i hate the alititude here. I was in Phoenix last week to see NIN (which ruled BTW), and the Miata drove like a champ. But up here, bleh! It would be nice to stick a turbo on it, but a project liek that would run about $8k in the end, so hahahahaha, never gonna happen.
On the way back from phoenix, about 100 mi. outside of ABQ, my alternator mount assembly fell out of the car! YAY! It's fun having to Jerry rig a temporary alternator mount on the side of the highway at 1am! Actually it kinda was, fun things that i can tell stories about don't happen much lately. One pityful screw and the belt were the only things holding it in. I ended up having to reach down under the intake and next to the radiator (HOT) and physically pull the alternator (which was also extremely hot) back into place so that it would charge the battery just enough to keep the engine gurgling and flashers flashing, cuzz if the engine died, i wouldn't have been able to restart it. So I was basically standing there with my ass crack in the air yelling "Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow OWWWWWWWWWW! YOW!" Good times. Luckily I had a flashlight and pocket knife, so slowly but surely I managed to rig up a temporary mount. But I couldn't go over 4k RPMs, otherwise my temp mount would move out of place and the car would shit out.
If any ladies understood that whole thing, please oh please contact me so we can go on a date!
