New car - V8 Miata
Just wanted to show everyone my new toy. She's rough but a lot of fun. Paid $8150 for her (this car was discussed here before when she was on Ebay for $12K BIN).

I'm taking credit for this score.
By the way, your comment about "getting in the habit" of spending money cracked me up -- my wife is the exact same way. She'll call me on my cell at work to make sure it's okay to buy a $15 pair of shoes. She'll freak out a bit if the total is more than she expected at the grocery checkout. I've been working on getting her to relax a little bit about the finances while not destroying her excellent sense of frugality.

I don't know why your wife and I are wired like this. I bought a new power switch for my welder the other day. I've been putting it off because the cost for the part and shipping was $7.50 (been running it hardwired for a while).

The floormats came out of Red Beast (bought the car in 2003). So, I did keep them around for 7 years. I threw them out when a rat got into my shed and died. A lot of stuff that was not sealed up in plastic tubs got thrown out so Mr Mouse wouldn't have anything to live in. They were in horrible shape BUT better than what I currently have (nothing). I'm going to have to spend $25 or so on replacements now.

Pics on your site don't work for me, anyone else?

Hmm, I think I had this problem once before with one or two people. I seem to remember ..... Nah, that was a frame problem. Are you saying there is not a single picture on my entire site (there are currently over 1,700 on there) or just the blank pictures at the bottom of some of my pages? Thanks in advance for the help with this ...

I haven't stared for hours under the hood but I should be able to find some sort of right angle hoses that will bring them down behind the back of the engine. I would SO like to put some valve covers on that said "Corvette".
