Hmm. Friday is my last day. New job starts on Monday.

Never sell your tools! I feel helpless when I am without mine.

Why are you selling your belongings as part of this new career move? You aren't going to work for the Hare Krishnas or the Moonies or something, are you? It is northern California you are moving to, after all. As far as I'm concerned, you achieve enlightenment when you close the circuit on a wall switch.

Permanent hardtop, so, fashion accessory.

What I'm leaning towards- possibly in black

It should go well with my chiseled jaw and threatening beard.

I rented a piece of construction machinery to Don Johnson for a personal project he was working on. For the record, he doesn't wear pastel linen suits with the sleeves rolled up and loafers with no socks.

Joe didn't sell his shit. he gave it away.

For the record I bought the Pistons/Rods. :party:

Not to say Joe didn't give me a bunch of awesome shit for free too.

Good choice.

Che would be proud.

See, that was what I was worried about. Any other ideas?

I was thinking this since it'd be original for Key West

I wear a faded realtree camo boonie hat.

Gives me that "crazy as a tree full of rats" look.

Hats, in the 21st century, are not an appropriate fashion accessory for the stylish male outside of war-themed videogames.

I was being serious. That's about as classy as a hat with a bill on it gets. I wear one of those on the rare occasions that i wear a hat.


Except mine is covered in skulls.

Because i'm classy as shit.

I do not like it when the outside of my ketchup packets is sticky.

I'm officially converting from CR to here. All I did over there was hung out in the Pub. Anyway, sold my '94 NA last night, which means I'll be picking up my soon to be '05 Black Mica MSM next Saturday, and autocrossing it Sunday at a practice event. Should be good fun. You guys seem to be more fun, and actually have brains which is thoroughly lacking over on CR.

Does good eating do that to them?

Hate to do this but, I am going to have to go outside the conventional wisdom of MT and get a hat. I will update as my progress furthers.

You mean the Cadet? I like the Cadet. I hate trucker hats, baseball hats, fedoras, etc...I do like Paperboys and Cabbies, though I realistically have no reason to wear them ever. Except for being ironic and looking like an asshole.

You are right to come over here. We will make all the pain go away and the bad men will disappear. MSM will need some work before it is up to our standards, of course. Better get ready to fight that shitty stock ecu and overall horrible turbo system. Welcome.


Meanwhile....the best advertising for...anything I have ever seen. Must read.

MSMs are the pinnacle of turbocharging that all Miatas strive to achieve. You have nothing to learn here.
