It’s been two years since the last time I have been to an 8/6 event. That one was also hosted by Machine Lush when it was over at Mitsuwa. It has since moved to the Paul Miller Toyota dealership in West Caldwell, New Jersey. A huge shout out goes to Jonathan Chin and everyone over at Machine Lush that volunteered and contributed to a fun and memorable event for enthusiast
I have been lucky to have my car for roughly the same time length as the age of this car club. Some of the earliest memories I have of going to Miata-related events were with this group. There have not been too many Miata groups that have come out of NYC, Gotham City Roadsters, now defunct and the NYC Miata group are two that were prominent before my time of
It has been two years since the last block party that took place on 2020. I got an invitation to the event – thanks to Prav! It was great because this meet was a few weeks after 7’s Day. I’m glad this was local since I had some issues with getting to 7’s Day because of a flat. I did make it to the tailend, but that story is for
It’s difficult to go to a Cars and Coffee event out here in NYC, especially as a car owner within the 5 boroughs. Space is limited and as a resident your options locally are slim to none, unless you are on the lookout for specifically curated events within the automotive community. Cars and Coffee is an event that usually takes place every Sunday across North America, weather permitting, where you
일. The Morning After the BBQ it rained quite a substantial amount that lasted from the afternoon throughout the entire evening. I was not sure how it would look on the course but the forecast for the day had the skies clearing in the afternoon accompanied by humid weather. This was my first time ever at an autocross event. I must say I unofficially learned a lot during my time
Machinelush held its season BBQ opener this year for the first time in a while since the pandemic started. Luckily the weather was on our side and nothing had to be rescheduled. Rain was in the forecast for later in the afternoon but we were able to still have a slice of the cake and have ourselves a good time with cars, people, food, and the backdrop. That kielbasa was
It’s great to be out and back with the automotive season ramping up for the year. I made my first event of the year and it happened to be a kei car meeting. For those that do not know what a kei car is I will let you know. In Japan, it is vehicles that are the smallest size allowed legally for road use. These cars can be imported once
PREFACE It was on Saturday I needed to make a decision. That was whether I was going to come back to the Tail of the Dragon. From where I stayed, it was about a two-hour drive to get to Fontana Village. I was adamant about going to Lane Motor Museum after seeing Doug DeMuro rave about it in a video in which he reviewed the Volkswagen XL1. I live for
This section covers the second half of the event. It is a closer look at some of the conversations I had with Miata fans, the surroundings, license plates, and stickers. Tidbits from the event: A gentleman that is a Corvette owner accompanied his wife to the event. He wanted her to experience sports car ownership. She brought him to the event and he knows she is falling in love with
I am grateful to attend the 25th anniversary of Miatas at the Gap as my very first experience. The unofficial event had over 1000 plus registrations for the 4-day event that started from Thursday, August 5th through Saturday, August 7th. Last year the event was canceled due to the pandemic, but this year marked the return to celebrate this particular roadster. My first day at the Tail was rough because
