    It had the seats and HUD/DIC, too. Great car for driving, but a cop rammed me from behind and made a mess of it.

    oh well, pic upload failed. it wasn't too big, either

    Yes, after the cop rammed it, I was going to try to fix it, but then I had it out to Grattan for a couple days, and the 3.4L doesn't like twisties. The 5 spd and suspension did surprisingly great vs Spec Miata's on the back half of the course, on all the turns, but when I'd hit the front straight it didn't want to rev past about 5000 rpm. But any other time day it never had any problem getting to redline, which was about 6700 or 7000 rpm. We tried more oil, thicker oil, etc. But it kept having that problem when it would get to the front straight. Odd how it never had the problem on the highway. Redline rpm was no problem passing people...

    Anyway, I sold it after that and bought a race car

    Earlier I tried to post a pic of it, but the upload kept failing even though I was within all the limits.

    Im getting tired of people trying to use the forums image upload.

    Its Web 2.0, you all text, facebook stalk and buy stuff online...

    and yet people dont know websites like imageshack.us or photobucket.com exist. Please use one of them to upload your pictures. Thank you.

    Yeah, I'm as old as the hills, its true...

    But I just followed the instructions. I've been building and programming computers since the 1970's so its not like I'm incapable, its just that when I see specific instructions and limitations on how to do something, being a person that used to write and test such things, I tend to try to follow them and assume they will work.

    My guess is they probably DID work at some point, then something related maybe changed breaking the functionality.

    Sorry, I don't have pics of the interior. It was nice, but not anywhere near new. I had to replace the HUD to get it working, and the seatbelt wouldn't roll out, but other than that it was real comfortable for cruising. I bought it over100k mi

    Nice color. There is a lady I used to work with that has a GP of that year and hers is a little bit darker than yours.

    I always liked this body style but I hated the door handles. They seem to snap off pretty easy in the winter time.

    Never had door handle troubles with it. I seem to like bright blue cars. Had an M roadster that color, too.
