Shane's cars were pretty badass, too.

Not sure if he's still on Hickory. A few months ago his brother told me Shane was getting a new motor (Pineapple - good luck) in the FD.

Yes, it still idles angrily at times... The car is running good although I'm currently tuning-challenged so I generally grandma it around. It made it to Deal's Gap and back although my wife and I are still trying to get our hearing back. Speaking of - the resonated mid-pipe came in the mail today, so maybe we can quiet it down soon.

And to clarify, I still own the AEFC, although it is a 10th AE instead of 20th AE.

I am contemplating selling it in the near future to help w/ the upcoming newborn expenses... Got a few minor things to fix on it first.

You may not need an lsd. Mine had over 160k of abuse on it. Yours is practically brand new.

I saw you.

I just caught a glimpse but I think think your ride is grayish blue with custom wheels.

Good looking ride.

Red 3rd Gen on I-30

I've spotted a red 3rd Gen RX-7 several times, going Eastbound on I-30 on my way into work. Are you on here? I was the blue MP3, with chirping sound from under the hood.
