Ummm, OK.

I tried to "help" him save $10K, but he's having none of it.

Holy ******* tight little *******. I replied nothing bad really, just that the kid's an idiot and anyone that entertains his lie is just as stupid, and within 5 minutes its gone. No wonder I haven't been on m.net in like 2 years. I wonder if any of the mods on m.net can squeeze out a ****, or if their ******** are too tight for even that.

Well, that makes it certain. I still have time off from surgery and I think I'm gonna take a day to figure out how to make a crazy little video about m.net. Something really good that sums it up perfectly. Like el fez in that gay little hat ******* peg obsessed in her mouth while driving miatas with teeth in the bumper in a parade. Not to mention music in the background.

Lets see how long before this facetious rambling gets deleted

It wont be cheap, but you will achieve your goal.

Of course, by the time that has been done, it would be cheaper to buy a Mosler or Ultima GTR which will break 200 mph stock, as delivered from the factory.

Hey on second thought, you could buy a Mosler, Ferrari, or Ultima GTR, and mod it to look like your family's miata. That way, you can retain your sentimental feeling towards the car, plus achieve your goals. That would be one hell of a sleeper!

What The ****???!?!!?!
Can you believe the mods? What a douche! How can you even remotely think that troll is serious when his list includes a turbo kit and a racing beat header? Not to even mention everything else.
We should get him to join here and give him a royal MTnet "e-*** beating" and properly ban the ************!

You're right, there is nothing at all similar about two teenagers who recently inherited old Miatas blindly looking at dropping $70k+ into them. Shame on you kotomile for even suggesting a correlation.
