you forgot the flux capacitor!!! You have to upgrade to the latest and greatest after doing all that.....

^ I could use one right now to get my car going. Hell a Flux Capacitor would last longer and be more realiable then these rotary engines... jeeze...

speaking of reliability i threw a CEL on the drive up here. got it pulled for cat efficiency. my supercat lasted like 20k. time to go back to stock

my rx7 made the drive with 0 problems. they should go back to 12a carbed. soo much easier to deal with.

Engine lost compression, 1 rotor is dead. CAT is gone as well, so looks like I'm sitting this one out

Lol if you want me to show you how to drive I'll ride with you if not I have the Automatic Miata, it sucks but it does handle better than the 8 (stock for stock) I'll just be lacking in the hp. It takes her forever to get to 100.

awww well I know the feeling man. Money is a little tight for everyone right now. Luckily there is always next month right? Or whenever you think you can make it. Sorry to see you can't but we hope you can someday.

Hmm well if you want any tips to make it through bootcamp I can shoot you my number. I do know its much easier since the new laws that were imposed. They used to and when I joined were allowed to physically beat you lol. Emotionally and mentally abuse you. Now its the kinder gentler military lol. I can though give you some really good success tips to help you make it through without being noticed. I also have some pretty good workout tips we developed in Iraq when we didn't have gym but had some down time and wanted to work out.

well thats ok, the forecast calls for rain stopping at midnight tonight, then starting back up at 6pm tomorrow. If it does get nasty things will have to be slowed way down or cut off depending on how bad it gets. We all know what happens if you try to trek water in the 8 lol.
