    If you could re-write and record the D*** in a Box song as "Car in a Box" I could get my brother-in-law to do a flash animation project with it, smurf blue Miatas, and pics of Bean.

    LOL, Bean has already made big plans to disassemble and box up my car if I sell it. He has assured me that they would be fresh, clean boxes and everything would be wrapped up neatly.

    Sorry to hear that. Oh well, we'll have a beer for you anyway!

    There was a price hike? I don't actually buy the tires any more, so I must not have noticed...

    (Seriously though, I don't think the price went up on the 18" sizes - they were high enough already!)

    Yeah, the 13" V710 went up $10 dollars per tire. I know not much, but enough to make the Hankook cheaper. There was a big thread complaining about Kumho pricing over at SCCAforums.com. I wasn't hit with price increases as bad as some other sizes.

    Congrats Thomas! I'm a bit jealous.

    Oh, one tip from another guy who daily drives an RX-8: don't bother monitoring your fuel consumption. With premium up around $3/gallon, you really don't want to know.

    Don't worry, I warmed myself up on the RX-7. Think about only getting 17 mpg and only making 160 crank hp.
