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!

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.

You can double that number if half don't run! (also no smiley)

and you bet Sammm, we'll do it again and go see Fred in 5 years. ::evil::

Whoa whoa whoa
Just because you (finally) got a white NA doesn't mean I'm automatically going to buy it, sammmy.

Oh, and welcome back to the fold! :) Nice car ya' got, there.

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.
