My dad decided not to get the MX-5.

lol

sorry, you just seemed so excited a few days ago What's he gonna get instead?

[xHaZxMaTx]

He's not planning on getting anything, for now; just gonna keep the Protege. Which isn't a bad thing, that car's still fun to drive.

[xHaZxMaTx]

He changed his mind. He went and got it earlier this morning. Heehee, it's fuuun. :3

BUMP!

Pics!

[ImJ]

Wow, looks great!

[Koenigsegg_Rox]

Wow, pretty cool. I've liked the third-gen MX-5s for a while now, they look nice.

[xHaZxMaTx]

More pics.



I made a booboo.



And a short video. :3

[boganbusman]

lol . . . I can see what happened there. You started to get sideways, so you quickly let off the throttle and the car snapped back the other way (I think?)

Nice purchase anyway.
What makes the Limited different to the standard one? Is it just a plate and a bit of bling on the A-pillar?

That's exactly what happened. I scared the crap out of myself, I thought I was going to hit the curb.

Nice purchase anyway.

Chrome A-pillar, chrome grill trim, chrome door handles, different rims, body colour (Velocity Red), Bose stereo system, black leather interior, cloth top (as opposed to vinyl), and my dad said something about a body brace in the engine compartment. There's no performance modifications, but the LEs were released before the regular models, so ours is the 320th 2006 model made.

Haha, looks like you have yourself a little road course there... Good stuff man.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Yes, more pics, deal with it.

Nice miata, is it RWD? to drift with?

[xHaZxMaTx]

It is RWD, though I wouldn't drift in it. I have done a few power slides, though.

[TheStig]

Where there even Miata's build without RWD??

[Koenigsegg_Rox]

Nope. Only the crappy Japanese cars are FF

[PSZeTa]

Didn't make any sense.

[TheStig]

Nope. Only the crappy Japanese cars are FF

I know they are RWD

My dad is finally gonna switch from driving old and rundown Saabs to a newer car.
He's getting a 3 years old Ford Focus C-Max to replace the 15 years old Saab 900S .
It's gonna be the newest and most expensive car we've had since I was born.

So.. From this..



To this:



(Obviously not the exact cars, and the C-Max won't be tuned. But the colours are correct afaik.)
We'll get the car in a couple of weeks.

:edit:

The C-Max will have the standard 1.6l 100~hp engine...
Our old Saab has a 2.0l low-pressure turbo engine with 150hp.

[Stereo]

Hazmat, I see your license plate! muahahaha.

[xHaZxMaTx]

/me shrugs. My dad's planning on changing it, soon, anyway. RAREMX5 is available.

Looks lovely.

[Pabl0z]

You do realize that the Focus and Focus C-Max are two different things?
The C-Max is like a small minivan.
My dad has been planning on getting a small minivan-type of a car for a while, because he has a bad back, and that way he wouldn't have to crouch so much when getting into the car.
So he wasn't even trying to find a car that looks good, but what is practical for him.

Ford Focus



Focus Sedan



Ford Focus C-Max

[PSZeTa]

They probably don't have C-Maxes over there in the US, neither do they have our second gen Focus. Theirs is the one I posted 2 posts above this one, doesn't it look fantastic? :p
