Someone told him what E36 M3 and Amy stand for didn't they? No comment what so ever on the LMP themed Miata.

Lol yea. Actually I probably did save it from the junkyard. Sub $1000 running Miatas don't just sit on Craigslist for 2 days.

I guess mine does look like a box stock Maxima...no idea it isn't stock unless you know Maximas. Kinda like that it's a sleeper though. . Good overview video though.

I heard...440 wedge motor living mostly under the would-be dashboard area.
Fox body Mustang rear axle so therefore a 4 bolt lug pattern which testing now reveals is likely too weak for the power it puts down.

Nope. No love at all.

I don't think he could have worked any harder to miss it. It's immediately outside of virtually every shot. Some of those shots must have been taken sitting on it's hood.

Can I have those 500 or so hours of my life back?
