F*ck that damn Miata. The water pump soured quickly, so I start tearing into it on Thursday morning. Friday at noon, I get it installed, re-timed, and start bolting it all back together. Well, guess what happened? I broke a valve cover bolt that somehow made it stick like glue to the block. Pulling it off didnt work, hammer and chisel didnt work, even a crow bar didnt work to get the valve cover off. So, me being the drunk genius I was at that moment fired up the dremmel and CUT the valve cover off. To top it off, I couldnt find one locally that isnt cheaper than $400. So, today I sold that piece of sh!t to someone who has a 5.0 waiting to be put in it. I said f*ck it. It handled well, drove well, but had as much horsepower as a fat chick trying to roll off the bed. So I'm out of a car, again. No, I do not want another f-body. Just something I can work on and not break it. Maybe an earlier year Eagle Talon AWD TSi or something like that. I will NEVER buy another one of those Miatas unless it has 1000hp 3.4 and a built in magic lottery machine.

Re: Manlyhood?
I found a 90 talon tsi awd in muskogee (90 miles away) for 1000. Needs cleaned up and a new exhaust. Not a bad snag, to be honest. I also found a 240z 4 speed that needs a gas tank for 800. I'll be buying one of them tomorrow, definitely. Suggestions?
