meh, this is the same guy that likes Miatas.... and we all know, you don't have to be gay to own a Miata, but it helps (not that there's anything wrong with that).

HEY, my wife owned a Miata, and I cried when she sold it for a Silverado P/U.....due to the economy, long story.....

I still have my '72 vette, the world may end before I get rid of it.....

:harhar:

I bought it for her long time ago, she had driven my sister's Miata up in Pennsylvania mountains even previous to that, and so she mentioned the word Miata a few times, and so I had some spare cash, checked Craigslist, and bought it, far better shape than the rusted out POS with the roll bar I compared it so....need a top, woopie doo....some other minor stuff, and the little bug just rolled along....good little fun car for her, it did not have power steering though, and her straining on the wheel when backing out, and straightening out down the road, was funny, she always grinned about it though....Mrs. Armstrong.....:thumbs:

I installed a Greddy turbo kit on an early Miata.. maybe a '92 or so back around 2000. The turbo kit had a single mitsubishi 15g internally wastegated turbo.. no intercooler. additional fuel added with a boost controlled fuel pressure regulator. Simple as it could be.. Good for about 125rwhp at 6psi. I'm about 5'11" and couldn't see out of the damn windshield without ducking down to see under the windshield frame. And it was a damned hoot to drive. It spooled up quickly and those cars do handle really, really well.

Wasn't humorous to me. I thought his comments where deceptive about the C3.. He only discussed the smog crippled cars. He had no mention of the C3's of 1968, 1969, 1970. They didn't have the 195 horsepower engines. Even if he was describing the 1980+ cars, he could have referenced the enhanced potential of the early C3's. He could have mentioned that in 1968 and 1969 you could buy a C3 Corvette that could run competitively on international race tracks....the L88 engine cars.

Being as a book keeper at a Olds dealer that closed long ago, and then for an accounting firm, she went into her own book keeping business and was going great guns for a few years, then one of her major clients up and died, his son could not continue on, so that was it for that client, and due to the economy she lost time and more clients, if sales are in the dumper there are no books to keep, time wise.....so it got so bad a years ago, we sold the miata for more than what we had in it, :harhar: and a neighbor was lightening his insurance load as having this silverado p/w, so we bought it, even money, and I stuck a topper on it....for 80 bux....so into doing house punch/repair/cleaning work for property mgmt companies....2 of them, I help out when needed....something to do....
