Within 100 miles of where you live, you have Bondauraunt, the kart track in Tucson, Marano, Arizona Motorsports complex auto-x.
I'm visualizing a Caterham 7 at 1200 lbs and an S2000 engine & 6 spd. With a bone stock s2000 that's a power to weight of 4.8 to 1. That's just slightly better than a 3300 lbs Corvette with 650 hp. You could drive it to the tracks or even tow it behind the twin. Tell me that wouldn't look cool going down the road.

Beautiful car....... and it's in Flagstaff. Spitfire engines are junk. I'd want to do an engine swap but the car is beautiful and reasonable.

A Caterham 7 or similar Lotus 7-design of car would be a great project. Who cares if it's not the ultimate badass machine of death? Get some goggles, leather cap and driving gloves, and paint "DGAF" down the side because you'll be having too much fun to care.

After looking into it, new Caterhams are sold without engines in the US thanks to the fun police. So a builder could really let their imaginations (and wallet) run wild with the possibilities. Personally, a Miata BP engine would be high on my list because they're cheap, plentiful and reliable. It would make good power for the car and be fun to drive.

Or for a bit more pep, a F22C or similar great Honda engine as @40flash suggests.

Or...if you want a power/weight ratio of 1:1... http://www.racingbeat.com/RX7-1993-1...es/Engine.html

Just sayin.

Alright I am giving some serious thought to switching to the iPhone just because the upgrade special right now with our Verizon plan is 30.00 for an iPhone 5s or 25.00 for a 5c.
Chey got the Pink 5c and I have been playing with it... its not bad.

My Dislikes;
1) No Swype... Why???
2) I want to have my own video's outside of iTunes format same with Pictures. Every so often I get a nice picture from Chey thats just for me and well if someone else is messing with my phone I don't want them to see that. With my Android devices I can make a folder and put a small file saying no media basically in it and it will be hidden. Is this option available on the Apple side? (And no they are not nude guys lol)
3) Can I change the dock layout and put folders on the dock?
4) Widgets do they have them for iPhones? Can't do to much to Chey's phone or she will get mad.

Honestly those are my complaints. What do you think, are there options or should I stick with Android?

Also guys back to last night, sorry still getting used to Tapatalk.
I was thinking more along the lines of a Lotus Elise... maybe an Espirit.
