Default Re: I'm gettin the bug

Hey Mike,

Just stumbled upon this post and thought I'd give you my input... So a while back I posted up a few cars I was looking into and I'll have you know I didn't buy any of them.... I did however, buy a Mazda miata with 103000 miles on it for 2200 bucks. As of Thursday I have about 6 grand in it suspension tires and wheels roll cage brakes exhaust not a lot of money but the fun I have had with this car at the autocross events in the summer months is just out of this world! The cornering grip this car has puts a mile wide smile across my face. This summer I'm thinking about building an autocross mustang the prices are coming down and the power to weight ratio is spot on! The aftermarket for the mustang is pretty much limitless as well. Im not sure what you are into these days but on paper running 2 weekends a month for 9 months icy weather permitting it cost me 1300 bucks in fuel, maintenance, and entry fees. I got into the group through Penn State Behrend in Erie and a good friend of mine is a chemist for Dunlop tires so he keeps me in the loop of events too. The people don't care what you run and most would rather see a man with a million miles behind the wheel of a neon than a brand new 100k corvette tearing up their parking lot... I love it consider it! I promise you won't regret it!
