I really need to learn to wait between crazy ideas, but sometimes I'm so bored I can't help it, so you guys get two in one day.

I might actually, in some small way, be considering turning in my lease and getting a Miata. I really don't like convertibles, but the ND is just a really good looking car.

I can't explain why. I just... yeah.

Technically speaking, the wheel is the whole package, tires and wheels combined. So, what he's saying is he's selling the whole wheel, and including the outer lip (the rim) for free, which is quite gracious of him if you think about it, since you need it to hold the tire on.

It looks even better, but it's also Italian and I've not heard a good thing about Italian reliability. Plus I don't think I want a turbo.

@MisterSheep got a solid data log including some freeway pulls (thank god oft doesnt show current speed :P) I'll upload it to the 'software tuning/post data logs here' thread after work. Obviously wasn't concentrating on the oft at speed but i didn't see ltft get any worse than -3.90 and surprisingly the IAM didn't drop below 1 on a wot pull from 2nd up to 4th.

Give me that fastback coupe render and it's a done deal. Holy crap, I might have made a mess.

May just be the lighting or editing, or could be satin. Better color, worse angle.

Nice. I think the ethanol content is lower in my tank right now. I will be trying multiple other stations over the course of me running E85 to see who's got the best blends.

Maybe I missed it (and I'm not going to dig through hundreds of pages or search because laziness), but @Nevermore, are you aware of this Ferrari LS swap?
