Erie story, would be kinda weird to own that thing. Might look over while driving one day and she'll be sitting in the passenger seat!!

On a side note, my 7 is running again, can't wait to see which car is faster!! It or the m3, according to some data logs the 7 has a slower 0-60 but reaches 70 faster so it should be interesting.

Yes she does run, She was given to us and i can't wait to drive her Josh is going to keep it just the way it is so that i can drive it. He will first have to get it looking the way he wants it to before he lets me drive it. Me i would drive it like it looks know but u all know Josh it has to be up to his standards.

Van Josh has been working on your car, its just that he is working a lot and this weekend he has been battling kidney stone's. I start vacation this weekend so we will be buying a new camera this week, so hopeful he can post some pic of your car soon.

Can't wait to see the "new" car Josh. Hope your feeling better.

Drove the snake this past Saturday with an RX8 guy from Cars and Coffee. Thats a nice ride and
its a lot closer than the dragon, plus hardly any traffic and no cops.

The snake is 421 north of Boone, NC and leading into Bristol, TN. Its like the dragon but spit into
2 11 mile sections of mountain switchbacks with a nice easy valley driver for a few miles
between them.

Someone even has a website for it here http://www.421thesnake.com.

Talking

I hate to see her go as well. Have had quite a few. Calls mostly kids wanting to buy a drift ready car. Lol the last one that called asked if he bought it would it be ready for drifting. I chuckled and nicely told him that if he bought it, he could do what ever he wanted to it. I'm kinda leaning more toward the eBay route. That way more than likely I would never have to see it ragged out running around here. Its by no means perfect (aka SAMs car :-) ) but it's a great start. Thanks to SAMs porting, and Josh's super fast assembly skills, it runs like a rapped ape. But my prioritys are heading in a slightly diffrent direction. I've got the vert, my old Chevy truck, and the old e28. Not to mention my old celica that need my attention. First gens are definatly an awesome car to own I have had a blast with her, but I never got attached like i have with for mentioned cars. The vert is the reason I met any of you guys. Well every one but Sam. I believe I was still driving the 740 when I met Sam. Been 6 years I've known that nut lol. But a diffrent road I'm headed, not out of rotarys Just out of this one.
