FL Finally took the PLUNG!!!

Well after much debate and self restraint
I took the plung and purchased a 94 Montego Blue Touring edition wit R1 interior.

I think my "Bitch" will be extremely jealous but maybe they will get along..

Here's the "other woman"




And this is my "Bitch" which will still get lots of LOVE.. no matter what..

It is a 2 owner car and the guy I bought it from has owned it since 96. NO accidents super clean Carfax. Always serviced by Pettit Racing or Mazda Dealer. According to him, the original owner ordered the car with the R1 suede seats and black carpets.
I picked it up last night for 15K. with all the following...
Pettit streetported motor, rebuilt tranny, Aluminum flywheel, ACT HD clutch and newer turbo's with around 10K miles since rebuild. I have ALL the receipts to prove it..
Pettit AST/ Gab Adjustable struts/ Eibach lowering springs/MazdaTrix short shifter/ Cusco strut bar/silicon hoses/ALL rear suspension bushings replaced/new front upper control arms/Pettit sway bars/drilled and slotted rotors/boost gauge/turbo timer/glass sunroof/M2 computer/Racing Beat down pipe/Racing Beat 3" exhaust and MoMo shift ****..

Sorry but how'd you get out of a wife only costing you $15K??? Mine has already had two FDs and an Rx-8.... LOL
Damn that car is nice! I'm down for a "GTG", although I most likely won't get a paycheck in time to make the Countyline meet
At the rate my car is falling apart from being a hardcore every day driver / only transportation, I need to save up for an FC before I try to keep up with Phil again
Hope to see you guys!

Thanks for all the positive comments.....
Mine is my DAILY driver as well. I am putting about 100 miles a day on her. I am thinking about selling the 1st gen to get a better daily and park my 3rd gen BUT there is a special attachment to my GSL-SE.... What am I going to do??????

BTW... I have been married for almost 20 yrs so YES..... the wife has cost me more BUT she lets me buy my toys..... Gotta LOVE a women who understands my habit....

Grats on the car! Hopefully, I'll be adding a 7 to the 954/305 area as well. Although probably won't be road-ready until winter of 2009. Are there still plenty of people going to towers?
