Don't know, we shall see. My first inclination is still BS.

Your first inclination is wrong!!

Come to STR... it's where the real men run, and Ken.

Wait! By the STX RX8 and battle it out there. I want to build a carrera for STR.

Your RX8 is up for sale?

Gonna pass.
That driver position, with helmet, is not something I want long term.

I have no idea how you do so well with your helmet rubbing the celing all the time.
Too annyoing in my book.

Racing seat solved that problem.

Faster does not always equal more fun.

Having found a lower mileage, with better paint, totally stock Grand Prix White CR, I can't pass this up.
They only made 75 White CR's with AC.

I still don't have any idea what the settlement will be though. State Farm is now taking possession.

Especially when you factor in tire costs. }:)

But in reality, they're all a hoot.

I just secured a deal with the guy in NorCal that I mentioned earlier with a White 2008 CR, w/ AC, Radio, 8,500 on the odo.

He felt for my situation.

Now to get State Farm moving a bit faster...


Does anyone have a open CarFax account???


BTW, I also spotted a Black CR for Sale in TX, for $19,900, but it's missing a Hard Top.
I have one of those in my garage

There's a lot more than two, I'm afraid.

Two more, that is, among the countless legions.

+2 4 STR = no tire tail!

Not equal.

That looks terrifying. Glad to hear you are ok.

Reading your story makes my sternum and left arm tingle (from my accident). Make sure you get yourself checked out.

Mako Koiwai wrote:+2 4 STR = no tire tail!

I salvaged the tire tail. Needs a good weld job, but it will live on !

Max, maybe you can let Pete try out your STR MX5 ?

Is Guy's S2K in STR trim ?

I'm sure I could - Pete's kindly let me drive his car before.

Yes, and he's back in town too I recently heard.

We shall see.

And good trim too, He beat Max at Nationals

Stick with the white car. Both black and white have the clean from afar, dirty up close issues, but you won't leave fingerprints on the white car every time you touch it, as it melts part of your skin off. My kids liked the car until the first time they burnt there hands on it. Even on a nice 70 deg day, I've burn my hands mid day on the painted metal surfaces. Now they want nothing to do with it. It also won't make the air conditioner work as hard compensating for the additional heat it absorbs.

If I had it all to do again, I would not have bought the black Miata, and would have found a different color.

white = appliance

silver = precision

Get black paint it's the most rewarding color to polish!
