Friend just made a status on fb about how when she gets a new car she is going to miss her current one.
She's like just a warning for everyone I'm going to be depressed that day.
I don't get it? Maybe it because my pos car isn't as reliable as hers-stalls, can't go above 65mph, have to use a piece of plastic to pull it out of park, and just well fuck you grand prix lol.
Damn getting 30k for free and being sad about a pos car... Smh. On top of free college and getting money to kick start your life out of state.
Anyway I still have 7 more months to go.
Don't even get me started on my friend who just Now started using his paddle shifters saying how much fun it is... T_T
I have to say I think I'm more pissed no one will invite me to the new myspace tho

I was quite upset when I sold my Integra. It was my first car that I had for 5 1/2 years. Granted, it has a cracked windshield, fading/cracking/rusting paint, and a drivers window that didn't work, but I loved that car. Taught myself how to drive stick on it too. It was something that I bought on my own and considered a step into adulthood. I plan on getting another Integra later in life to be a garage queen. ITRs!

You can do much worse than that! I'd say go for a test drive and if it feels right, go for it

(maybe do a PPI first)

5k is a bit up there though, but it sounds pretty clean, so it's probably worth that much.

Make sure it's a 1.8 and make sure it has the popular package with the Torsen LSD. Can't have a brother running on an Open Diff, now can we?

Hey guys I found it! Still up!

I'm jealous of you southerners. You'd never see a car like that in that condition up here with that many miles. Nice find!

Nevermore · 12-06-2012, 09:53 PM

I got honked at today for not merging into interstate traffic fast enough. I'm not sure if it was my fault or not, I mean, I guess I could have gone, would've been cutting it close though, and I hate the entrance I have to use leaving work. Maybe the guy was close to rear ending me because I didn't go, don't know.

But what I can't stop thinking about after this situation was whether he honked because I didn't go, or because I didn't go, and he might not have liked my car. The reason I suspect him of being a hater is because he was driving a car (Sorry guys, car noob, couldn't identify it and FR-S headlights aim so low I actually couldn't see his badge) that had a fairly large muffler, and those large, wide wheels that are really deep in the middle, looked like chrome, or very shiny whatever else. Again, car noob. It looked a little ricy, but I guess not terrible. Might have had aftermarket tail lights too.

So, he honks, me getting annoyed, I take off when traffic is clear, though I caught up to it before I broke 50 and had to slow down. He's behind me until this point and flashes his hi beams at me before going around me. I figured I wouldn't see him again because I expected him to take off and weave around the traffic, but he actually seemed pretty accepting of the other slow people. I ended up passing him, and he passed me again, but we weren't racing, so don't freak out people. It was just how the traffic was moving.

Don't know what to make of it. *Shrugs*

No power windows makes me think that this does not have the popular package, and in turn, doesn't have the LSD.

Also, it's a 91, which mean it's a 1.6, which is bleh.

NO ME GUSTA.

You can find one thats a little bit less clean, but with a 1.8 and a Torsen LSD, for less money.

What year specifically have these? Or rather, what is the name of the package?

I'm pretty new to Miata's

Okay, the 1.6L engines were from 1989 to 1994. The '94 model first introduced the 1.8L.

For the 1.6s, the Clutch-Type LSD was a separate option.

For the 1.8s, there was a package literally called "Popular Equipment Package" and it came with Power Windows, Power locks, some other stuff, and a Torsen LSD. I believe there was also a "Sports Package" that came with Bilstein Shocks, a spoiler, and the Torsen LSD.

You want a '94-'97 Miata. I believe there was no '98 Model year, and then '99 was the NB body style.

Damn, is it sad that I have only heard 4-5 of these songs before?

Awesome mix though.
