Mike, glad to see your plan coming to life. Can't wait to see it on the track. I actually started looking at Miatas myself. I'll be going in the opposite direction in horsepower if I go that route....

Making a 996 go fast is actually something I know a little bit about. When can we start spending money?

If you go to my very outdated website (www.jimbreakey.com) you will see the ad for my 996. Look at the Details section. I would do a lot of things differently but it might give you some ideas. I'd be glad to discuss it (phone or email) if you think it would be of help.

Too right, that.

Seriously--it's way more fun having him at home. I need to win the lottery so he can stay home all the time!

So even more off topic. How about a treasure hunt for charity. There is a pretty cool shot of Charlie's cup car on my web site. Find it and I'll send $100 to your charity. No fair asking him for help.

I don't think they would let you bring it on the plane as carry-on luggage. I got one. Come on down & help me hack away!

I know Texas laws and regulations can be fairly liberal, but you guys actually allow Globe to have, and use, power tools?

OK, I'll send the cash anyway. Please PM me the info.

BTW, you can find Charlie's cup in my rear view mirror in the test drive video.
