I like it. Do you have a box of JB weld and quick steel?

Not a problem. It bolts right in. I saw it in a Japanese magazine. (or was that an Italian magazine?).

I think that this will ruin the balance and spirit of the car. If Mazda wanted the Miata to have an Italian V8...they would have put one in it.

At least you are starting now...it might actually run by the time you get your license.

What? I thought that this was the correct method for de-newbifying one's self. It certainly seems to be the most prevalent one.

Your budget is obviously too high.

Haha. We've got to get those T-shirts printed! I can't decide on the graphic that would be best- I'm thinking perhaps a helmeted head, in silhouette, with the wreck in the background.

(Also, welcome aboard.)
