    Welcome! Love that color.

    Ask lots of questions. Thereare plenty of knowledgeable people here. There are also lots of kooks but you should be able to figure out who is who within a few days.

    Watch out for guys with German sounding screen names. All they know is how to store Miatas in boxes.
    ...and across the line.

    Congrats on the car! It's nice to have another '03 around here.

    There are plenty of smart folks around here that can help you with any mods you can dream up.

    I will tell ya to put the premium fuel in your car. When running regular you'll feel the loss of power as the ECU severely retards the timing. I find in mine that I get the best gas mileage with premium - enough of a difference that it costs more to run the cheaper gas.

    The roll bars look nice. But what is all that other stuff for? (That's rhetorical, when I'm ready I'll ask more specific questions!)

    Been there, read that. Is that really a problem here? Well I guess it could be with all that testosterone running in our veins (along with motor oil and premium gas). It takes a lot to hurt my feelings, but as guys, we're not supposed to have feelings!

    If you really want to make the driving experience more enjoyable, check out our Autocross Calendar and find time to make it out to an event. Nothing is more fun than pushing your Miata to the limits in a controlled environment!
    I have to admit, I'm intrigued! But I don't know if I have the intestinal fortitude to push my car that far. Is there a "bunny" course to start on?

    Thanks for the advice. And with the smallish fuel tank, it's not that much more out-of-pocket per fill-up to spring for the good stuff. (Completely off topic: It's snowing in Bedford as I type this!)

    And quite heavily in Richardson, too. And it's nice to see you're already getting the hang of thread drifting. It's our specialty. Well, that and calling each other names.

    And one more thing. If you can't think of something nice to post...

    Talking Thanks!

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I've never had a car that came with it's own support group (isn't the internet amazing!). When running errands, I no longer look for the fastest or shortest route. Now I look for the route that has twisties! You know what I mean. Thanks again, I'll be posting questions and adding my 2 cents too.

    Why is it that we offer someone a penny for their thoughts but they always want to put their 2 cents in?

    Regular fuel has also retarded several of the users of this board. Welcome aboard!
