Also my dad is about to fly from thesseloniki to athens
:neat:
What was he doing there?
Have you ever been to Thessaloniki? I haven't but really want to. They just completed high speed rail service from Athens to Thessaloniki which I want to check out. That and their new metro is almost done, too.
He went to Thessaloniki to meet a childhood friend from Turkey, who used to live on that island that I showed on snap last summer.
I have once back in 2015 during the holidays, and been to Ataturks home/museum, it's pretty nice and super chill town. I believe I have posted some on the travel thread, where you'll see orange trees, church, and seaside. Athens is huge compared to Thessaloniki.
I have not heard about it, should've asked earlier. Maybe this summer maybe doable, I also met someone from samos thats both in Rudy's and my local car group (originally mine and in hiatus until rudy got his mk7.5), so it might be a possibility to go there.

You just need new tars. Yours are :roasted:

Turn off traction control
that's what I do, I had it on at the time but the road was clear and I was entering my neighborhood when that happened. I think I made some guns constantly moving my wheel left and right, hence why I got the explorer for the day.

Did you sell it?
Nope I’ve still got it. I drive it every day. It’s probably going to say my daily a while. I’m going to install the last few parts I’ve got. Replace the gaskets and seals. And stay at like 200hp.

No point in turning the Miata up now that I’ve got the R32.

Hoping the r32 won’t turn out to be the same
If the r32 shits the bed I’m going to quit with cars. I’m buying a corolla and never modifying a car again.

Based on the history my friend has had with his Mk4 R32, at least start looking for a sporty Corolla.

Puppies and nuns better get their wills updated now.

It's not the drive wheels, it's the tires, you moran.

You're on all seasons aren't you? That's flat out negligence. Everyone north of Atlanta should have dedicated winter tires. Actually Atlanta should have them too. All seasons are flat out unsafe.
Yea. :(

How much you’re willing to spend money on a new or cpo car?
Why not get something like an elantra with 1.6t, comes with dual clutch trans and manual and pretty cheap. Or If you don’t mind the looks, the velobster turbo

:lolgasm:

Yeah I mean the purchases have been a Turbo Miata (not a stock Speed Miata, one a dude just added boost to. That is old AF. ) Next, a 20 yoa VR6. How is it going to go good unless you're Jay Leno or Melon and completely tear the car apart and restore it? Barnes, you've got guts, and West Texas is a place that gives you more time than most, but personally I'd be considering a cold beer and the local talent in Amarillo vs. dissecting your Messerschmitt every night. :kermitdrinkingteamemedoe:

Old cars will require fairly consistent work. 0/7 would not rely on as primary transportation.
