Jelly or whatever the cool kids say for jealous these days.

A 734 VIN - I need a bathroom to do my deed.

Probably "Too common" for Ralph, but below is some eye candy from a local service shop. The guys who work there are really down to earth good guys. who love talking about cars and sharing interesting details about the various models and servicing them. They treat everyone the same regardless of the value of the vehicle they drive (rather than being snooty like some of the dealership people can be).

@Thrift Vader If I was anywhere near you, we'd have to make this happen...

Could be wrong, but i think there is a kit for that. The 7 roadsters look awesome.

It's an NB miata with an RX7 butt transplant. Looks pretty solid!

I once saw a miata that had a twin turbo Rx7 motor under the hood

I've found most higher end car people to be well adjusted people. I have lamented about the Ferrari experiences, but have been treated like family nearly every other place I've been to - McLaren, Porsche, Lamborghini, local mechanics and used classic car dealers, etc.

Edit, I'll also add, I think at many of the mid-level dealerships (MB, BMW, Audi etc.), some of the sales staff is bitter that they can't afford the cars they sell. Thankfully I found a great guy at BMW - but even at BMW, I've lamented about my experience with the i8 and them treating me (this was in SoCal, not Atlanta where Adrian is) like I couldn't handle the power.

Oh hellz yes. I'm more and more into these 70s/80s trucks. A few months ago back to age9 or w/e Ida been like, "Wtf is the deal w this sub-genre??" The lines are so clean..maybe something to do with everything being an X5 or X5 clone these days. Dat ground clearance? Best refer to it as a "car".

Praying for HRoi's cars' safety.

All ok, thanks. A falling coconut fell 20 feet from the Macan but that's as exciting as it got.

Daytona Beach (which makes this post somewhat car related I suppose) got hit much harder though.
