Finally own an MX-3
Posted: August 15th, 2012, 1:30 pm
Hi All,
Finally, after wanting one for 15 years, the planets aligned and I found myself with a '95, 1.6L Auto in my driveway. While I would have preferred the 1.8 manual, MX's are so rare around here that I wasn't going to be picky. It's for my wife anyway, but I still get to play with it. I've been spending the past couple weeks making sure she's road worthy (the car, not my wife
). New balljoints, tie rod ends, belts, fluids and such. It's got a couple dings and a touch of rust (but not much at all for a Michigan car that's 17 years old). A little work and she should be fixed up like new...well, not new, but pretty good. It's silver stone metallic and the previous owner put a racing stripe offset to the right. Actually looks pretty nice. I'll have to post up some pics once I'm satisfied.
About me: Middle aged and underpaid about sums it up. I spend most weekends in the summer autocrossing my RX8, cutting grass, and keeping the house and cars running.
