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?

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.
