I guess I got a free track day out of it. I drove on his tires and pads (and car).

I'm most pissed because I lost out on that Lotus Elise too. Now I have neither, and both were great prices- probably about 20% below market value. The search continues...

Maybe I'll just drive the Miata for another season or something. Just searching for a car is stressful. For maybe I'll just do a month long vacation or something. That was fun.

I'll tell you though, I was probably an hour from buying a bunch of expensive mods. I only bought a sandwich plate for an oil cooler, but I had tabs open for other more expensive stuff (camber plates, brembo brakes)
If I was your friend I'd have told him it's sold unless he wants to outbid it. Sounds like your buddy has a shitty friend.

Yeah, the car shopping thing sucks. But more and more of these should be popping up around that $10k price. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise and you'll find a 15+ model for a good deal before long.

I'm also in favor of spending the money on a long vacation. I'm leaving to Europe for two weeks on Sunday and can't wait. haha
