Am I a lone wolf in a sea of Corvettes and Mustangs?

I wish you weren't. I'm right down the road from you. If you know any good FC S5 5 speeds for sale in the area, let me know.

looks like you might be. haha. i go down to pcb every year and i ALWAYS scope the place out for rx's, but i've only seen one yellow fd, one red s5 vert at a dealership, and a silver 83 from alabama that comes down the same week as us every year. it's pretty sad.

There are more of us in the area. I have an '87 T2 and '88 vert. (Turbo vert in progress). There are at least 3 other owners within a few blocks of my house.

There are a few people in Panama City, unless they all moved. When I was there, there was a Yellow FD (tam, I don't remeber his name on here), a 10th Anniversary, a white vert, and some others. The only time that we met up 4 people showed up. I know there were more there, but it just wasn't happening. If he's still around Ice Blue was trying to get a shop off the ground there... But I don't know if he even signs onto the forum anymore.

Yep that was me on the bridge. The paint is actually blue, just buried under alot of oxidation. The PO got a 400$ Mayco paint job. I was startled at how clean your vert is. The '88 vert i bought in November only has 47k miles on it and looks like crap compared to yours.

Right on Paseo! see you soon man

Mad Designer
My 'vert looks horrible. lots of fading everywhere
original paint and everything else (62k miles) paid 1000 dollars for her.

If you are in need of any assistance or anything let me know! I absolutely love working on these cars.

I saw a black (I think) 'vert coming by the Callaway/Parker Winn dixie Tuesday, wonder if he's on the forum

MMoore4545,

Your car still has paint. The red base coat and the clear are coming off my vert so bad it looks like a lizard shedding skin. Yours honestly looked ok. Hell even the Mayco on my turbo looks worse. It still goes just fine tho .

I've been thinking about going to the April Wiregrass Region (Dothan) Solo2 if I can get a few issues fixed on the t2. I need to post results so I can get MazdaComp wholesale pricing. I don't know if anyone else in PC is into autox, just throwing it out there.

I've seen a red s4 vert about a dozen times since the first of the year around town that is absolutely pristine.
