she refused to let us or anyone else drive it..... (this is the only non modded one he ever had)



it still has its org turbo and engine (never been apart or out of car) 160,000 miles

Sounds sweet man. So when are you going to get one that you CAN modify? That engine will probably be on it's way out in the next few years too... so an OEM rebuild will be in order.

 

mazda family sweet

 

nice ride, but you should get one you can modify.

 

Congrats! And never mind all these crazies saying you should have a car you can mod. They would rather be working on their broken car in their driveway than be driving a nice stocker.



My philosophy has always been, if you need a car you can modify, then you need at least two cars.

 

modded cars are not all they are cracked up to be

 

have something different! leave it stock

 

Having modded cars is what it's all about, you guys are nuts.



You should always have another car though..a stock/reliable one to get to work and back..my sig shows I'm aware of that!
