i tentatively have plans to meet up with a friend at his beach house in Dana Point and plan on stopping by cars and coffee that morning....but i havent heard form him yet so i am a maybe.

Detrich that is old news, Tesla also took one of the heads from Ford Motor Co.

 

ha, i guess no meet in sb then i take it, since everyone will be in vegas?

 

we have a couple RX-7 guys comming.... but yeah, looks like another crappy turn out for the RX-8's. :-(

 

Thats too bad, RX-7 club should be very strong this month.

 

Hey Casey, and to all that want to come. I'm having a BBQ and watching the UFC fight this Saturday after the meet this weekend. Oh ya, I have finished the downstairs project for the most part , were I have the ROCKBAND set up!! The game room! For those that like that kinda of stuff!! I have a pool, for those that want to cool off on a HOT day!! LOL!

 

We have had a loss in the Family.
Stephs old 91 MR2 was very famous in the community. This was her car when she started the MR2uesday meets several years ago. It was at every major event for 4 years. When we met, she was doing the engine swap on this car. I drove it to work for a few months, so it was a car that was very close to many of us.
A few months ago they gave it to the neighbor kid for his 16th birthday. He finally got it registered last week. 2 days ago this happened
The only good news . . . . . . Sean walked away with minor injuries. As for "Blueregard". . . . . . . .

Random pics of the day

 

oh SNAP!!! wtf did he do?!

 

^^^^
He was doin about 90-100 on a long corner and hit a small bump. He is not the best driver either, it could have been saved but he overcorrected.
Steph was crying when she saw it. She did the engine swap on it, she did the suspension on it, she painted it, it was the first car that was hers, not a hand me down

 

I DONT THINK ANY ONE IS A GOOD DRIVER AT 16! Why the hell do these kids think they can drive so fast at such a young age. It looks as though he was damn lucky to survive. Sorry to see the pics / hear the loss.

 

hey, i was a good driver at 16!!! no i wasnt!!! but then again i had a atnk of a 1971 mustang mach1. and ive wrecked my fair share of imports in that car

 

wow... what a shame.

 

sup peeps!
is it Vegas time yet???

 

... that sucks.... this is why new drivers should be foeced to drive crappy cars. I can guarentee you that my kids will NOT have a cool car as a first car. (not unless they pay for it)

they need to earn it,

 

^^^ damn straight!

my first car was a beat up 1986 Mazda B2000 pick up truck. Manual transmission with power NOTHING!!

 

The girl accross the street has a jetta that she crashed some time when we first bought our house but has been driving the car ever since. she recently got in another accident over the 4th and finally decide to get is fixed so she was driving a rental. well the car came back ther other day and the very next evening it was in another accident, she was picking her phone up off the floor while driving! She also recently turned 21.

 

I was spoiled as a teenager.
Dad owned a dealership and a body shop.

When I was 16 I got to drive a Lambo to school one day, a couple Ferraris, Porsches and a ton of classics.


But MY first car was a 1963 VW beetle. (with 212 crank HP )

 

You lived my dream back in high school


My first car at 16 was my dad's old 87 RX-7. It still is my car. 145hp at the crank, or at least when it was new. I've yet to get in a single accident in that car (besides two hit and runs where people backed into my car in pickup trucks.

 

I drove a 1974 chevy 454 with step rails, tool box, bug guard, mud flaps and two tall antennas for a year. Then I got my 92 240SX/SE

 

I was very lucky to have an opportunity to drive some of the cars I did back then. But my dad was VERY strict on how they were to be treated. Not to say I never got a chance to put my foot in to them, however I was a very responsible teenager that had been through 3 advanced driving courses by the time I got my license.

Too bad no one wants to hand me the keys to their Lambo now-a-days

 

cesar: weren't we JUST talking about this???
