    Default Took the plunge

    Howdy all, new to the Miata scene, this will will be my third convertible, but first roadster :)

    I'm in Arlington and I've owned a slew of mustangs and third gen supras. Looking to meet some other local Miata owners to shoot the shit with.

    I just picked up a Montego Blue 95 5 spd with tan leather interior.

    Welcome, have fun with your Miata.

    Check the Events forums - Impromptu Events, Events and Drives, and Event Planning. Also, check the Autocross and Open Track sections. We have a very eclectic group and there are usually several things going on.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Double check the Event Forum, but the most regular meet is the Wednesday evening get-together at Kellers on NW Highway.

    Now that it's colder, the group generally starts meeting at somewhere like Hooters in Plano. Check the improtu events.

    Man it's been forever since I've been on that forum. I think I was "Hazards, MKIIIHazards, or Supranomoly" Can't remember what I used. I had an 86.5 NA and an 88 Turbo Targa.

    We meet on the good side of 360, just not as regularly. Many of us have lives outside of parking lots

    Keep watching; we'll do something soon.

    Welcome and be sure to read Alligator Hide in the Bull section. Most of us aren't haters, we just sound like it...
