Thread: The new daily driver

    Default The new daily driver

    Some of you who have been around a while may recognize the car. It's Jeff Craig's (aka Checker-Stripe) Miata. I just picked it up from OK.

    It's a 1996 R-Pack. Nice mods but needs some TLC - Basic maintenance, some buffing and waxing, new top etc...

    Not bad at all! If it is in your $$ range, than it is a super deal!

    Looks good. Congrats!

    PS
    It is an 'R" pack, so try not to weigh it down with a bunch of extra crap. (ie, Christmas lights, etc)

    Not to worry. My hopes are to one day make it a dedicated track car like Wags black Miata and Gary's Yellow one.

    For now though, I'm just going to make it a reliable daily driver.

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

    I'm just worried he is going to go out Toyota tipping with this one also! Drive careful!

    So what happened to the 7,000lbs. Miata??

    With "Oklahoma is OK" collector's item license plates too!

    Because "Oklahoma is Mediocre" wouldn't fit.

    Glad you found a car. So did you decide against fixing your old one?

    So how many times a year do you go to the track that you need a dedicated track car? Hell I'm a member at MSR and I don't need a dedicated track car. Just trying to understand your logic.
