Title: Bear's mid-life-crisis-mobile
Post by: TheSlyBear on August 15, 2010, 12:55:10 PM
... without the mid-life crisis.

I don't know what possessed me -- I've owned mostly Jeeps and trucks -- but I went ahead and got me the stereotypical red sports car.

So much fun to drive!

Bear!

Good for you man!  I am a little bit jealous.  Today would be a great day to have your wheels.  It's about 90 here in Seattle. I can just imagine driving it with the warm breeze caressing the dome and seeing the blue sky, pine trees and water going by!

Very nice.  Looks like an MX-5, I think.  I have spent a few miles in an older version of one of those, it is bliss with the top down and a curvy road.

That's downtown Austin. You can see part of the Colorado River as it meanders its way to town.

Bear I'm on my 2nd Miata 1st was a 97 but my newest is a 2002 Crystal Blue Tan Top and Interior with 6 speed with 26,000 miles.

Koni shocks was having a contest to find a Miata to represent their new line of Miata shocks, I threw a picture up on miatanet.com and they picked my Miata and I won 4 Koni Shocks and the Miata is on Koni website.

By the way nice looking Miata you have there.
