Wayne, if you get it I want to borrow it a couple times here in Orlando. We have a six lane parking lot, aka, I-4, which they now are widening through the city making it worse during construction. Gee, then we'll have an 8 lane parking lot because the same fools will still be using it.  Angry

My solution is quite simple....remove all the stoplights at major intersections. That way the gene pool will be self-cleaning eventually.  Grin

Will it be registered as a vehicle, a weapon or, both?

I'm wondering how it rides with that added weight in the 4 corners and the tail end.  Probably not as quick and nimble.

Two things:

You're going to need hearing protection.

And you're going to need a tight collar.  Smoking hot BMG brass down your shirt will leave a mark.

Actually Ma Duece would be satisfying but totally impractical for the above usage. Wink


It was better suited to use against slow flying aircraft like the photo that I took in Korea in 1953.  Quad fifties were NICE. Cheesy

Wayne, you're in luck.  A transferable M2 Browning just came up for sale in VA.

Gun (like new), mount and trailer.  At a very reasonable $35K.   Wink

If you've got a spare Miata and a little extra cash burning a hole in your pocket, one of these would be right fun!

That would make it go alright.  52/48 weight.  17K.   However, i bet the weight went up there with all the mods.

A turbocharger with intercooler (self installed) will get 200 hp, about 20 pounds more weight and the original tranny, diff, and suspension.   About 8K.  Stock tranny, diff, and suspension and no cramming.  still 50/50 weight distribution.

Stock hp 142, turbo 190hp, Ford V8 300hp.  The stock four is a good engine and will stand the turbo but I don't have even the 8k. Smiley
