So who else lost power? I was out from 7pm Sunday till 1pm on Monday, then the furnace didn't wanna work right when the power finally cam back on.
We had the furnace tech out here at 10 this morning, 22 and half hours later it finally started heating the house higher than 55 degrees.

I've already determined I wont be driving my 7 again till it rains at least twice... I feel that should be more than adequate... And I know I'll get sick of that idea and just drive it this Friday anyway... But can you blame me? I've hardly driven it for two weeks now!

Dude... I totally forgot, I was supposed to call you on Sunday or something... Right? My bad...

lol, I probably won't be there. My friends are back from college for their Spring Break so we might end up going to watch a movie or something. Hey David, What do you think about Fortune Coilovers?

I 've been looking at them pretty seriously recently and thinking of getting a set for the Miata next time Terry does a group buy.
I think they'd be fine for regular street driving and autocross and the occasional track day, I don't think they'd hold up for long on a dedicated track car though.

Pros: they're available with custom valving and springs, Terry's shop can rebuild them - meaning you don't even need to send them out of town, they look to be of decent quality, Terry is not a major douchebag so he is not going to rip you off.

Cons: made in Taiwan - not that big a deal as most other companies low end coilovers are made there as well just ask Stance, Tein, and D2 racing.
You get what you pay for.

I just want them to last about 3 years.

They seem to be a really good deal. Also, I want to get sponsored by them =]

Just a dream right? Once I get my car back in action, I definitely want to hit the track a couple of times.

Are you freaking kidding me?? I completely agree with the *****, but how could you say it had no story? Granted, the book was sooo much better than the movie, but the plot was all (for the most part) still there, and still AMAZING!

If you had never read the comic book, then you wouldn't understand it. I understood it after I went home and read the comic book though. I did like Dr. Manhattan's power. I wish I had it.

Well I had fun this weekend...






Hit a deer on the way home from the Central Virginia Mazda Club meet on Saturday. Damage seems to be mostly cosmetic, and minor. The pop-up assembly is broke (I can't seem to figure out what exactly it is that's bent and holding it up so high), My license plate is bent which is pretty annoying to me for some reason, and there's a pretty intense scratch across the hood... I'm hoping it'll buff out when I was and wax the car next weekend, but I need a new hood anyways, so...
