well, I'm sending my 83 to the junkyard, but it was my daily driver until I bought my escort ZX2, that's a fun car. not like the Rx-7, but different, the Rx-7 definately turned more heads.
but before the Zx2, I also drove my moms 1986 Buick Skyhawk (no, not the skylark) it's a 1.6 litre motor with a 5 spd tranny... it's fun to drive. but gutless, cops don't give me a 2nd look in that car.
but now I have the ZX2, I want to have fun with it.. but payments are around 250.00 a month, and full coverage insurance is right around 200.00 a month. plus other bills doesn't leave alot of money for other things, not to mention I'm also saving for a wedding, I'm getting married May 28th next year.
at least my fiance likes the escort, she couldn't stand my Rx-7, maybe it was all the times I went sideways around corners and she got slammed into the window or something... either way if I did it, she still smacked me... to much fun not to do it though.
okay, I'll shutup. later.

Hi Drive a 2002 Miata SP, they are a limited edition sold here in OZ only, they have a aftermarket Turbo and heaps of other tweaks. Producing approx 150 kw, the only addition I have made to it is a Torque Biasing Diff (Much better than factory LSD etc) made here in OZ.
