It’s an inanimate object; not a person, but enjoy.
Thank you. I will.
I suppose I should feel good that you're back to your old conflict-seeking behavior. I was afraid that recent life events might have eliminated that aspect of your personality. I take this reversion to type as a sign that you are doing better and I wish you the best.
Congrats! Launch Edition to boot, right? Looks like the previous owner had some decent mods (upgraded grill, KONIG wheels, etc); was it tuned with a ProECU or still stock there?
I miss my ND quite a bit, the RX-8 is fun and my wife appreciates the extra seats (and no car payment), but the Miata is a significant improvement on most fronts, especially fuel economy where I regularly achieved 34mpg for the same performance. All it really needed was a supercharger and exhaust to be the perfect sports car daily and with the Edelbrock setup, that is a reliable option. I am focusing on developing for the Ford Ecoboost 2.3 right now, but who knows, in a few years I may be able to slink back into an ND for 'development purposes' .
The manner in which you use your personal truths is where the conflict arises.

I did the wheels, the PO did coilovers, GWR header and midpipe, grill, and OV tune. I plan to do swaybars, offset UCA bushings, OE LSD, diff bushing inserts, and some better pads.

Coilovers? You can's say "coilovers" without providing details!
Yah, they're good enough for the street but I doubt they will help me get the 3rd or 4th place finish I'm hoping for in my class with my local SCCA chapter (we have a big and very competitive STR class).
I'll be upgrading them later. For now, I'm taking care of the less expensive things like swaybars, bushings, and basic limited slip function.
You can always buy another colour and then just wrap it.
I have seen a yellow S2 before and it looks like that's how it's done.
The vinyl alone costs around $2000 for the good stuff (3M or Avery) for a DIY job. I don't recommend trying to DIY it. A quality job costs around $3000. It is much more expensive than most people think.

I know it's not cheap, I am just saying that if you are really stingy about colours, there is always the option.
I don't care about colours when it comes to used cars as long as it's not absolutely repulsive.

Exactly.
I'm not spending that kind of money unless I get exactly what I want.
LY or something close to it.
Has to be a bright yellow, and not that sickly Beemer Babysh!t yellow.
I don't really understand your fascination with LY, BC. Personally, I almost passed on this because it wasn't Soul Red Crystal Metallic (which looks AMAZING in person).
That said, say the word and I'll take a few days of vacation and help you R&R your reman. I have a little experience...
My first car was a Hiahleah Yellow '69 Javelin in 1976.
My 2 best friends had a yellow Trans Am, and a yellow Challenger.
I just think yellow pops on a sports car.
The yellow Ferraris and Lambos are beautiful, imo, and I've seen a Mercedes that blew me away.
I wouldn't have bought an RX8 if it wasn't LY.
Parked out front at the dealership a mile from my house.
Love at first sight.
Once I drove it, I had to have it.
I talked them down $3k, but I would've paid their asking price.
Exactly.

LY actually looks good, just too bad it's only available in 04. The only newer cars that come in a bright yellow I can recall are pony cars.
I think there is a lot of freedom in terms of colour choice when it comes to wrapping.

Inb4 200 says red is for women and Ferraris.
That said, Soul Red is darker, subtler and more elegant than Velocity Red(my 8's colour).
