I'm hoping you murdered him. Preferably by beating him to death with a bag of oranges.

Damn dude, that's some s*** news. Time for a S14 and name change?

In all seriousness, at least you're not hurt.

F*ck drunk drivers. I'm glad you're ok. But that guy needs to be in some excruciating pain for choosing to be a douche nozzle.

my coccyx, knees, legs, rib cage, spine and neck9among other parts) hurt like a b**** coz i got pinned between the door and the center console.
the firefighters had to cut open the car to get me out.
i think i was very fortunate that didn't end up paralyzed or even worse, the officer said the car was doing between 40-50 when it hit me.

Afternoon!
I fired up the Miata yesterday and went for a quick shakedown run on very little boost. HOLY CRAP is it FAST! That tach just FLIES through the rev band- I was sooooo freggin' giddy. I can't wait to tune it (ran really rich to be safe) this week.
I also had the BOV on backwards, haha. I turned it around, revved the engine by hand, and blasted a s*** ton of pressurized air into my face as I was watching the valve move. It must've looke like something from the 3 Stooges.

Glad to hear you got it going Ray , makes me want to get off my a** and get mine on the road!

In other news , i got to drive a friends 2010 WRX-STI yesterday.Nice car but i wasn't really impressed with the acceleration,i thought it would be a bit quicker.

I agree with you, WRX's and STI's never really impress me much. They feel okay in the speed section, but manageable. A corvette has a more connected sense of speed. And the handling, I HATE the body roll/plow in the Subys.

I also can't wait to race one and surprise the owner with a miata that can hold its own.

I've never personally owned a boosted Miata, but I loved my little 1.6 even though it was NA. On 10-12 lbs of boost I imagine it would have been complete animal.

Morning fellas.

The Miata only needs an exhaust to be ready for the cool temps of fall. Its extremely annoying to have to drive around and listen to the open exhaust belch out raspy notes, but its a VERY fun car. :)

The back seat of a three series is not where you want to find yourself on a 300+ mile road trip. That is all.
