Default getting serious..

Update:

The Miata is now sold: http://www.evozine.com/miata/

This means that I have money burning a hole in my pocket, and an empty space in my garage.
I am off to take second look/drive at the 1984 928 black on black with the messed up transmission.
I am bringing my cash and negotiation skills to see if this guy accepts my lowball offer...

later,

evozine : The 87'S4 is more powerfull but it is also much heavier .It seems that you trade power for weight. This is why you have to have multiple 928's .They are different.

The following Kalifornia web site for the BAR allows you to input a vehicles VIN# or License plate number and review it’s entire smog/emissions tests history.

That 50 pound variance is the difference between Jim sitting in the car, or anyone else with a less substantial carriage.

Randy life is too short to be small I will admit to 350 lbs ! My students have reported that their cars seem to drive different when I get out of their car although most are still slower than the old very brown 1980 !!
