Tom is one of my best friends. He sold the shop, moved up to Denver, and is currently in southern California. Too many problems with the shop. Everyone wanted work and parts, but nobody wanted to pay. He got sick of the bullshit and closed the doors. I don't blame him...

Any word on a meet? Can we do something next weekend? (Sept 17-18). The weather seems to be cooling down so a short cruise would be cool.

I don't want to coordinate anything but I'm down to do something next weekend!

Rolled my Tacoma last weekend :( pics

I was up in the Jemez mountains last weekend, driving around with my sister. We came around a pretty sharp blind corner, only to encounter a truck sliding around it around 45mph like they were Ken f^#king Block. We had to swerve to avoid them, and ended up dropping off a 40ft embankment and rolling three times. The only thing that kept us from rolling even more were some trees that stopped us. We are both ok, bruised and cut up, super sore, and I have three broken ribs. Pics...

oh, and while we're on the subject, some time during the roll, I lost a keyring that contained my last ignition key for my rx7. Anybody got an ignition switch with keys for an FD?

October 8th there is an RGRSCCA autocross here in Albuquerque. It is at g-lot which is a parking lot for UNM. It is always a fundraiser event for FSAE and as an FSAE alumni I'll be there racing/supporting.
Here is a link to the schedule (You can't register for the event just yet)
http://www.rgrscca.com/schedule.htm

It'd be cool to see some more rx7's out there running.

My Rig

Here she is. Second pic is the wheels I have, only mine aren't quite as gold, more like a bronze I guess. I'm the second owner.

Thats a nice looking FD. Montego Blue is such an interesting colour, but again nice car. We should get people on here to meet up and have a beer or something.
