There has been a distinct lack of Miata hooning lately around these parts, and... I can’t help but to feel partially responsible. Between commuting in the rain, dealing with thieves, and deciding to sell, the enthusiasm has been at an all-time low.
But with *potential* snow on the horizon... There’s a chance for redemption!
Washed the exterior for the first time in *gulp* 6 months. Bleached part of the interior soft top to fight off incroaching mildew. Topped off oil and brake fluid (don’t ask). Stuffed the interior with a (good) tire inflator, lithium ion battery jump kit, full-size snow shovel, lock de-icer, snow brush/scraper, chains (not for me, in case I find someone in need who has a common tire size), cliff bars, shop towels, and laaaaaastly.....
Oh baby. The rack. Is. Back. Added a one gallon gas container because... Why not? This car in the snow is already a meme, might as well push it further. And hey maybe I find someone out of gas! If I genuinely thought I’d ever run into a winter situation where I’d need to have extra gas on me, I definitely would get a decent flat can. This plastic thing is junk.
Can you tell that I really, reaaaally want this snow thing to happen? I want a last hoorah for #miatalyfe
Past two winters (I’ve had the same budget snow tires on for almost three straight years now)

Hey, I tried, but the battery finally gave out and I didn't feel like jumping it

The Miata is equally enthused right now. IT’S JUST SO HAPPY!
But at first, I thought those board thingies were those life preservers life guards use at pools. Wrong season betrays my preference.

I’ve been out of touch.....didn’t your Miata get stolen?
And yea for Mattrax (or whatever they’re called!).

Honestly I find it easier to push start than pull out jumper cables. I wish it was that easy with all cars

Someone tried, but only ended up breaking off a key in the ignition and stealing my sunglasses . That ended up being a very costly replacement but... She’s still mine.
These are knock-off maxx trax and definitely not as robust, but yeah they’ve still put in some serious work!

If you don’t call your Chevrolet-Mazda the “Lee Johnson Special” I’ll
be seriously disappointed.

Always good to keep the lock de-icer inside the locked car!

I always carry those exact maxxsa boards with me when it snows, I pull out at least 2 cars every storm. Handy buggers.
