Mondo

Wow! Do you even use first gear;)

I saw one for sale and it was a heck of a deal... like 25 grand.

Wouldn't be surprised if that guy didn't have flood insurance but had fire insurance... sad to say, but he'll likely be better off

Not sure, it belongs to my daughter's boyfriend... just know it has true 1080 High Def and it fit in the palm of his hand. Wished he wouldn't of hit the pause button instead of record on some of the tighter stuff. I think he was a little distracted by the G forces;)

Same clip I posted in other section a few weeks ago... just thought it would be easier to find here.

I have Falkens.. 225/275 on 17in wheels (8 & 9in widths). I can't spin mine in a straight line while in 2nd. It may be more due to the 3.90 STI rear end rather than the regular suburu 4.11. I imagine it's a bit slower as well. But it's the right set up for a supercharger;)

maybe you only need 9in wide front tires;)

I was thinking the same thing... At Edwards Air Force Base, in the 80s, they had on display an F104 (that's the one that had just about the smallest wings ever for a jet fighter and was nicknamed "the widowmaker"). This particular jet went for a high altitude record and actually had little jets (basically holes where thrust came out) on its hull to help orient it when it got so high up there.

I think we can all agree that this is awesome! http://www.wimp.com/breathtakingfootage/

"... limit the weight of the driver to 150lbs.." I dont know which is harder; making the weight or coming up with $200 grand;)

Hey, that might of been my Europa;) Our State was making it too hard to find someone who would "pass" my car's smog test, especially with my dual sidedraft webers (looked cool). This guy from Japan came to look at it and sent it back to his country, coincidentally it was '83-'84 time frame.

Kayne West has always been an egotistical ass... He's just trying to get his fans back, shamelessly blaming his mom's death on his actions

hmmm

I saw one where the painter was painting one scene then turned it upside down added just a few things and it turned into a portrait... amazing

I got off the sportbike as my feeling of invincibility was kind of shot by the time I turned 50. Plus when I started counting the people I know that have been killed or seriously injured in just the 5 years of street riding.... felt I was pressing my luck. That left me with the option of a dedicated track bike or the 7. I'm pretty lazy by nature and driving out my driveway into the foothills is still a priority over loading up to go to the track 3 or 4 times a year. And how can you get any better riding that infrequently? I've found that 100mph in the 7 is like 140mph on a sportbike (for me anyway). Another difference is the bike gets smoother and more stable the faster you go... the 7 feels more unstable and I get a scared that a little nervous twitch might send me into the weeds. To be honest, that feeling is on the road where things aren't the smoothest. I don't recall that feeling on the track. Guess the lesson is to stop being a fool and keep it under 100 (85-90 actually feels like a nice fast controlled pace). So basically I'm getting the same thrill without the top speed and little bit more security... like not panicing over a patch of dirt in the apex of a turn and the advantage of a rollbar etc.. Can't drag a knee but can drag a knuckle if I want;) That being said, I do want a supercharger so I can keep up with the bikes in between corners:)

thats the first pic I've seen with a XR7 next to a S2K... man that thing is low!

I remember thinking how could a big jet screw up enough to hit that building on a clear day.... then when the other one was hit it became clear it was on purpose. A shame it takes something like that to get us to rally together.

ok, ok.... it was just a little levity. You Miata guys are a bit touchy on the subject;) I remember my Drill Sargeant telling me, in front of everyone "California, the land of steers & queers, and I don't see no horns on you boy". Having grown up in the Bay Area, it ain't no big deal. I'd love to have one of the new sequential paddle shifting transmission and not have to learn heel/toe downshifting. If it's good enough for World Rally drivers (my heroes) then it's good enough for me.

Oiltec, Kind of like our choices in 7s.... We all have different opinions and none of us on this board really can do anything about politics but vote/support who you want elected (unless there's a Senator/Congressman with a 7 on this board). Political views are really useless in this type forum and usually results in temper tantrums by those most adamant on one side or the other. Let it lie..... now who makes the best 7;)

Can we agree if you drive a miata with an automatic...... your gay;)

My friend stopped by there on vacation and wants to get me to go back there with him again as he didn't have time to really see everything. He said it's worth making the trip just for the museum

I have to agree about the Noble's rating being kind of low. That's the car I really wanted but was a little out of my price range (I do miss an A/C as it gets freakin hot here;)).
