They really liked the car, but were also going to look at a NB2 Miata before deciding. SEE! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE TO CROSS SHOP THEM!!! Though he seemed uncertain on the Miata, and said would message back after seeing it. If it works out he'll be back Friday to get it.

The vehicular saga pre-dates you, so I hadn't considered you as a factor. My bad. Dates are nice. I usually only go on one per year, so there's that.

The difference between what is a date and isn't is frame of mind. To me, any time I go out with a person I'm romantically involved with, even to go buy a car, or even just people watch, it's a date.

I get technical, it's food+activity unrelated to getting the food, followed by some kind of romantic activity. The 3rd part is key because otherwise every 6GC meet I've been to has been a giant group date and honestly I don't think I'm Chris's type.

Oh yeah... So the guy that looked at the Firebird wasn't able to see the Miata on Monday like I thought he would, but he'll see it tomorrow and let me know. Based on what he said I feel 70-80% confident he'll go with the bird, but I can only hope for now. I'm just so ready to get on with life already, and have a car I fully enjoy driving again.

My aluminum line came! I may need a uhhh....the thing you shove into the line to expand it back to round... looks like a sounding rod lol (get your minds out of the gutter). Swag? A swag? I'm not sure. But there's a tool for what I'm thinking of but I can't remember the name. Some of the coil looks pretty flattened which may not play nice with the compression fittings.
A tube expander, but all the ones I'm finding are for stepping up to the next size to slip together and solder which is not what I'm after. I just want to make it round and 3/8ths inch again. I'll have to see what the exact ID of the tube is and just wing it I guess.

You can use steel balls the size of the tube's ID to round it back out, even with curves and bends. Just use some soapy water and push them through one after the other until they come out freely. It's how they make the tubing for brass instruments.
Side note I suppose my wanted ad looks ok:

I'm looking for a manual Miata with a clean title that's as close to stock as possible:
Preferably a '94-96 M-Edition, '99 10th Anniversary Edition, '00-03 Special Edition, '02 Special Order Laser Blue, or '03 Shinsen.
I'd also consider a '94-97 C/Leather package in Laguna Blue, Montego Blue, or Brilliant Black as well as a '99-05 Leather/LS package in Twilight Blue Mica, Emerald Mica, Brilliant Black, Midnight Blue Mica, Crystal Blue Mica, Splash Green Mica, Garnet Red Mica, Black Cherry Mica, Razor Blue Metallic, or Nordic Green Mica.
I have cash ready to go, so feel free to message.
