Thread: Something strange is afoot...

  1. #1

    Default Something strange is afoot...

    So I drove a 4 wheeled vehicle to work today for the 2nd time this week... Oddly, today, it was not raining, but I needed to run get some shoes put on the Miata.

    Lovely weather this morning, eh? Great day to have the top down.

    So... between the run to Forest & Plano Rd and then to the office I passed a few convertibles...

    5 Miatas - all top up
    6 P cars - all top down
    4 Minis - all top down
    3 BMWs - all top down
    7 Jeeps - all top down
    1 Solstice - top down
    1 Sebring - top down

    Pretty sure some joker in a Montego recognized me going north on Plano Rd, since he wouldn't get close enough for a positive ID. Since he knew he was in trouble for driving around with the top up. Pussy.

    I rarely drive my Miata to work. I did today. The top was down. I had a great time.

    I was a bad man this morning I was running late, my head was stuffed up, and just didn't feel like messing with it so I left the top up..... Please forgive me!

    Speaking of 2 wheels.... I sure hope Maxim gets rid of the last of those '08 CBR's soon... I'm not old enough to own one of those things...

    That's not a motorcycle. 1) it's too slow and 2) you don't sit IN a real bike.

    I wish I would have but the 636 is in a couple of pieces after going down at the last trackday. I've gotta get the new sliders and bolts this weekend.

    Topless is pretty much always best, at least when it comes to machines.

    I drove to work with the top up and put it down after work. Too cold at 4:30 this morning.
