that suby is nice tho, and I'm definately jealous!

All of my vehicles have been right in that neighborhood.

i'm absolutely enamored with the scoob, though. i've ALWAYS loved the GC8 body, so i went nuts when Bo said he was selling his for such a low price. i mean hell...that car, with that work done to it, could EASILY fetch $10k. the price is right, and everything works...and works reliably. i'd be a fool to pass it up.

Not having a car payment makes you beat the crap out of it a little harder
unless it's a 7.

unless it's a 7.Unless the car is registered to your buisness and you can right off the payment, intrest, maint, oil, gas, and mods.
In those cases its a very good decision to get a really good CPA. There is nothing like beating a car that you are getting free from the IRS.

The TII only fails inspection because of the reverese switch
A part that was discontinued six months ago, according to Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda.
ARRGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

remind me again why i bought a manual???
so i picked up the RS today from Bo. yey...finally.
it's a great car. i LOVE this car. it, however, is hating me right now. i picked it up at 08:30 this morning, and spent the day trying to get everything done to put it in my name. i drove(and stalled and stalled and stalled) an hour and a half from Silver Spring to Baltimore, got her inspected, drove(and stalled) my way to my work, so i could get my loan check from the in-house credit union(confusing, i know, don't ask...), and drove(and stalled and stalled) home. i never did get to the DMV to get tags on it...bleh.
i haven't driven a manual in over a year and a half, back when i had my 3.1L Z24...and that was a ginormous piece of crap.
i'm so tired i could collapse...but i get to drive(and stall and stall) in rush hour traffic to get to the fiance's house for his birthday. someone shoot me, please...

BTW, it's worse in the winter. No one seems to have a straight answer as to WHY, but it chatters like hell in the winter.
Also, IIRC, you have a '98 with DOHC's? If you ever need help with a timing belt I'm somewhat of a pro at changing them... best time was 1.5 hours (go me). Not sure if you ever heard about **the leak**. The one that ALWAYS, just a matter of time, will happen between the oil pump and engine block. If it hasn't been fixed yet it's coming at some point. No expensive to DIY but just a PITA.
Anyway... great weather today, to bad it's supposed to rain all weekend.

It's one of those oddities of life that I've never bought a car from a dealer, and never bought a house from a real estate agent (I've owned 3) I've never bought a car that cost me more than $3500 - OK, the RX7 cost $3K and I had to put about $2500 into it , but that's different 
I figure I put $1K/year into each car to keep it on the road - basically treat it like a car payment (budget wise) - my 86 ford van has 209K miles
Anybody want a 85 Chevy short schoolbus that needs some work? It runs OK, but has an exhaust manifold leak, needs a new radiator, and burns a quart of oil every 300 miles (about a 2 cycle mix we figure
)
