A thing that has been bought!

I want to make a more thorough post about this fantastic development, but I’m too excited to wait!

Ill get into more detail in an upcoming post, but basically I’v e been shopping a few different vehicles, went to take a look at o ne, and everything just fell into place. Who’d have thought that there are a some great   deals on RWD, manual, convertibles, on sale at the end of the year in a snow storm. Yes, I am now the guy driving top down in 30°F weather with a bigger grin than the car has.

Just a teaser for now, I’ve got to get some rest because my face hurts from smiling so much.

More details to come...

Jealous jealous jealous! You are a lucky man, and now a ruined one. There really is no joy quite like Miata joy, and I know that I drive in disappointment until I have the means to own one again.

No Miata, but many little two seat sports cars, often daily driven, even in the winter.  A small, light, RWD roadster is a blast on fresh snow--have fun.

A bit jealous. It reminds me that I don’t fit in a MX5 and it makes me sad, but happy for you!

I was shopping a few different cars and the Miata really does offer a unique experience being a convertible and so light weight .

I’m 6'3" ~205lbs, and while I’m plenty comfortable, I definitely fill the car. I went in looking at RFs and found I couldn’t make it work. Normal seating is fine, but If I stretched my neck, I could put my scalp on the ceiling.

But between the thinner soft top and the Recaro seats, I have about an inch - inch and half of clearance for my head. A helmet will make it pretty tight though and would probably be touching the soft top.

Not yet, while it snowed nothing too substantial yet. It does have the summer Bri dgestones on it now, and doesnt take much to lose traction. I have some snow tires coming in today!
