Sorry 'bout that! I've not taken any pics of it yet. I would have today except it has been mostly cloudy
And this thing really POPS when the sun hits it!

I checked Jimmy Britt's website and his prices are thousands below what I can get one for locally!
Doesn't matter now because I picked up my new Miata Monday.

PM's show status as "outbox" until THE PERSON TO WHOM IT IS ADDRESSED READS IT.
Only then does it show as "sent."

My next door neighbor is 83 years old. He had a 1972 Vette with less than 500 miles on it. He gave it to his son a couple of years ago and bought himself a new anniversary 2023 model. That thing is like a rocket ship. The problem with new Vettes these days is they want to charge about $100,000 MORE...

yep! my present ride is a 2016 Miata RF (RF= hardtop-roadster)

The late (great) Buster B. Jones had a guitar with "BUSTER B" inlaid on the neck. At least until a couple of airport baggage handlers in Memphis TN decided they needed it worse than Buster did. Of course they worried about "fencing" it with all the inlay on the neck, so they took...

I seriously doubt that I'll be around in 2030. I was in hospital in January 2023 and they told me I'd never see 2024 & moved me to Hospice care. I was on Hospice until Jan 2024 & they told me I was too healthy for Hospice. Glad to hear you left hospice. Not many people can say they have don...

HNIMD! My family has acquired 2 Mazda's in the past couple years - a CX30 that our kids drive and A CX9 for mom (no more minivan)! Mazda has in my mind taken over the crown for high quality/simple/reliable Japanese cars from Toyota/Honda. Plus they are a heck of a lot more fun to drive. Both of the...

That is a beautiful car. I can see you screaming down the coast with your hair in the wind. Next time you are down this way, give me a shout & join me! After all, we have about an equal amount of hair! I take it you have not seen the new PC Beach police cars? Think "C8 Corvette" :D Go...

Hmm, I though the first MX-5 was white?

It was. My first one was a white ragtop.

How many gallons per mile do you get with one of those?

It IS an oldie. Look at the shape of the headstocks.

Wow, 17K miles in eight years? You really abused that poor thing. So what, maybe one oil change the entire time you owned it?

Actually, three, I think. Mazda wants oil changes every 5k miles.

Will do but I do not expect it! They were over here yesterday evening drooling all over it!

Funny! I would have thought you'd be more concerned with how well it tows the boat.
You put the skis in the boat, of course.

Congrats Mickey, I was going to say it looks like the one you had. Are you keeping the other one too? Is is for sale? Did you manual or automatic? I know I have a lot of questions. The old one is blue, the new one is red. No, I'm not keeping the old one. A friend of mine has been bugging me for yea...

Yep! The one I have now is a 2015 hardtop convertible.

New toy headed this way, supposed to be here between 21 & 27 April.

Fair question. To me, that all depends on the build quality. If it's impeccable, I don't care where it originated.

That is the unknown, isn't it? If we knew the build quality????????? But we don't.

Haven't watched TV in 27 years. Local weather that's it. Hate youtube unless it's showing me how to change a headlight bulb without taking the front bumper off. Wife has CSI, NCIS, crime dramas on as long as she is awake. Ditto! Same here! :D Except I would add my late wife did that before she died.

It's complicated, and as you say, likely manipulative. I try to listen to news from all over to get a better basis for identifying the actual truth of matters. That's more than most people have time for. I also think it's only a healthy habit for critical thinkers, not quite everyone. Still, multip...

I have a couple of shortwave radios sitting on the table in front of me. One is general coverage and tunes basically from below the AM broadcast band to just below the lowest television band. It covers AM, FM (mono & stereo) SSB and CW. It is slightly larger than my fist and co$t approx $25. (Oo...
