So the other day, I was driving down the road....alone....all by myself without another car in sight. Suddenly, I hear this loud WHAM!! on the car. I immediately check the mirrors and see something grey and long fly off the car. I nail the brakes and do a u-turn to go see WTF just flew off the car.....thinking some kids in the woods threw something at the car. I go back, stop, get out of the car and look at the hardtop and see a scuff on it, and look around.

I take what I see and add it all up.....and conclude the shape that caused the noise and the scuff, came from the dead squirrel in the road. Yes, a squirrel fell out of a tree and right onto the car as I happened to drive by. What are the ******* chances....

(shitty phone pic....but ya can see the proof)

In the market for another miata since mine was Irma'd.

Seeing decent NB examples sell for similar prices as shitty NAs is unreal. I had no idea the gap was this close.

Someone sell me a car so I don't have to get robbed looking for one in Miami.

Found a bone stock MSM in Miami that has clear coat failure asking $5,500. That's it so far besides **** tier NAs asking 4 grand.

First find in Tampa - https://tampa.craigslist.org/psc/cto...349252455.html

That's part of the reason I chose it. I could not recall ever seeing that color. But he's indicated he's looking for something fancier and it's not necessarily looking for something inexpensive. Don't currently have my computer up so I can't do any more searching.

You know I appreciate you. Check out the car I sent you when you get a chance.

Good news everyone!

My Subaru failed its biennial CA SMOG inspection! In order to get my $41.70 out of this experience, we are going to play a little game: using nothing but the image below, why did I fail my SMOG inspection?





Background: Completely stock 2004 Subaru WRX Wagon, 5MT, EJ20, yadda, yadda, daily driver, one hundred and a bunch thousand miles, and lots of dust. I literally work in a lettuce field, so bite me.

I'll give you one hint: It failed a visual.

Winnrar will receive nothing, because I'm already out $41.70 and its going to cost me another $41.70 to get it tested again so I can get my ******* registration complete.
