Omg *hides again*

I was demo’d an Eiffel Tower at a coffee shop, not the weirdest thing in this thread yet.

So, what is the weirdest thing ever? Two chicks with dicks meeting on a car forum, falling in love, moving in together, and becoming engaged to each other?

Or is it me, the missing piece?

Oh yeah... So the guy that looked at the Firebird wasn't able to see the Miata on Monday like I thought he would, but he'll see it tomorrow and let me know. Based on what he said I feel 70-80% confident he'll go with the bird, but I can only hope for now. I'm just so ready to get on with life already, and have a car I fully enjoy driving again.

ANXIOUS

Aren't we all?

Sigh, guess I'll message again tomorrow if he doesn't...

I'm not anxious.

I thought about myself.

If I were an item in a Michelin Star Restaraunt, I'd be a three course meal. A riotously good appetizer, followed by a enticing main course, served with a desert created from the realm of obscurity.

I'm going to assume, due to lack of an update, that the deal fell through.

He never got the chance to see the Miata, can't say I blame him for wanting to see both before deciding. Someone else is supposed see it Wednesday though.

That's ok, it's giving me time to decide on if I want a NA8 or NB2 Miata more.

You still have the engine in the wrong place. Possibly the wrong orientation for it to be there.

They're going to be here around 2, so I guess we'll see.

Just sold the Firebird, and just cried. It's gone now and I cried more...

My aluminum line came! I may need a uhhh....the thing you shove into the line to expand it back to round... looks like a sounding rod lol (get your minds out of the gutter). Swag? A swag? I'm not sure. But there's a tool for what I'm thinking of but I can't remember the name. Some of the coil looks pretty flattened which may not play nice with the compression fittings.

A tube expander, but all the ones I'm finding are for stepping up to the next size to slip together and solder which is not what I'm after. I just want to make it round and 3/8ths inch again. I'll have to see what the exact ID of the tube is and just wing it I guess.

Congrats Casey! Just remember, it's all in the name of moving forward.

You can use steel balls the size of the tube's ID to round it back out, even with curves and bends. Just use some soapy water and push them through one after the other until they come out freely. It's how they make the tubing for brass instruments.

Side note I suppose my wanted ad looks ok:



Thanks Chris! I cried 4 times in total yesterday, but the thought of having another Miata keeps me going.

Oh yeah, the one that bought the Firebird showed up in a NA6 Miata. SO THERE, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT JUST ME.

Bitch, I cried when my rusty ass Geo Prism went to the junk yard. When my cat died I realized it was the same crying and sadness as the Geo. You're not the only one,don't worry. Pretty sure I'd stab someone over the Celica.

That makes me feel a bit better. I miss it, and I'm all agitated today... probably doesn't help there aren't any Miatas for sale that I want to buy.



I'm so glad I keep you going.
