You know it is an special day when Ray has to be the voice of reason on this site.
BTW, Obama is going to get spend half of the TARP, Ray. There is enough of that to spread around. I wonder if we can get some stimulus money to buy parts for our cars...

Those guys are about to get quite a surprise. What will happen, will the rear wheels wrap up the restraints and bash the rear of the Miata into the rear wall? Or will the restraints break and the front end will pin those guys to the front wall?

Damn, it looks like that stimulus package is going to be passed. I was going to send in request for panasports for my car.
It was beauuuutiful out yesterday on the way home. It was one of those days when I don't understand why everyone isn't driving and RX-7. And that was in I85 traffic.

It was frisky on the way home at 1:30 too, Ray. You blew past me like I was sitting still. My coworkers thought it was laughable that I personally knew the guy that just blew past us, just because he was in an FB.

I do enjoy the drive in the White One, makes the 2+ hours a day on I85 tolerable.
Cutting 5-10 minutes off the trip each way with a little creative lane use is hard to resist. Look for The Zone, move quickly, use it and look for another.
When you getting rid of that Taurus anyway Tim? It's a long way from the Lotus. I would feel old driving that Taurus.

"After our going to lengths to dispute the likelihood of any RX-7 coming to us any time in the next decade, Inside Line reckons it’s had an inside source at Mazda’s Hiroshima HQ confirm that a new Mazda RX-7 is indeed on the way, though no dates were given.
According to IL’s source, Mazda’s efforts to promote the Renesis engine over the past decade means the company will not allow the rotary engine to fall into the pages of history yet again.
IL’s man on the inside said that development of a new RX-7 is “well along”, and that the next-gen sports car will feature a front-midship-mounted 16X rotary engine making upwards of 201kW (270hp) without any form of forced induction.
The new 16X engine is believed to be built on a 800cc x 2 configuration, as opposed to the 13B’s 654cc x 2 format. Despite the higher capacity, fuel economy is improved by some 20 percent – a factor which will go a long way towards improving the rotary’s image as an oil-burning engine with poor economy and high emissions.
Inside Line says the new (FE?) RX-7 will feature a new twin-clutch six-speed manual transmission, with a feature that will allow drivers to set the revs at which the clutches engage.
An all-new chassis is supposedly part of the project, and Mazda has managed to cut as good as 100kg (220lb), bringing the car down to around 1197kg.
Little else was offered regarding a new RX-8 and the oft-rumoured (and possibly hydrogen-powered) RX-9, except to say that projects for both cars are underway."

Have they hired anyone yet?
Another random subject change. We are still looking for a CAD guy if anyone knows anyone. But we are kinda lowering the requirements to where we'll even teach you. Pay starts at $13/hr if you don't know anything, 40 hrs a week min, time and a half overtime. Mostly CAD, some other annoying little tasks (I'm making this sound great, aren't I?). No, you won't be fetching coffee. Greg was unfortunately way overqualified.
