Our new ride

[92EvilTalon]

Lookin' good! When does Jana learn to drive it?

Never I think.... hahaha

Very nice color too. Drive it like you stole it man. And to Jana, just joking... I bet you can drive it when ever you want too.

[AJ]

Patty @ LSE said she could learn on the MR since that's closer to needing a new clutch. ;) We may head to a parking lot and either:

A) teach her to drive
B) break in the flexible seating

[Kracka]

I learned to drive stick by test-driving used (at dealerships, not private party) Neons and Cavaliers, I suggest Jana doing the same (her choice of econocar(s) though).

Hey that's the new color, Old Goat Grey. Did I see Jana's nipple in the reflection on that bumper? :p

[tim]

Looking good, I like the color a lot.

[AJ]

Yeah, that color is Titanium Gray II Metallic. It shines pretty nice in the sun :D

[Jana]

Well, I took it out for my first spin this morning. I got up to third around our little townhome loop, so nothing too fast... but I did a pretty decent job. I didn't kill it all, so that's a start. :D

[Hoffer00]

So with all the money you saved. What is your first MAJOR mod.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I would imagine that the intercoolers on those would heatsoak pretty easily considering they're a top mount with no kind of hood vent. Unless there's maybe some kind of ducting on the hood that takes in air from the grille?

[AJ]

Yeah, there is ducting in the hood for the top mount IC. Looks like it is as good as needed for that setup and normal daily driving performance.

As far as our first mod? A set of winter wheels & tires. Popssible intake & exahust from the mazdaspeed collection down the road to retain the warrenty.
