I know I have! This is BeaterZ’s Z that he just sold to me . N ice dude, nice car! Interestingly, it all started as a joke in comments on Oppo.

It’s a fairly stock and has 115k miles on it.

YOU HAVE TO. No Oppo for you otherwise.

Also, you can just shave your head.

yeah... no... ixnay on the shaved head.... the fluffball on me head is all that keeps strangers from calling the cops on me at all times

shaved me looks like a fuckin neo nazi (the permanent resting bitch face doesnt help)

not a look ill be going for if i can help it (if i cant help it... i guess ill have to start smiling or something)

but whatever... does this count?

I don’t doubt it. The slower car fast phenomenon is a real thing, and it’s fun. But it’s also  a rush to get into something with lots of hp and press the accelerator. An entirely different experience.

Nice car! Congrats! You’re going to love that V8.

A GTI daily and something with a big V8 for the sunny days is the ideal garage in my mind.

It is fine. The last one sold was only $626k *nervous laughter* pocket change....

But honestly a C6Z all prepped for racing would be perfect.

I am happy for you, but a little sad for me because BeaterZ offered to let me take his Vette for a drive in exchange for letting him try my Miata.

That red looks really good in person.

There will be more toys :)  In the meantime, you might have to settle for the ol’ Legacy.

You can still try the Miata sometime if you want, although I might be selling it in the coming months. If you're looking for a sub-$5,000 toy it could be yours.

I was tempted by corvettes but ultimately I picked up my 89' mustang instead. It might have just been a small reprieve though as now I am looking to get into a new Camaro for my daily . The chevy V8 pull is strong both literally and figuratively.

Does it have stability control, or at least traction control?
