Angry Sold My RX2 "To Make Things Right"

Like the title says I sold my project rx2. I invested just about an easy 5-6 grand in parts alone. From turbo's, to turbo mani's, waste gates, roll cage & chassie tubing, rear ends so on and so forth. But the parts never made it to my car, there just lying around waiting to be put in something else. Car is going to good home in Florida so I know everything is going to be okay.

The pics show the last process of the parts coming off the car which were the mock up motor and the turbo II tranny. It hurts but I know this is something I had to do. So many memories,

But I had to sell the car to make things right with someone I truly care about and don't want to lose, cause she means that much to me and the world to me.











Sometimes in life to make things right you got to sacrafice what you love most for what's more important and the person you truly care about.

Someone could make a good profit on the parts alone, let alone the golden ones that left with it. Don't fret, after 20 years of marriage and raising 3 kids they grow back and you will have your dream once again.

Sorry to hear about the change of ownership.

Love the collection that is left. I have always loved lowered BUGS and old skool rides that remind me of when it all started....

Good luck on the SA.

Angry Dooms Day!!!

Hey thanks holiday and thanks shpuz means a lot.

Today the duce gets picked up and is on her way to florida will post pics, and then tell you all the story of how this all went down.

At this moment I won't be looking for any cars but i will keep you in mind doc thanks.

After the duce leaves and I get the crx back I will be donating it to charity and just be done with that pile of bad luck. After that I might be considering moving to Florida just to start fresh and continue my SA project in the works right now. All the parts that were going on the duce are going on to the 7 now.

Man that's crazy. I almost gave up my Mazda driving dreams for a female I thought loved the kid.

Glad I didnt, kept my money right, stepped my FC game up and the broad shook right as I caught her on some shady business, felt bad losing her, just thankful I stayed true to my dreams tho. Hope things all work out for you bro.
