Car is on another lot, too. They can't move it until we have a deal. So I need to figure out how they intend to move it. Drive it? No way.

Ridiculous.

I've already got my Mazda salesman lined up (should I choose to buy the 3). He sold me my 2003 6 and sold my dad his 2000 Miata. He doesn't mess around, just gets you a deal. And going into November with 12's still on the lot, I'm pretty confident that he'll hit my number over the phone. When I bought my 6, it was end of model year for 2003, I got it for 4k under sticker. And that was before I really knew how to negotiate.

The guy I'm working with is a good kid. A bit of a nub. But he did recently graduate from my alma mater so I'm willing to give him a shot. I don't think he understands that I'm prepared to give him a number and then provide a deposit to hold the car.

Apparently they don't make them like they used to. Moving on!

Ouch....that doesn't look good.

Fortunate she wasn't hurt....but the insurance man isn't gonna be happy to take that call.

I know, they've moved on from the kitchen these days and...

Wait, we were talking about something else, huh?

Working another lead right now.

Looks like this one might pan out.

Some of you guys know we had a Z cruise yesterday, 10 Z in total...

Was a nice cruise especially Mr.Fire was here too with his Z(L1)

Everyone is talking about having a track day.. which I am also excited about...

I need BBK, cos my Z does not have the Sports-Pkg, and I am fine with buying it cos BBK is my next mod anyway.. but instead of Wilwood BBK, I might need Stoptech or AP because of tracking... that's extra $1.2k to $1.5k compares to Wilwood BBK....

And oil-cooler, I need oil-cooler if I go to the track...

I didn't plan to track the Z when I bought it... but I will need an oil-cooler if I do, and to spend extra $600 to $1k on an oil-cooler for an event that only happens once or twice a year...

With the BBK, that's extra $2k+ I will have to spend if I decide to track the Z...

To be.. or not to be... this is the question....

You need to find out if you can track the car without a roll cage/roll bar first, then start spending money! Also, what about doing the Sport brakes upgrade? Would be cheaper, no?

She kinda freaked and braked and swerved all at the same time. She spun the car out across the middle and right lane, clipped someone (who drove off...weird) and then her front driver side bumper and quarter panel hit the guard rail, which spun her car around the rest of the way, slamming the back driver side into the guard rail. She basically did a complete 360 and stopped on the side of the road.

Yeah, I'm just glad she's ok. I'm trying to figure out what to do now though, because the insurance has declared the car a total loss and they're giving us like $6500 for it, so we need a new car but aren't really in a place to be able to afford another car payment. I may just get a part time second job or something if this AT&T job doesn't pan out soon. If it does then we'll be fine.

Anyone want to buy some drugs? Or maybe some cheap love?

For track day, usual requirement is helmet and closed top in case of roadster.

I believe the OEM sports brake is 2-piston front and 1-piston rear, cheaper but I will go for 6 and 4 instead, price is higher but what the heck...
