There were 12 of them. They ranged from run-of-the-mill 289s to one rare 390. :evil: Jerry Bruckheimer has Eleanor #13, and she's a real GT500. She never appeared in the movie, but was built at the same time. :D The COO of our company has two GT500KRs. A convertible and a hardtop. The hardtop is his...

And FWIW, I *will* one day have a ZRex. I have loved that bike since I first laid eyes on it in the magazines. :)

Check out www.cycletrader.com for some great deals on used bikes. I know the guy who runs www.easttnriders.com and www.dragaknee.com He started out on a GS500 that he bought for $1000. It was 10 years old and suited him fine. He has since gone to an F4i, but he has nothing but good things to say abo...

I use a SkyFi and love it, though I do sometimes wish I had the "song save" feature of the Roady.

You wanna be really evil? Set a friend's Roady so that one of his preferred artists or songs is "Partly Cloudy." :pirate: :lol:

The truck runs a Key West Parrothead plate frame. The Miata usually runs a Charleston Parrothead frame. The Miata used to have PHINZUP along with the plate frame, until we had a lapse of judgment and moved to Florida. They both need personalized plates again now that we're back home. The front plate...

The problem with DSL is that the further you are from the DSLAM the crappier your connection. It's completely distance related, though cordless phones, etc... can effect it as well. You also have to put filters on all the lines except the one you're using for the connection. In addition, if there is...

So we have this Miata gathering this weekend...(pics inside)

and I have a vinyl plotter... We expect over 400 cars to converge in the Deal's Gap area. It started out with 42 cars way back in 1997. It's out of hand now and one of the greatest experiences a Miata owner can ever have. I haven't missed a gathering in the 8 years it has happened, and hope I never ...

Re: Guidelines for the South

After visiting various other threads discussing what is and what ain't the South, I've decided to start make a list of rules for what is Southern. 1) We don't care how you did it up north. I-95 goes both ways... 2) We knock on the door, even if the door is to someone's office and even if it's open,...
