It takes away the perspective of... Its a miata.

hmm... but yea, still skimming options even though I have a while before I plan on buying...

u can put a mustang engine in miatas and it will handle it... and my god do they go fast. beats corvettes

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

Snow is better then freexing rain thats for sure!!
Gets some tires yo!

It was so icy the other morning, I couldnt even drive my 4x4 truck.
I had to put chains on my tires... they suck, clunkclunkclunk

Right now its a drissly rain @ 33 deg, so its freexing on everything. Definatly keeping my vehicles away from (falling) trees. And power-lines.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

We're getting snow tomorrow! YAY! Im not sure how much as of yet. I was a little confused by the forecast. They said " 1-3 inches along the coast and 3-6 inches west and north of the city." Technically i'm along the coast and west of the city. So I guess i should expect about 3 inches.

We'll I've been keeping very very busy with my free time. Next week I'm going down to PR to visit my girl and to cheer her up since we won't be together on christmas. I'm also to help her out with the apartment.

Xi: I know you said I may need to find a hobby... well I just realized what it is. Every christmas we do a train display. Well that's my new hobby for the past few days... once I get it up and together I'll take a pic for everyone to see. It does pass the time quite well.... plus I didn't put it up last year due to time, and well everything needs a lot of work.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

I guess our weather out here hasn't been that crazy. It's been maintaining between the 30's and 40's for the past week and a half. Last week everyday we had some snow. Mainly only dustings though.

Today so far has been a flop for snow. They are still saying we are going to get 3-6 inches. Of what is what i ask. It has sleeted and rained all day here. So everything is an icy mess. I guess I will see what happens by tomorrow.

I'm guessing the nose of that car is for extra passengers... I guess after all the subs and amps in the back you still need room for your friends. We all know that front end isn't there for aerodynamics.

Cool find there gir... for that video. It definetly brought back some childhood memories for me... and the music is perfect for it too!

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

Not sure what kinda car that is/was.... I found it in the AF Gallery, links at the top of the pages. I guess I even have a gallery but no pics.... what happend to them.

That video remids me of some generic Techno I heard on myspace on day. Just a bunch of midi noises...

Well I think we are supposed to be getting some kind of a snow storm this week end, I hope so cause I just bought a bunch of sand and snowmelt stuff.

So what does Radar Vipey know about this ??
