Well, in my quest for a fun, relatively inexpensive car I crossed to the dark side. It's not quite a Ford, so it's beyond the dark side, it's a Mazda Miata. The car is solid with a new clutch, muffler and tires and a relatively low mileage engine. After inquiring about the car I realized the owner was a friend of one of my friend's dad(saw the car at church this morning). After I settled on the deal he says...oh and I got an extra head I'll throw in and the hard top too. Not a bad day.

Given enough time, I'll probably be jumping to this dark side too. I just need to find someone willing to buy my car, and I'm not trying very hard to sell it... yet. I'll probably get more serious after I wrap up my class for this season. I'm looking forward to being able to work on an engine that isn't half buried in the passenger compartment. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I know I'll eventually regret selling my TA though.
