Bad news, Guys...
I had surgery on my knee again yesterday... I can't really do very much, am in a bit of pain, and I can't drive my car for a while...I won't be able to installmy mods I bought until I am good enough to work...Check it out! you see the cooler next to me? it's plugged into my leg..It's filled with icewater, and circulates the water around an icepack under my immobilizer.. When people come in my house and ask me what it is, i tell them I have a robotic leg, and it's being recharged...That's whatyou tend to say when you are on too many painkillers...

See what happens when you carry your exhaust all the way home from work? 
Its bad for your knees you know. I guess the icebox is a version of "CAI" for your body yes? When you're done with it, you can hook it up to your car's intake for those hot summer days!
** But seriously, I hope you get well soon so you can enjoy the car again. In the meantime, at least the board is back up! =) so you can enjoy that.

Damn dude, sorry! Looks painful, at least you got some good drugs for it though. Get well soon and admire the TL from a far. It will be that much nicer when you finally do drive it.

Shoofin' TL- Hope you have a smooth recovery and rehab...Hey this maybe a little OT but what the heck...I noticed you posted a message on the S2000 forum...I too am totally impressed with that car after seeing one on Monday. I hope to be in the market for one after tax time is over...anyway, I took a look at your black Miata and that ride is totally BADDD-ASSSS 
...what mods did you install? If I don't get a S2000 I will consider getting a black Miata after seeing yours The arrogance and the mark-ups from the Honda dealers in my area makes me wanna puke 
...but I'm trying not to let that prevent me from getting a S2000.

Soundspeed, I'll see what I can do... Farside, So far, I did minimal modifications...Lets seee....Umm:
Hi flow grille up front
Removed license plate up front
Racing Beat Intake
Koni Adjustable shox
RB springs
16x7 BBS RV's on 225/40/16 Dunlop Sp9000's
RB Style Roll bar
Clear markers on the side
Hyper white low/hi beam headlight bulbs
A nice dose of Zymol polishing wax
That's it for now.. I am in the process of setting up my sound system, and for this coming spring I'm installing Headers, intermediate pipe with hi flow cat and DUAL exhaust(a-la-TL). I'm also plannin on dressing up the interior and engine room..
The car is a lot of fun to drive, didn't feel as tight as the S2000, but probably similar in the fun factor nevertheless..Any magazine that talks about the Miata has nothing less than rants and raves about it being one of the most fun cars they ever drove.. I bought it used, with 13,000(babied) miles on it last april for $16k. It's the '99 touring edition. Anything else?
Ed
Oh yeah, the Hydrocodon (Vicadyn) that I took last night really took advantage of me...According to what my friend said, she was on the floor laughing to the 45 minute conversation that I had with her that I still can't remember even talking to her.. I took two pills due to the pain involved.. I do remember counting sheep though, as she told me this morning she said I was counting with her on the phone...she said I was "as high as a kite"..Damn, i wish I remember what I said..not to mention she was on the train going home from her corporate x-mas party..
