2 2nd gens = 1 1st gen

The degenerate, twin-turbo'ed luxury 3 rd gens also get credit:

3 3rd gens = 1 1st gen

Genuine '83 LE wheels are incredibly rare and therefore worth 12A credit while off the car:

1 decent set of LE wheels = 1 1st gen"

I wish I could make this. Maybe I should ditch class Bueller... Bueller....

I had to remove my rack and storage box from my Rav4 so I could pull into my garage to tear it down. So I decided to see what it looks like on the SA. The SA is ready for expeditions!

Thanks, Marco. I love the stance, but unfortunately it's sitting on the bump stops. So it's coming apart after I finish building a bed in the back of my Rav4.

Looks cool, I've been thinking about getting a roof rack or something like it to transport my Hoosiers to the track. How does your rack mount on to your car?

Gravity. Thule and Yakima make mounts to mount to the rain rails. The roof rack is the stock rack from my Rav4. I just had to take it off so I could pull my Rav4 into my garage to do some work in the rain. So I decided to set the rack on top of the SA to see how it looked. Eventually the SA will get a rack though.

I feel like the office worker who didn't chip in on the lottery pool and now wants his share after we hit the jackpot, but I'll be there cashing in on that beer.

I'm going to try to make it out, I've missed too many meets lately. I think I may have some family crap to deal with after work but maybe it won't take too long...

4-2-13 12A count

0 FB's = 0 12A's (Some LE wheels did make an appearance)
2 FC's = 1 12A (Brett, Lee)
1 FD = .333 12A's (Jeremy)
4 FE's - .5 12A's (Holly, Marcos, Tommy, Luis)

7 Boingers = 0 12A's (Crit, Kristy, Kevin Mayo, Mike S., Ray, Zach, Mike C.)

Total 12A count = 1.833

Only rotaries and Mazdas get pics Mike, you know that.

Brett, I'll give you my 12A when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Lee's FC is one fine car and exactly the right color and finish.

He wants to practically give it to someone who will appreciate and take care of it, which is why he's bringing it to the OGTA meetings.

I would probably be that person if I hadn't just committed to SkyActiv technology.

For the price he's asking, I could have had free gas for the next 10 years of commuting into Atlanta in that pretty thing, saving the miles on my precious 12As.

But alas, the Rotary Gods had other ideas.

The White One will rise again.

Does anybody know this car or its owner, who goes by "sleeping-7" on the forum? He's from Cumming, says he will be at the May OGTA meeting:

That's Aaron Lunsford. He had a black 2nd gen a while back. I just picked up a set of strut bars from him about a month ago...

It's even got your favorite interior, Ray:



This is his FC:

Aaron is moving up in the neighborhood.

And for a car like that, I just might have a red leather driver's seat upgrade for him.

Love the white. And it's an SE, to go along with those gull wings.
