What a long day. Lorin (Omnifocus) and I left for San Jose Airport this morning at 8AM. We were flying to San Diego to pick up car.

Meet Circe.

Circe, daughter of the sun, was a sorceress best known for her ability to turn men into animals with her magic wand. The daughter of Perse and Helios, and whose daughter is Aega (goddess of the sun) she is remembered for her encounter with Odysseus and his men, and renowned for her knowledge of magic and poisonous herbs.

When Odysseus and his men landed in Aeaea, his crew later met with Circe and were turned into pigs. Circe's spells however had no effect on Odysseus who earlier was given an herb by Hermes to resist her power. Circe realizing she was powerless over him lifted the spell from the crew and welcomed them in her home. After about a year when Odysseus leaves she warns them of the sirens they will encounter on their journey. Circe and Odysseus also bore a child together named Telegonus who later ruled over the Tyrsenians. Circe also has the powers for spiritual purification as she purifies the Argonauts for the murder of Apsyrtus.

Always loved the old school boxy MX-6's.

FYI, RX-7 wheels fit those too. I've got a friend here that has an MX-6 with a set of RX-7 wheels (the last generation, FD?). People have no idea that his car has a snail, and are very surprised when he handily beats them!

:thumbup:

How long for the grin to go away?

You guys were right in my old neighborhood. I can't even think of how many times I ate at that In N Out off of Avery.

Hey, nice find man! I had a 92 MX-6 for my first car. That thing was great. Only wish I had the turbo GT. But it looks like you found a great car! Enjoy it and post as many pics as possible.
