Yeah, I was just dumbfounded watching everything play out. I was about to jump in and say something but I thought what good would it do. Sorry, I didn't try to get you over here sooner.

Its alright brotha! I was told to go on Miataturbo also but they aint the best either... My build thread on there wasnt the greatest either because it was over a 6+ month time span since I really started to do stuff with her. Besides the weather being cold and all the fights that they had to start with me over insurance and how I dont know what im doing and I have a crappy job (which is true but its better than nothing) and that no one understands that the car isnt right next to me. It takes about 25 min to get to my grandmothers and we always have to do some errand before so it takes even longer. No one really understood what I had to deal with and the fights at home I got into talking about the car and all... now that Ive been doing so much more progress on it I still get crapped on. Plus my birthday isnt till July and I have my juniors license. Once I turn 17 ill have my full license so more progress would get done. Its not easy and everyone wants you to get it done asap. Doesn't also work out like that and no one wants to hear that.. well too bad is what I gotta say. Sorry about the rant and all but its true. Dont judge a person until you walked in there shoes. Besides that, My parents really dont buy anything for the car. If they do I pay them back and I usually put all my money towards what I wanted. I got yelled at for that 2 on CR. Every little thing I did or say I got repremended for. I told all of them also, to just watch and wait and you'll see when im done with it and all. Like I said before my bad about the paragraph and this one also. I could just go on for hours talking about the assholes on CR lol. Not all of you are if you got an account on here and one on CR.

Don't worry about them anymore. You are in better hands. That drama can stay over there. Can't wait to see your build thread though.

Yeah man I hope a lot of you guys are excited about it. Not alot has been really done but its on the ground again but still looks like crap because the paint is ehhh. Alot still needs to be done. Know what I mean. Haha. But i really hope she is done by the summer. Because ill be looking for another job and all that good stuff to pay for more parts to make her. As for paint wise im gonna go with a Merlot Mica like how the original mazda paint is. Because I cant afford a real good paint job and the car is likely to get beaten up im gonna go with a maaco paint. I really have alot on my plate with this car and I just want to drive it. All the other stuff really can, be put aside. I rather learn my car and do the little stuff later like I said before.

More to come though brotha. I need to pay my dad back for the wheels he put money down on for. Youll see whats gonna happen and all that good stuff brotha. If the car was home alot of the stuff would get done and faster. I really do wish it was home. Would make me so happy you dont understand hahah.

I've had a Maaco paint job on my Nissan Pathfinder and they did a great job. Granted it's not show quality but that's not what I was looking for. I have seen some bad Maaco jobs and some good ones. From what I understand, it all depends on the one you go to. The guys at the one in Durham did a great job.

[MattsMiata]

Yeah I hope they screw me over and all. Thats to come later though. Its on the list but on the very bottom.

Yeah I hope they screw me over and all.

I think he meant "don't screw me over"

[MattsMiata]

Why did I say screw me over lol. I hope that they dont** lol. Sorry about that brotha. If they do then ima be pissed off. Im actually debating on painting it black

[—tsingson—]

Can't go wrong with black.

[MattsMiata]

Nope. Everything goes with black. Also just red as I can find more parts for a red one. My truck is black and it just stands out so much when its under light at night and all. Yeah im gonna go with the black even though im gonna sweat my balls off. I do have ac just doesnt work. Needs a recharge or a condenser maybe. Im gonna start my build thread right after I get out of school. So be on the lookout
