But she's making it hard for me to say goodbye. Hit her with the buffer this weekend:

Ever had a car that really didn't want to go?

Wow that looks like a picture from GT5. Very Sharp. Strangely miata's last about 6-9 months with me...

I think it's the logical part of our subconscious that fights with our illogical automotive ADD. Like very rarely are we really gaining what we tell ourselves we are by trading something away for something else ;p

It's actually a cell phone picture. HTC Thunderbolt. Great camera on this thing.

The main problem is I don't know what would be as big a smile on my face day in and day out as the Miata. I just wish it was a little more comfortable for my 6'2" frame.

Rollbar goes in this weekend. Curious to see how it impacts my already tight fit as well. I know I will likely not be passing a broom test but fortunately I am not running SCCA events that require that yet

Love that beyond the automatic and fact that it's in Florida.

Properly installed it actually doesn't make much difference.

Mine doubles as a bike rack:

Pink tassles for extra Miata effect

Cool use of bar as rack!
Here is how I carry bikes on my Miata.
I assure you, they have passed the 100mph test.

Can't sell until the end of AutoX season since I'm in a battle for a podium spot in the points race. That car will be long gone before then - it's gorgeous.
