Since it's Valentine's Day and all let's talk about our true loves.
When was the first time you knew you wanted a Miata?
How long have you owned a Miata?
I first knew I'd own one when I started selling Mazdas in 1993.
I got my first one in 1997.

Wow the above crapola isn't what I expected when I clicked on this post. Boo2
Hey William it's just a car. ;)
First time at TWS in my ex-wife's 1990 (Fall of 1989) I knew I wanted one.
Bought MY first one in October 1991., and the rest is history ;)
True love????? We won't go there....................
I knew I wanted a Miata when I first rode in one back in 1992 (at an auto-x, no less)... it's been on my short list of cars to own ever since, but I've always had too many other projects taking up space and money.Quote:

I'd sell mine today if I could get enough to pay off the note.
It's a fun car and all, but it's just a piece of property.
You really need to get out more.Quote:

It took one test drive and I was hooked.
I'd seen girls like her all over town. Always smiling, always with some lucky guy. They seemed to have so much fun together. Not wanting to be jealous, I convinced myself I was happy with my current love. But looking back, this one was boring, that one was all flash and no substance, and frankly, the current one was too big.
I first saw my new love on the internet of all places. If I had told them, my friends would have said "You can't fall in love based on a picture on the internet!" and laugh "Better get a ride first!" So I kept my thoughts to myself. And even tried to convince myself that the attraction was just a passing phase. My current love, although too large, was faithful and had never let me down. So I suppressed my feelings, that's what guys do, and took peeks at her on the internet at night when no one was watching.
My passion overtook me on January 11th, 2007. I was tired of just looking at pictures, and reading her profile. Enough! This is driving me crazy! I decided to meet her in person. If we didn't "click" then I'd finally know and could stop obsessing. So we met, she was much more beautiful than her pictures, and we fit together like a hand in a glove. Nervously, I took her for a ride and, well you know what it's like.
I brought "Deep Red" home that day. I left my old "too large" love behind for someone else. (She wasn't bad in anyway, we had just grown apart; I still think of her sometimes.) Now other guys see her and me both smiling, having a good time, and they wish they were me. I hope they find true love too.
Sounds like the pain medication is working! ;)Quote:

Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show
CHORUS:
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think
I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show

I for one keep thinking of the Paul Oakenfold song: Ready, Steady, Go.
If you're wondering about words, there are few... just a great fast paced song for the track/twisties. Also, if you are wondering what the song is, it's the song from the car chase sequence in the movie "The Bourne Identity"
That's the best song to feel "at one" with your ride.

I knew I wanted one when my wife bought it::BaHump::
Now that you mention it that is a pretty sweet track. Go, go, gadget WinampQuote:

Heck, Car companies use passion as a selling point.
And you use duals for ::BaHump::Quote:

I lost track of them for a looong time, didn't even think about them for a while. I got into the whole fast/musclecar/ricer thing in my teen years and ended up with a Mercedes 300SD as my first car. Sold it, and bought a Supra. Then I started seeing the Miatas again... I really wanted one, but I liked my Supra too much so I kept it. I then blew the head gasket on the Supra and went looking for a new vehicle. I was seriously considering a Miata, but then a friend talked me into buying his (turbo) Supra. I forgot all about the Miatas for a while after that. So anyway, I finally sold the Supra off, and nearly bought a Miata again.
And then I bought an Integra. Great car, but as I drove it, I learned that it's nigh impossible for me to drive something that doesn't have any personality. The Integra felt like any other car, and I didn't feel any communication with it. Sure, it was reliable, it wasn't bad looking, and it was reasonably quick compared to my Mercedes, but it didn't "do" anything for me. I sold it to my brother, and headed for Houston with a list of Miatas to look at.
I found one in an apartment complex, dusty, hardly driven anymore, and looking pretty lonely. I asked the owner for a test drive, we jumped in, and as I pulled out of the underground parking garage into the sunlight with the top down, I broke out into the biggest grin I've ever had. I told him I would take it.
I bought it within the next couple of days and haven't looked back. I'm in love :D
I just can't wait for spring to drop the top :D
Everybody I knew back in La Grange told me that this car was perfect for me, goofy, fun, and obviously cute (heh). I think Miatas will be the only personal vehicles I will have for a looong time now.
I can't believe I actually thought about selling it recently... I'm still kicking myself. Poor girl would have been crushed if I had broken up with her... :(
So that's my story. ::Banana::
