Hmmm, I don't drag race my Pinto any more, so I have a pretty stout 351W going to waste. I could transfer the Windsor to my Comet and use the Comet's 331 for the Miata. :D

Too bad I have I gotten so lazy in my old age. :cry:

Not for me.

If I get to the point of a modern engine swap, it will be a Coyote or 4V Mod. Although, both of those would be tough for a Miata.
Indeed a 363W sounds much better, and cooler.

When Australia Post decides that my parcel, coming from the other side of the country, has to go half way back across the country after it arrives in my state...

Scalpers. No asking for $475 for something that goes for $275 is not acceptable in my book especially when it's still in the shipping box from the online store you just got it from. I would rather buy the lesser version from my LHS and throw all the option parts at it before I'd spend $200 over retail on on some scalper's kit.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

If people wouldn't buy them, they wouldn't do it. Simple as that.

Something is only worth what you are willing to pay for it. If someone else is willing to pay more to get what they want (when they want it), more power to them.

He'll likely be sitting on it for awhile at that price.

My 401K balance irritates me. 3 years ago I was all set for early retirement. I decided to keep working, but knowing I could step away at any moment took away all of my work related stress. Good thing I didn't retire. :cry:

Don't say it. We're all suppose to be completely oblivious brain-dead morons who all can't see through glass and just believe everything that comes out of that mumbling facehole.

Every single news outside referring to this as a crack!! This is not a crack! By definition, a crack does not lead to multiple parts. This is a break, separation, fracture, breach, etc. This is not a crack!! :roll:

Don't know why this bothers me so much, but it does.

They were cracks when they were younger, but they grew apart as time went on.
