    Nice. And mine was Merlot Mica

    So let's hear about and see your cars.

    I've always loved MX5s. Only owned one though. '95 M-edition. Did a few mods including a Flyin' Miata rocker arm and center chassis butterfly braces. Really tightened things up a bunch.

    That car looks great. Currently looking for an F8 green redeye widebody. And yeah, our school cars were on P-zeros. Maybe for the best that they weren't on anything overly sticky. Agreed about brake fade. Not sure what pads they used, but after a good 20 minutes hot lapping, I would have to...

    Funny you mention that car. I never expected them to handle as well as they do, given the weight, but I had a blast at this school last January. Did a 3-day course. Wife and I are heading back there this coming January, she's taking that same intro course, and I'm doing the advanced. Great...

    I feel for you, man. I don't think I could ever do that.

    So let's hear about and see your cars.

    Have driven plenty, and know their characteristics well. That engine hangs way back behind the rear halfshafts. Cook it too hard into a sweeper, start to feel the front end wash out, the initial reaction is always to snap that throttle shut. Then front tires suddenly get a bite, and that...

    Most recent pickup. 2005, 1 owner, 119k miles, Carbon Black, 6-spd manual. Was considering flipping, but may turn it into a track whore.

    Wife has gotten into the bourbon thing over the past few years. One of her bday gifts last year

    Been doing a bunch of electrical/electronics/appearance upgrades. Just did arch/cockpit lighting

    Haven't been here in a hot minute, but the updates will always continue. Old and busted New hotness

    For me, the Manheim Market Report rules all....well, rules most anyway. I did buy this car right, but am also in the biz of making a hit on anything I buy :-)

    That's effing grueling right there.

    Oh nice! Those cars are oddly not bad on a track. When I was in Scottsdale, I did a 3 day school at Radford (Formerly Bondurant) that I won playing the fantasy bid game. Had a blast with those. LOL. I completely understand that itch. Had an 88 LX 5.0 when I was 24, and ended up bracket...

    All good, just putting it out there, and using recent BAT results as a gauge. Makes for a good excuse to hit Barrett Jackson again next January at any rate. Had one of those about 5 years ago also. Needed a LOT of help when I bought it for $3500, put another $2200 into it and sold it 5...

    Oh nice, Carbon Black. Just bought an 05 6-spd coupe a few weeks ago. One of the other reasons I'm selling the 'vert. Seems a bit silly to have both.

    No better car to teach conservation of momentum. Had a '95 M-edition for a while and loved it.

    So let's hear about and see your cars.

    Well, that's pretty ironic, since I'm planning on bringing my '06 to sell at Barrett Jackson next January. Rod bearings done, VANOS done, subframe is in pristine condition. 99k miles, shadowline trim, 6-spd manual, spare tire kit, wind deflector. Bought it from a friend in Houston 2 years...

    Odd. Did mine through the official site, and had my doc in about 5 days.

    Great Lakes boaters who have made the crossing to Canada, what was your experience?

    I'll keep an eye out for you tomorrow, since we're likely staying put. Group decision to go to Sodus instead Saturday though. Definitely familiar with that place

    Yeah, me and that Tiara again. We'll probably pop over and get some recommendations of stuff to do on Irondequoit Saturday. Haven't spent a lot of time there so some local knowledge would be great

    Ok, mostly helpful replies (other than TimW). I think we're going to wait until next year to head back. Until then, heading to Rochester for the weekend.
