I love blue and green, favourite colors, both in dark colors look good on cars.

i second this motion. is it brand new? if not how many miles? how much did you pay? DOES IT RIP BALLS UP AND DOWN THE STREET!?!?!? RIP BALLS!!!!

on another note about rotary motors this dude i used to work with (at burger king

) just bought an FD for 600 bucks and said it was in mint condition. after doubting it for awhile i finally saw it today...its front left quarter panel was missing completely and the front right quarter panel is damaged badly, along with the right side of the rear bumper looking like somebody hit it doing like 30

Nice car, man!

Yes, looking forward to seeing you at the meet. You'll get me in the corners but I'll get you in the straights.

He also gets you in the blueness factor.

I however win in table storage at least

Yeah, man. No dead hookers in the trunk for me. Perhaps only if she's a midget.

Yeah it's brand new. I got it for a little over invoice (minus the the $5k rebate Mazda was giving out), so what I consider a pretty good price for this car. I know I could have gotten a better deal by cross-shopping other dealers, but they only had it in ticket-me red. This was the only blue one in the area. Speaking of which, I never really liked blue, but it had really grown on me in the last few months leading up to the purchase. I don't like blue for anything else, but the right shade on the right car looks absolutely sexy.

It's still in the "break-in" period so I haven't been ripping down the street, but I can tell you it picks up speed rather nicely. 20-70 goes by quick, even at part throttle. You don't get slammed with torque, it's more like wow I'm going that fast already?

Yeah the meet should be hella fun. We'll all be driving very different cars this time. It will be interesting trying to fend off that 400hp monster you have...

AHTOXA · Post by **AHTOXA** » Fri Dec 18, 2009 10:29 pm

Correction: I will be fending off the 400 hp beast that I have.

I better not end up in a wall or off a cliff.

Blue cars are, as has been said countless times, better than the exact same car in any other color. Its just fact.

As for the meet, Im excited to have something to play catch-up with this year. Even with my car running like shit I had to tone things down a bit. I guess that makes up for the first meet where the Rabbit could out-handle me in the twisties in the flexible convertible. Maybe Ill have a power mod or two by that point though. Im already antsy
