MazdaSpeed anything = awesome. I drove a Speed Miata back when they were introduced. It was sick. I love the look and finish of the new Speed 3 but my favorite will always be the Speed 6. It's an Evo for grownups. And since you haven't been able to buy a Galant VR4 in America for many many years... (which SUCKS!! Japanese market gets a Galant with 3.8 liter V6, two intercooled turbos, all wheel drive with THREE intelligent differentials, plus six speed sequential automatic, AAAARRRGGGH!!!

Sorry, what were we discussing?

 

Bed time. I have what I need except for my long form, which has evaporated. It is required, so I am hoping I can sweet talk somebody at Gordon into faxing over a copy. Or I'll have to get another physical. Or something. We'll figure it out.

 

I like them better with the gold rims--to each his own.

We already have a Great Dane named "Oof" and an English Mastiff named "Thud."

Just kidding--I've already mentioned we aren't ready for a dog yet; wouldn't be fair to the little hooligan to schlep him into a cab prematurely.

We're gonna have to meet for dinner some time; The Hot Chick and I enjoy your posts.

 

There's a guy here in Indy who has a Crown Vic and fitted it with the engine and manual transmission from a wrecked Mustang Cobra. Also the brakes, most of the suspension, and a custom exhaust with side exits ahead of the rat wheels. It's black with black HRE wheels. He's got a triangulated strut brace under the hood and sub frame connectors underneath, as well as a regulation roll cage and fire suppression system for SCCA road racing although the car is completely street legal. He has a large decal on the windshield that says "BMW HUNTER."

He says he loves to leave M car drivers scratching their heads (except for the wheels the car looks pretty stock from the outside--he kept the ride height more or less the same).

You can't beat the Crown for comfort, and this guy showed me that Mustang mods work on them too.
