Default Back on all 4 in FL

I had just picked up a '93 RX7 at the beginning of 2010 and three weeks later lost compression in half the motor after stalling avoiding a low speed accident. Hadn't converted to non-sequential yet, a vacuum hose popped loose that I didn't see so boost bled over when I got it restarted & pop! Luckily I just moved 3 miles from work & both my legs work so I figured I'd see how long I could go without. Parted ways with the RX & picked up a Ruckus last April. I rode the wheels off it for 8 mos, put 4k+ miles on it until I developed a bad crank bearing. The time in between I caught rides with friends & walked when I couldn't. So after 16 months, two engines, and many hours of OT later I'm back on all four wheels. I've had it for about a month, will have to get some better pics once its not stock but for now I'm just enjoying driving again.

I bought my S2000 off a guy in Brandon/Riverview. You're quite close to me then, I work near I-75 and SR-56. Welcome!
