Things are going good for me. I sold the rx7, bought that austin pickup truck (which is being delivered next week) and a 91 Rustang 5.0 as the beater car. All I do is go to school and fly planes. The "speed" of the rx7 kinda lost its luster once I started doing steep turns, stalls, and spins in a plane. I'll post up some pix of the truck once I get it here....plus I have rims on the way for it too.

 

sweet, sounds like your doin good. umm, have you done anything to the rustang?

 

2 marrow me and chris are gunna do the sealnt fix thing

 

sounds like you have things buckled down pretty tight man. happy for ya. good luck

 

Thanks guys. The rustang will be left along, it just rolls me from point A to B.

 

shouldn;t you have gotten somethign with a little better gas mileage?

 

I understand, an airplane is definately faster

 

I drive a total of 9 miles a day, and bought the mustang for $1750 with 84k miles on it. Its very mechanically sound, but was in an accident and has a salvage title, which I couldn't care less about since I just use it as basic transportation. You should see some of the heaps of junk driving around out here anyways. It has about 5 different colors on it from new body panels and a rust hood, which is kinda funny looking. Has a good bit of torque which is fun to play with though. Its fast till about 40mph then its a big boat.
Flying is like the rx7 times 10. There is just so much to control and keep track of, its very rewarding. Plus I can do any crazy menauver I want within the envelope of the plane and not worrry about cops. Its almost like driving a roller coaster in some instances. Good stuff.

 

where is your mini?...not the truck, the other one ya had.

 

I still have it. I'll have a mini car and a truck now.

 

what size rims did you order for tha truck, 17's?

 

jeez, The Shining is freakin crazy. that movie is like spooky like mad

 

The truck will have 12x5's, opposed to the 10x4.5's on it now. My car has 13x7's, but has sportpack flares to keep the wheels flush.

 

why not drive the mini (car) instead fo the stang?

 

The mini's are more for weekends and Friday afternoons, as well as car shows. The Stang will get to sit in the school parking lot all day, while the mini's get the shaded covered parking here at the apartments.

 

aaaah, i see


piece fo advice, carry a hammer in the stang. that way you can beat the **** out of it when you get frustrated

 

LOL, nice, is the truck there?

 

Truck will be here next week sometime. Another pic to put it in perspective.

 

that thing is awesome. is it the same size as the car except for the truck bed?

 

how hard is it to find parts for those things? i mean, can you run to any standard parts store and get them?

 

A few parts can be found locally. I have parts suppliers in GB that can get anything I need over here quickly and cheap. I had to replace a throttle cable on my car and it was 20 bucks after shipping and got here in a week. They aren't expensive cars to maintain even if things really go wrong.

I think the truck bed makes it a half or maybe a foot longer.

 

i wouldn;t have thought it was that cheap to get parts for them. but i am proven wrong everyday


anyone here know about a lexus SC300? where i coudl find aftermarket parts for them and all that?

 

Keep in mind that there were over 3 million mini's produced overseas from 59-2000. So finding parts is easy.

 

yeah, I figured the truck bed made it a little longer. isnt there a website called minimania

 

Yeah minimania, i'm also 94touring on that site.
