Miata is Always the Answer

Anyway, I drove up to Kentucky a little while back and I got distracted by the beauty and the fun back roads so I didn't get to many pics of the ol' girl.

Hung out with a friend over the weekend while trying to avoid as many people as possible. Real easy to do, honestly, especially when exploring new places I haven't been to.

I've done quite a bit since the last time I posted. I have installed flyin' Miata sway bars and tower brace, as well as Tein coilovers and enkei92's. It's coming along nicely I'd say!

An attempt at improving the engine bay. Maybe white wasn't the best idea but I like it.

Drove all over Florida a little while back. It was beautiful and fun! Too bad (or luckily?) we didn't run into any Florida men

Spooky season's over but have some abandoned buildings for your frightening pleasure.

Gooood morning Undead Radio! We have quite the bone chilling 13th this Friday but don't let that distract you from these spooky rattles we're about to drop.

After being away from Florida for 6 months, I'm glad to be back. Although my eyes have been opened to the fact that humid heat sucks. Dry desert heat was where it was at man.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back. All this in the midst of the hurricane that's currently grazing us.

Well, after finding out how much it's gonna be to get her properly fixed and a bit of a hiatus, I've decided I'm gonna let her to. I'm gonna keep her while I'm up here in Washington but when it's time to head back to Florida, this'll maybe be her final resting place. Or maybe not, who knows, because I'll be leaving her in Coop's Miatas' hands. As for me, it'll be a hot minute before I can get my hands on another one but at least a lesson was learned and hopefully I won't be ruining another perfectly good car.

It was late at night on Tuesday when I was going around the mountain bends of the area when the back end started to kick out so I went to correct it but I suppose I over did it and ended up hitting the barrier with the front, 180ing and hitting the back 90ing back onto the road like nothing happened. She's (mostly) fine, she turns on, the radiator is unruffled, the bumper and frame are mostly untouched. I just have to replace most of the panels, hood and front bumper cover and get a paint job but all in all the lesson is to respect the touge. Could've gone a lot worse. Honestly if she wasn't as low as she is, her front end would definitely have been pushed in by the guard rail. This isn't the end for this little miata though, as I won't just scrap her because of my idiot mistakes, she shall be road worthy eventually and I shall see it to the end. I'm sure I'll get a lot of flack for losing control and ruining a good miata but hey, we can't all be pro drivers.

I've got some good news and bad news. The good news is that the mountains are beautiful, the bad news is that they can be unforgiving.

Well I did a 13 hour shift this time and went through the rest of Cali, past Oregon, and into Washington. It was rainy for half the trip and when it finally stopped it was already dark out so that was lame. But hey, we made it to Washington!

We drove out of Arizona into California today. We were in the mountains and I wanted to drive through the Angela's Crest highway but it was closed. That or the sign lied and we believed it. Either way, we had some frightening fun times on the wet curvy roads of the other mountain passes we drove down. No guard rails, we die like men.
