I just noticed you got a new bumper. Where did you put the oil cooler this time?

Gotta keep at it. That WRX is #2 in voting. The Subie guys vastly outnumber us Miata fans. If their forums get on it it'll be tough to hold them off.

When are they cutting off the polling?

I had some really nice magnetic numbers, but they blow off over 100mph or so.

The residue sucks and is a complete pita to remove.

Just buy some vinyl numbers. Static can work fine. These guys do all sorts of stuff.

Seriously. I appreciate the thought, but one day, one person, one vote.

-It would increase my tire budget by something like 700%

Sorry to lengthen the thread jack, but it is good to see you are kicking *** with 'only' 225 NT-01 tires. I have been doing the math on the alternatives and reached the same conclusions as you, especially the 700% tire budget increase part. More aero + cheap(er) tires = win (hopefully)

Voted, go Andrew!

You know, I was a bit surprised, but just looking at the NA car with aero (Andrew's car) and all the S2000 cars with aero, I actually like the look of the Miata better.
