That actually looks really good. complements the wheels well.

Love the basket and the gold wheels. First shot is perfect.

^ Agreed. When I read "plasti-dipped the vents gold" I cringed. Then I saw the pic... looks great

Somewhat recent photo of my TL. I was completely pissed I had the wrong setting on my SLR. I took some incredible photos only to realize 95% of them were useless due to the settings. Only picture that was somewhat decent was this one. Trying to get back out soon and redo the photos.

Is the plastic still on the rear seats of the Evo? Are you keeping it as a collectors item?

Took the V out yesterday to stretch her legs a bit... It will be 4 years at the end of August that I picked her up and I still am in LOVE with this car.. The smile that it puts on my face every time I drive it I can't put a price on..

Installed some mod red C5 Z06 seats into my vette. First time out of the garage this season. Just need to finish changing the interior color over to black/ red.

looking good. Those seats though look like you never even drive it. Wish mine still looked that fresh. Also it is best not to put your finger in front of the camera

Thanks for noticing the .....Sorry couldn't resist.....

Since the day I took it home the seats have been treated with Scotchguard on a regular basis. And if I'm wearing jeans I always sit on an old pillow case ( I keep two in the car) so there is no chance of dye transfer.. Have to be careful with the Titanium because it is non-forgiving, but I like it because it is somewhat rare especially on Radiant Silver cars ..

I hadn't driven the 335 in a week or so and put a lot of seat time with the Alpina, I get back in the 335 and it feels like it has manual steering. And the 335 feels so nimble, light, and low to the ground. The Alpina really is a land yacht. But that is why I bought it, for road trips and leisurely cruises of comfort. You would think the big wheels would give it a rough ride but no, it's buttery smooth. Do have to take care not to hit pot-holes and go slow over big bumps etc.

as a matter of fact yes. it still even has the plastic covers on the aluminum pedals. it's my 4th Evo and I plan on keeping it stock and as mint as I possibly can.

it has less miles than the Stingray. I just drain the oil every six months and top off the sealant on it and drive it once a month.

Thank you for the kind words! I had the day off yesterday so I took the TL out for a quick spin. Feels great to row through the gears and hearing the whine from the blower. Picture was taken on my phone. SLR wasn't charged.

what a view! I'm squinting to find the Miata! You don't realize how small they are until they're next to another small car.

Must of missed where you picked up the Alpina but it looks great. I have always loved the way they looked with the wheels and the little extra aero bits.

Really notice how small the NA/NB is when they're next to me in the F150.

Oh most definitely in my plan.

Those or 15x8 RPF1s.

I just put the new tires RSRR for the stock ones since the original ones came with the car were like 10 year old tires haha A full set of tires cost me $260 cash which is ridiculous. haha

Mmmm.

Last AutoX event I was attending, I had the pleasure of watching a supercharged Miata with full aero gunning for fastest time. He was 4 seconds faster than me with lap times being under the 1 minute mark

Super fast.

I haven't seen any in the AutoX events here but I will keep my eye out - pretty much any slightly prepped Miata with the right driver has potential to dominate.

I think Brian runs their ND or 124 mostly. I think they recently picked up an RF, not sure if he's racing that one.
Haven't been on the Miata forum in a while, since I got the F.
