I don't have a trailer, don't have a place to park her, and too cheap to pay
for track time (which is many hours away from here). Until we bought the
Lava the car just sat in the garage minding its business. Now that I don't
have the room for the car things are much different.

Wanna swap cars (or wives)?

Send picture of wife.
If someone takes wife, does she come with a Miata?

Picture of Wife:
pbase.com/sonny2/image/80067391
But I'm keeping her for as long as she'll have me.

If we swapped cars, you'd still have the same problem -- too many toys & not
enough room to store 'em. I'll be more than happy to donate some storage
space. Instead of charging you a fee for storage space, you let me take it
to the track now & then...

Regards,
Sonny

If everything is coming your way,
You're in the wrong lane!!!

Ah, but I could probably sell your car easier than I can sell mine.
