Yeah- that's why I made that swap story up.... for the diesel connection. I like diesels. I had an F350 dually crew cab with a 7.3... and that Fiat 2.0 turbo van I had in Sicily was cool too.

I <3 cheapo Japanese shitboxes.
I've had a string of 91-95 Ford Escorts (two wagons, two GTs), an NX2K, an 85 Corolla GT-S, and now my Miata. Nothing I like more than <$1000 quirky little cars that I can beat the snot out of, especially ones with turbos and high redlines.
Stopped and looked at a Triumph Stag today, but the thing was a basket case. Shame, too, because it was damn cool looking.

I also suffer from this debilitating disease. Every time I see an NX2000, Cressida, AE86, 1st gen MX6 GT and basically any old Mazda, I drool. My Fiancee does not share my appreciation for the older japs. She even says my Miata is a pile(and it makes me cry), when in reality, it's pretty damned nice. I miss my 97 MX6 LS, and I would like another, but once again she thinks it's UGLY!
Though, on the flip side, she doesn't put down my ideas for a new car. I've been tossing around the idea of an EVO and she's a fan because it's 4 door and AWD. I've also been thinking of a Mazdaspeed Protege.
