Time to quit lurking, I guess!
Hi all!
My name's John, I'm a photographer (commercial and advertising) and I bought my Miata back at the first of the year. Been lurking around the board since then and have been greatly entertained (so thanks for that!)
My Miata is an Emerald Mica 2001 LS. It is a replacement for my departed '90 300ZX and my '99 Cagiva Gran Canyon (motorcycle, think Ducati). The 300ZX lost the war with my wallet since there wasn't a single repair on that car that cost less than $1k, and the Cagiva... well my first one was totalled by a soccer mom in a mini-van. I replaced that with another, which I sold after a few more close calls made me realize how much I really, really appreciated having all my limbs and digits. But I wanted something FUN. The most fun car I ever had was an '83 RX-7 Limited Edition. I wanted something THAT fun. Or more. My neighbor has a '95 Miata and I asked her if I could drive it sometime to see if it was what I wanted. She tossed me the keys and told me to keep for a week or so to get a good feel for it. After the first hour, I was already looking for used Miatas! I hadn't had a grin on my face like that from a car in a long, long while.
The car is pretty stock at the moment. I've done the AUX-in mod to the Bose stereo and added a Buck Diamond grille to the front. More will follow, but time and $$ are the biggest factors. Oh, and my wife... ;)
Since I've been lurking, I think I have a pretty good idea of the board rules and I will do my best to follow them. As I understand them, they are:
1- In addition to having a Miata, you must own, or plan to own a Honda of some sort. Preferably a Civic. Or a Vtec lawnmower. Exceptions will be made only for those with a Lotus.
2- Must jump at every opportunity to insult, ridicule or make fun of Titus. In the nicest way possible, of course.
3- Must include in every thread, if not every post, at least one of these ---> ::Clown:: Extra points if you work in a ::EvilBana
If I've left any out, I'm sure you'll let me know! :D
