Some notes:

I’m too small for this car. That applies for most sports cars though. My old Miata did have more room, but I had to modify the seat to get the extra room.

Damn the Miata was a fun car.

Damn the Mazdaspeed 3 was a great car. That was a fun daily driver.

The Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position tire is fantastic.

Nissan Z owners have some money. Saw a lot of nice builds. Also a lot of GT-Rs that I imagine are former owners.

I understand why dad loved and cherished this car.

I’ll be back in August(maybe sooner if I decide to make a trip up there) but we’ll make it happen.

I need to visit the Dragon one of these years. I’m only one state away. But still nearly 500 miles.

Are there any big yearly events at the tail of the Dragon? I’m interested in making a trip down, but I think it’d make be cool to make a weekend of it during a gathering.

Agreed. Hell, my wife and I were down in Gatlinburg for a week last month and my wife already wants to go back.

Plenty! What do you drive? There is likely a meet for it, if it is a sporty car.

Good to know! I drive a GTI, and I would totally be down for a Euro meet there.

I’m certain VW vortex has a meet up there! Probably a huge meet.

I don't really do car meets anymore unless they are at the dragon.

I would love to do this with the wagon some time. I'm sure it would be the only 1st gen lx out there.
