Ahhhh self-enlightenment. Srsly though, having a 3:1 production ratio brings out the idiots that can afford a $25K rice rocket (rice...bullet train? rice...slowmobile?).

I remember his test drive review, and the kit he is proposing would pretty much solve his one major complaint.

But that wouldn't be in the spirit of the car...

A properly sized turbo like Ryephile was suggesting would be great fun. Twin entry GT28 sized or smaller? That'd be awesome. I get it, but the whole "not in the spirit" argument needs to die.

Meh. I still have yet to drive an FRS (rich kid I know decided not to get one, so it'll be some time before I find someone who has one), but I have a feeling it's not going to be as exciting as the car I already have, even if it's a little faster minus launches (56% weight on the rear ftw).

My dream is to own a future MR2 (if they even make one), and make it into an Elise wannabe. Fiberglass all the panels, proper undertray, build the engine to 9000 rpm minimum, supercharged, redo the aero if they use a retarded softtop again, and self-modify the steering rack to manual (don't need a higher steering ratio thanks, I'll muscle the wheel in the parking lot). Then maybe if I still have too much money to burn I'll do the front wheel electric drive retrofit

My mom has this. As long as she takes her pill she is ok. My doctor actually had me tested for hyperthyroidism last year, she said my levels were high, but not high enough.

That reminds me, I can't believe I lost my Turborats image.

I deleted some of my stuff off my server to save space thinking I had everything offline. Now I can't find where I put that crappy image of a seagull saying "Turbo?".

I searched my HD and even the forums and the internets but I didn't find it. Maybe I'll try my old desktop.
