And then conduct my own crash test experiment or flight test off a cliff with it!

Any color ideas? I a, thinking black to go with the wheels and eventual CF hood, mirrors. I am torn about the wing though. Should I get the MS wing in CF to match the hood?

My girlfriend gave me Vanity Plates of my choice for one of my Hanukkah gifts...I can't seem to decide what to put on there...here are my current top picks but I am not set by any means.

I did a hack photoshop job so pardon me...click for larger pics please .

How about TRUE?

I think Shift9K looks good.
REVTO9K would be good too.
REV2 9K is also an option I don't think a character between letters is required.

Not sure if I like the hyphen in there, but that is probably because of my need for balance.

oh I forgot about REVTO9K that was on my old list

There are competing reasons for both.

1. SHIFT9K=Shift signfys MT transmission (well could be the triptronic style I guess) and 9K well you know Red line and Rotary Engine goodness (although the S2000 goes to 9K the engine sounds like it is trying to pinch a loaf at those revs)

2. REVTO9K=same meaning in regards to the 9K redline...Rev is associated with rotaries...'Rev it up' but the real reason is my 'son' , our boy Rabbit's name is 'Rev' in honor of the RX-8s and Rotaries and the he runs around the room so quickly only a blur shows up on the video camera (some of the local guys already know this so I'm just reiterating).

I'm thinking of getting Christine a vanity plate as well because she has a Mazda3 and in Japan it is called 'Axela' and that is the name of our girl Rabbit

Rev is the one on the left in both pics with a white 'Racing Stripe' on his head

Okay, completely off topic again (sorry) but I found the address for the Non-oxy station.

Here is a link to the google map where you can get non-oxy gas.
