How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways
![Default](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/icons/icon1.gif)
so in looking for a replacement miata with a 1.8 and less miles than my current i found this nb. 99, 5 speed, 106k miles, factory bose sound system, leather, windblocker, megan coliovers, ugly wheels, recent head refresh
, timing belt and water pump, has common rocker rust on driver side but not nearly as bad on passenger side. my question is it worth the asking price of 3900

Get it Brain, you'll love the reliability and low maintenance. Mine was in the shop almost monthly for four years. They are great cars while under warranty, where you get a to drive a new a4 monthly as a loaner. It's far more comfortable then a WRX or MS3. The best part is, nobody knows what an S4 is and they are slower then a new tuned 335i, but god bless those Recaros!

Ugh. New job, still **** schedule. Have to leave the house at 4:15am and won't be getting home most days until 5-6pm. At least my pay will basically be doubled from my old job, even if I won't have any time to do **** during the week. Also Tues-Sat. sort of for the win. Waking up at 3am is **** though, especially when I'm very much a night owl and love being up in the late hours of the night and early morning.

I'm a published author!
Okay, so it's only a web blog page for home machinists:
Wrench/Hammer Combination Tool for Mini Mill | MachinistBlog.com
It's a combo tool I saw on the web a while back, and finally got around to making one for myself. Very handy. I'm thinking about making a dozen or so, and selling them to fund my hobby.
Leaving for Disney in 2 hours. I'm more excited then my 8 year old son.

Tell me to stop stressing over my car and that I have the knowledge and will too see this through. Once year ago I had one of the best Miatas in the country; today I have a good set of shocks and front brakes. Everything else is toast.
