Apparently not all of them made it, so sorry little birdy, I was going pretty fast but your buddies should have given you a heads up...Now to wash off the bird blood and feathers off my grill and radiator...
Dang! I know another guy (who coincidentally drives another WRB) that does such things to squirrels.

I know, I felt really bad poking it with a stick and watching it flop off my grill, just glad it didn't go all the way through, would have been gnarly trying to fish it out.

Need a rec for a good cheap OBD scanner. Got a friend with a non-running car and she had a cel for a while leading up to it.

Haha thanks for letting me join your meets!

The Miata community in the typical forums have grown bitter and most new owners are teens who just like trolling forums in their momma's basement.

Ugh. 9mm offset wheels on the HPI drift car aren't feasible without fender flares. lol

The FR-S beater body also looks pretty janky at this point. Definitely need to start working on the replacement body.
