It’s certainly possible. Unlikely, but possible.

Your wife and my wife might be related! My wife usually shows up to hot rod shows in her “Real Hot Rods Have 3-Pedals” shirt and loves to baffle the old guys with her car.

Stock Miata seat is MAYBE 25lbs on the early cars.

Me too! And, I go weeks without seeing another C30.

Oh, then... we’re well on our way. We’ve got everything but a stock one. Lemons, turbo, V-6, V-8, Spec and Rat Rod! I suppose we could build a diesel one.

Absolutely. My wife and I have a couple of flavors of Miatas, and converting one to hard-core track use makes you want a street one.

2000-2003 (E39) BMW M5. So much so, I rolled the dice on one.

Check!

Well, we could sell you ours! Come on down to Honest Bionic’s used cars, where we always have several old Bavarians in stock.

Yes, but Airwolf was the (marginally) better show says my contemporary focus group of 13 year olds.

Travolta does!

Ours is Sahara. A slightly more brown tan. I loved that BMW had about 25 different color options back in the day.

On aircooled VW engines... it will leak like crazy. I tried it once, huge puddle. Went back to conventional, leaks returned the “normal” rate.

That’s what I was thinking... basically free mods, many of which can be undone as needed.

That’s totally amazing. It’d look great in our 2002, which is already the color of a manila envelope.

Right! This is the correct answer. The side scoops on the 488 are for the intercoolers. Otherwise, it’s a mild evolution of the 458.

Nope, it’s just always 1987 in her corner of the trailer park.

We went once, in 2011. Seeing the drivers you know plus a bunch of other folks brought in is awesome when on the grid. Garages are open, the cars are out. We saw a bunch of factory drivers and driver-celebrity folks like Sabine Schmidt and Chris Harris, before we knew he was Chris Harris.

We miss you guys, too! We’re thinking about doing a Chumpcar race at Brainerd some year. You guys in as drivers?
