Its a mazdaspeed Miata ('07 I think) with a front passenger corner hit. Frame looked good though. I imagine Tom will have it in like new shape and for sale in short order.

Karen can't believe how we go off topic instead of immediately switching to the correct thread ... Girls! :gpower: (Karen made me add this!)

... it's all about multi tasking, and simply reading EVERY post! What's so hard about that ?!?!?

tempting... now Mako is saying "NOOOO,,,,, Karen" K= "but, Mako, wouldn't it be fun to stay with a Miata?"
M= "yes...."
:lol:
hmmm... but no, we should move onto something else at this point :arrow:
No, Mako -- you do NOT need to supercharge your new Miata! ...cuz now it's my turn to take it to the track :)
hmmmm... it is no longer "new" -- is it time to get faster?

Wow, such nice cars and garages. My floor is a total mess because of leaky cars and a spill-prone significant other, but still thankful I have a space to play in.

Is it just me or does a garage feel more like home than "home" sometimes?

Lots of space when my wife parks in the street for the big guy to work on the "Bubble Top"

A few Corvette Pics from Indy Pace cars, some golf clubs I don't use anymore since I started racing and some old rubber for room freshner.

Life is good.

Garage is so so. It's better when I lower the slot car track from the ceiling.
Check out the foyer though.
Worlds smallest Norton museum (1 bike).

When I take the Norton out of the foyer to ride and then leave it in the garage to work on it. My wife bugs me to bring it back in.
When we lived in Huntington Beach it sat in our white tiled kitchen / family room.

The trick is to leave the oil out.
Actually, I haven't run it in 2 years and after about 18 months it stops leaking (a lot).

The Slot Car track is cool! Terry Free has these incredibly detailed train layouts ... around his Xmas trees ... but slots are more fun.

These iPhone photos don't do Terry any justice ... the detail is insane:

But can you ram them together on a bridge that's rigged to blow up like what Gomez did in the Addams Family? :D

My train traveled from Auburn Hills, to the NuCar Prep Center to the Dealership. We moved a lot of hot wheels every Christmas. :)

JP,

Dooood, we have to talk! I have a custom 1/64th (yours is 1/32nd, right?) track on a 4'x8' table that I might be doing the very same thing with - hanging it from the ceiling, using pulleys to bring it down - only reason I haven't yet is the 1/1 scale slot car needs too much work right now!

Let's talk @ the next event!! :thumbup:
