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.

This car is pretty much stock. It has crappy Sensatrack shocks on it. I can reach my hand in from top and reach the oil filter. I think that would be the easiest way to get to it with the engine cold. The guy who I bought it from is about 60 so he's a bit old school(he owns a 56 T Bird) and he was running 15W50 in it. I'll probably drain that and replace with some synthetic 5w30.
