I'm going with "A new tv" although the car is really blocking the shot, you should have moved it.

I thought so to. I think those were in the Target Ad.

Can anyone guess what I just bought?

I'm thinking a CRX.

Does it smell of perfume?

 

[zoxxy]

Coolio.

 

[lmracer]

nice everyone. It seems sarcasm has become even more prevelent since I was last here!

Actually, I am refering to what is under the car cover. But the 46 inch Panasonic HDTV was a good guess. Thats my dads though.

not a CRX reeking of perfume.

 

[Sage]

I would’ve guessed a new Miata, but the rear trunk line is too pronounced…

Coolio.

Gracias.

Where you there when he purchased it?

 

[lmracer]

Where you there when he purchased it?

no, but forza 2 looks damn fine on it.

 

[Jondot]

I'm thinking a CRX Civic Del Sol.

Does it smell of perfume?

Whoops, fixed it.

 

[lmracer]

nope. Not a Honda. Sage was so close he has pretty much won.

 

[lmracer]

This is everything I have purchased in the last three months. It's everyhting I have ever wanted. : )

 

[Keef]

An old Miata. With huge wheels.

I wasn't really being sarcastic. It was more of just a joke, a jest, a act of "goofing around", a blind attempt of skirting around the obvious.

Sarcasm = A form of irony in which apparent praise conceals another, scornful meaning. For example, a sarcastic remark directed at a person who consistently arrives fifteen minutes late for appointments might be, “Oh, you've arrived exactly on time!”​

The remarks here were not scornful in meaning, or at least not intended to be.

Got an early generic winter holiday present.

Wait, is it a previous-gen Mazdaspeed MX-5? Oh, please tell me it is – I LOVE that car so much! (And that would explain the sharp trunk line. )

 

[lmracer]

Right on Pako. I was not offended. I know your a cool dude. I actually added my xbox, 1911, and dexter dvds to the last page too.

 

[lmracer]

Bingo!

I got it about a week ago and now I have single digit temperatures and 3" of snow on the ground Its triple black with red-stiched leather and bose sound. I just put the Flyin' Miata Intake and manual boost controller on and now I can't even play until spring.

I'll get some daytime pics with the cover off tomorrow.

 

[Sage]

You have no idea how envious I am – quite possibly my favorite car in the world. Everything that made the previous-gen Miata great, but then more betterer – those awesome black-lined wheels, the spoiler to sharpen up the butt, the grille-less radiator, the added power and handling, the upgraded interior…

Excellent choice. Too bad you live in the wrong state. (It’s 70°F here right now. Perfect open-top motoring weather.)

 

[lmracer]

oh man, you said it. I would love to bust it out. This is my first purchased car and it took many years of tough deliberation, but it had to be the MS MX-5. it was a close toss up to a SW-20 MR2 and a SER spec-v of 2002 vintage, but after test driving MANY cars over my college career (30+ it was my hobby) that out priced and out powered the mazda, This thing was simply the most fun to drive. My test drive was almost entirely done in a parking lot slaloming around light poles. And that was a year ago in a standard 2005 MX-5.

Mine came a year later, it's a 2005 with 16,000 miles.

I can't wait to make some video to show you guys.

Can't wait to see the pics/vids!

I've got one of those waiting for me as well. I got a blue 120GB model. What's yours?

Same thing, a blue 120GB one. Costco only had the blue ones, I wanted a white one so I could dupe people into thinking I had a Mac but it wasn't meant to be . I really like it though and I've been playing around with it all night, I'm going to be setting up my GPS software on it and use it as a wardriving machine for the most part. I'm also hoping I can find some software to monitor my car through the OBDII port.

Is it pretty quick then? I know I'll end up upgrading the ram to 1.5GB, but I'm sure it does well with the Atom.

Edit: Also, three or six cell battery? I made sure to get the six cell so the its good for 5.5 hours instead of less than 3.

 

[Joey D]

It's decently quick for what I'm doing with it. I don't think you could play any recent games on it or anything. I do plan on upgrading the RAM though. I got the 3 cell battery but probably will end up buying an additional 6 cell. The battery life isn't bad though, I've been on it most of the night an it's only now starting to tell me to plug it in.

 

[lmracer]

Just remember to cycle between the draw and charge load. Don't keep it plugged in constantly.

Can anyone guess what I just bought?

Nice Mazdaspeed! Love those cars! Congrats on the purchase! Many of us are jealous!

[buickgnx88]

From that angle, it looks almost like an FD RX-7.

 

[McLaren]

And my dad got a Blackberry Storm:

Noice. I love mine to bits.

From that angle, it looks almost like an FD RX-7.

It's a Miata as correctly guessed by Sage on the previous page.

Good luck with that voyager...I've replaced mine twice already and I think it's a total piece of CRAP...could just be me

Edit: Here is my last thing i bought besides the new computer

Yeah I knew that, just thought I'd point it out (I suppose I could have taken out the text from the post! )
