Is it just me, or is everyone suddenly possessed with the urge to leave work and go drive some twisty roads with the top down for then next 3-4 hours??? I really hope the true winter weather is over, because I think I've already turned the corner mentally. Beautiful day.
OK, back to giving 6-weeks exams...
Yeah, I should not have gone outside at lunch.
Bring on the sunshine & heat!
Sorry to be late replying. I was out driving some twisty roads with the top down . :drive:
Do you think the boss will notice if I leave early? Heck, he'll probably leave early. Hardtop is coming off this weekend just as soon as Checker gets a bath.
I did take the day off work and drove a twisty road all day, Barber.
I took the long way home woth the top down... and by long way I mean I drove the opposite way for about an hour.
I hope it holds out tomorrow. I'm taking it to work to rotate my tires and do an alignment. Will post up alignment sheet for the horror. I went outside today and it was a really pleasant temperature, but it was super windy, so that kind of killed it. I definitely wished I had driven the Miata today though. I would have gone for a drive after I got home, but alas, it was valentine's day...
Wanna throw mine up on the alignment rack too, see how bad it is? ;)
I had the top down on the way in and the way home yesterday. Wind proof jacket FTW!
I opened the sunroof on the mini...then I worried it would break and cost lots of money so I closed it.

Huh, the alignment was surprisingly okayish. I've never done a double wishbone alignment before, so I spent a good twenty minutes in the back trying to find the correct spot for the cams so I could get the correct camber AND toe at the same time. My bushings back there are definitely shot, when I loosened the cams, you could wiggle the control arms waaaaaay too much by hand. Time for Prothane! I forgot to bring the sheet home, but I generally went with Miq's specs from here: http://www.miata.net/garage/align.html
Drove twisties for NINE hours today. From San Marcos to Llano to Dallas with as many miles as possible on dirt roads.
