Yo,


Seth, where were you on Sunday?! Doc Wong's was the shizzie!! I chased a Boxster for 3 hours in the twisties.

Oh, and I didn't worry about the motor for one second. 6000-8200rpms for long, LONG stretches of time. No worries. What I'm trying to say is...I don't need no steekin' SNAIL!

*grin*

Yo,


Yeah, that was Blake's. My local friend couldn't pull the trigger, so a Canadian dude swooped on it. Let's hope he's taking good care of it! I don't even know if they had the GTUs model up in The Great White North.

Yo,


Sorry to hear about it bro, I hope it ain't too bad.

Don't worry though, I did the FC proud. 12 year old suspension, 205 tires, and that Boxster still couldn't shake me off its tail. *grin* I don't know how hard Doc Wong was tryin'...but I think he was tryin' pretty hard. *grin*

Yo,


Speaking of Doc Wong:



And you thought I was making that stuff up about chasing a Boxster.



Got Brake Dust?

Great photo why you don't want to powdercoat your rims white. PITA to keep clean. But when they're clean, they look so nice...

Thanks to the fella in the Miata in our group for the photos!

Yo,


Rico05: I know yer kiddin', thanks for the compliment. Just start waxin' everything you can touch. *grin* PS: Do you have Akira on DVD yet?

RX-7Impreza: Don't hate the playah, hate the game! Anyone ask you about your name yet?

Dre_2000: They're nice rims, 16" and only weigh around 15lbs. Look around for a set, you should be able to find them relatively cheap.

I'd rather know what 87GTR is doing with his wheel/tire combo when he gets his new stuff

Something else that would be sweet, if Rarest got some centercaps for those wheels. They REALLY wouldn't be that hard to have machined out of aluminum. Maybe the new mazda logo?
