...please tell me you are chapter president of your local Miata club! Had a co-worker 15 years ago in So Cal that would do these big meetup rallies for Miata owners, I thought he was joking at first.
if anyone is wondering about Tony Bobulinski and this email story they should read this play by play of the battle between the Wall Street Journal editorial page and the WSJ news division: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...-the-Wall-Street-Journal-editorial-page-fight
Nope. Was never one for single marque car clubs. I bought mine in 1996 at Broadway Toyota in Portland. Used it as my first race car for about 4 years, decided I was good enough to graduate to a Lotus which I ran for about 8 years, decided to go vintage racing (much cheaper, you could run an entire season on the same set of tires) and moved to Alfas. The Miata stayed with me through all these years as my daily driver. I still have it, unfortunately, the SoCal sun has not been kind to it (It is parked outside) so it's paint looks like shit, otherwise tho, it still run like a top and is still tons of fun. It is slow enough that you have to work to make it go fast, but so balanced that it is always rewarding to do so. Mine has about 160,000 miles and for a car that spent 4 years as a race car, all these years as a daily driver, parked outside for the last 8 or 9 years and has been all over the west coast with me - I can't imagine any car that would still run that well despite all the abuse. Say what you want about these little cars, they are very good cars. You do not become the best selling sports car of all time for no good reason. Only thing I wanted to do with it and never could was run it as a rally car, regulations required a hardtop and a welded in cage - and I like it too much as a convertible - so it never got to do that. I suspect that it would have done real well with a raised suspension. I ran a BMW E30 as a rally car for about a year - and it was a hoot, and to me at least these BMWs with the M42 engine were as close to a 4 door Miata as you could get. Unfortunately, mine was totaled when a guy in a van ran into it when I was standing at a red light in North Portland. Would have probably kept it forever as well. Anyway, I had faster cars, I had better handling cars (Lotus), I had cars with more feedback (Alfas, Lotus), I have had much more powerful cars - but the Miata is still my favorite everyday, usable sports car.
So it's all true. People discussed Hunter Biden in emails! If this doesn't prove Joe Biden is corrupt I don't know what does. I call for a special prosecutor. There are so many questions that need to be asked. barfo
