So I wander into the chili cookoff and there's a FR-S with pretty nice looking powdered red/black wheels sitting at the entrance with the hood up.

I go take a look and there's a guy standing there who I assumed was the salesman. I say "hey this looks bone stock other than the wheels, what are you showcasing". Guy says, "Just the car, It's a great car". No mods other than the wheels. It's a top-notch sportscar.

I said, "Well I mean, it's a nice car but it's not really a sportscar. I mean, I'd put it in the same category as the old CR-X or a miata but it's not really a performance car" and the guy just walked away without a word.

It was the owner, not a sales guy. Now I feel bad.

He said "sports car", not "performance car". And he is certainly correct, it fits most everyone's definition of a proper sports car: light weight, rear wheel drive, and able to procure with a manual transmission. The Miata is practically the gold standard in minimalist sports cars.

So by all rights, if you said the FR-S wasn't a "sports car", then I'd have walked away, too.

it's most definitely a sports car.

Also other bad news, there are moulding marks on the RC NACA ducts that I can't get rid of so I'm going to have to paint them which kinda sucks.
Race car parts are apparently not meant to be pretty. It's going to cost me an additional (laffo) $300+ to get the ducts cleaned up not including the install.

Asked the guy who sold them to me to take pity on me.

Anyway, I'll have the car back this Wednesday. Game on I guess.

So I picked the Smurf up at the shop this morning around 9:30...as I'm about to leave the guy tells me someone was interested in buying my car. The guy is from Dubai....does apps and CAD (whatever the hell that is) so now I'm considering selling her.

Once in a lifetime someone would want to buy a Z with air ride.....may not have to pass this opportunity up.

No offense to anyone from Dubai, BUT you could sell it, and clear any debt that you may owe on the smurf, the guy that wants to buy it likely has deep pockets.. I'd sell it.

My uncle in Nigeria may also be interested, although he's having difficulty getting his money out of the country.
