It's taken me a couple of days to get this posted, but I wanted to so you know who I am and what I am about:
Hobbies: Cars, computers, music, Internet...you know, the normal stuff
Miata: 1995 1.8L 5 Speed (http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3338881)
I bought this car from a guy here in Denton, it was a nice deal, got it down to 1900.00, not the 1500.00 I was shooting for :-) But we know the story of that Miata
I love cars. I buy buy them, clean em up and love them for a while and move on to the next one. Except this time, the Miata has earned a lifelong place in my heart. These things are incredibly fast and fun to drive! I have owned: 92 eclipse, 93 Probe GT, 91 Corvette, 93 Mazda B2600i (truck), 95 Mustang GT. (mostly cars from my past that I always wanted but couldn't buy back them). After spending a year or two on the cars, I would find the next one. Being the good husband I am, my wife said I could keep all the cars I buy, as long as we had a garage space for them. Well, you can imagine, spending xxx,xxx thousands on a new house, or a couple grand for each car then selling them? I chose the cheaper route :-)
The only car I regret selling was the 1993 Probe GT, back when I sold it I was looking for my next one (which ended up being the Miata). The GT was, what I later learned, one of those "God, why did I sell that?!?!?" life lessons. It had 47,000 original miles, and not a ding on it. In classic car terms, it was mint, but I stupidly sold it.
But, to my surprise, the Miata has stirred up a passion in me. These cars are beautiful little roadsters, and a blast to drive. My wife was originally against it, considering the size, but when she drove it, it was instant love :-)
I am talking her into getting a 2000-2003 Miata, I am really starting to like those body styles and the interiors. She always comes back to the "More cars, bigger garage...aka bigger house for momma" :-) It's a never ending battle...maybe I should just rent storage units
That's it for me guys, if you ever need anything (helping hand, second set of eyes, or an opinion), just give me a shout.
Glad to be here,
