The Miata has just moved on to owner #8, an 18 year old who just graduated high school and wanted his own car. I left an Oppo sticker in the glove box so maybe he will find this place someday. His friends are going to teach him how to drive stick today when they get home.

I am sad to see it go, but seeing how happy the new owner was made it less sad. The money doesn’t hurt either. I guess it’s time to update my avatar.

Any idea on the next ride?

For now, I’m just going to stick to my Fiat. At some point, I’m going to look into some cheap 2 wheeled options, but the main reason for selling the Miata was to get in better shape financially.

Always sad to see a good one go. I think the only one I wasn’t sad to see got was the 2005 Acura TL. It wasn’t bad, but with the auto just lacked soul.

Totally unrelated, but with the newest update I can’t figure out how to change my avatar. Is it obvi ous and I’m missing it?

So I'm on mobile, and when I tap on my avatar, select "your profile" , then "edit profile" , then tap on my avatar, that's how I do it.

Thanks.  I don’t see an ‘edit’ option.  Not sure why.  Look on my phone, iPad, and desktop.  Must be a chrome thing....oh well.

I am indeed using chrome on my Samsung Galaxy S8.

Me too, but I’m ok with my choice. There will be other fun vehicles in my future. Maybe in a few years I’ll pick up a much n ewer Miata.

The car I kept is still plenty fun for me to drive, and I actually like that it’s an auto. It’s easy to live with but still fun on the back roads.

Congrats on the sale! Sounds like it will be enjoyed too.

Thanks. It's too bad you weren't able to take it for a spin first, but I didn't get a chance to try your Z so I guess we're even now :-)
