    Default Back in a Miata...

    Picked up a 1-owner '96 today. 112K miles and very clean. It's a no-frills car...A/C and power steering.

    Huge thanks (again) to Rogue for his help and time!

    Nice. Congratulations.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    So did you dump the Ford Mustache so you and Rogue could be pals again?

    Should we gather all of Sammm's Miatas together for a reunion?

    Congrats on the new addition to the family! Four cars does seems like about right for a family of two that doesn't drive much. Note that I don't have to apply a smiley when I say that.

    I really like it. It's comfy, fast, and relatively civilized. I'm getting around 22mpg combined city/highway with spirited driving habits.

    No complaints at this point.
