Which brand of cheap tires did you choose? Snows? 

Given the tread, those don't look like Westlakes.

This thread reminds me of a few years ago, shared a shop with my buddy, we both raced 1G's at a local dirt track... so much neon crap hanging around! Oddly enough I never owned one that I drove, always a racecar...

1st car was a bust. Sat there for a hour waiting on the seller, they quit responding to my messages, and blocked me on Face Book. 

It was a 95 M Miata, supposedly a blown motor, factory hard top, no rust $1200. I knocked on the door, messaged them thorough the sellers app and direct.

I can’t stand time wasters. I hope you were at least waiting in style? As in sitting in your 95? 

 

Im getting ready to drive over 4 hours each way to hopefully purchase a new DD. I will be pissed if the guy flakes. The worst I did was a 7 hour each way trip just for the guy to fall off the face of the earth after I verified and reverified for days prior. Oddly enough I don’t even recall what I was going to buy anymore. 

 

And since this is a neon porn thread, my heap from my dirt track days :)

There is a local guy selling a dirty track Neon im REALLY wanting, super cheap buddy price on a aluminum trialer. I think its light enough to tow with my neon. 

I was waiting in my black RT with a tow dolly. Thankfully this one was only 45min from my shop. We shall see how today goes. Teaser its not a Neon.
