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
This past Saturday on the 15th, Miatas of Long Island hosted a meet and cruise event. The event would have us driving through an undisclosed road through the Nassau and Suffolk county area. The event would have us meet, eat and drive. A special thank you goes out to Stacey for constantly planning and hosting all these events for Miata owners not just in Long Island but throughout all of
The weather is never on our side with Miata events planned by club members in our group. The first 5’s Day was rescheduled because of inclement weather. On the date of the rescheduled drive, it rained at the end of the night when we got to Times Square. This year there was also an unofficial 2nd 5’s Day event in May, which also encountered a rain delay. It was no
This past January 30, was the 100th year anniversary of the car manufacturer Mazda. They are responsible for the Cosmo, the RX line, the 787B and the Miata to name a few of their iconic cars. I wanted to take this time to celebrate their contribution to automotive culture in particular with their roadster the Mazda Miata. I have always wanted to learn how to drive a manual car. I
The Nutmeg Miata Club in Connecticut annual hosts their Auto Cross event at Lime Rock Park. The event is for members on a first come first serve basis. If you are not a member, you can still be invited, if you sign up early. I got a last minute invite from Dave McCaughan since a few members had cancelled. It was a no brainer and would be the first time I
The visceral feeling and open air allow me to experience the beautiful chaos in my own private space. Below is the experience of drop top life in New York City.
I am very fortunate enough to be part of the first ever Miata of Queens meeting. It was a great turn out of the next generation of young roadster enthusiast. I was not given the heads up with the turbo charged NA. I do appreciate the element of surprise. I hope to see more of this group and there was of course a drive to the K1 outer and inner
The original 5s Day was suppose to take place on Cinco de Mayo but weather did not permit. The rain date was rescheduled to 5.11.19. Guess what happened the day of the rescheduled event? It rained but we made the best of it. My perspective of the meet does not capture the whole experience. The groups met up at different locations in the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and New Jersey. There
5s day came into existence thanks to Nick of NAV Media Lifestyle, suggesting it would be a great idea for the little dongsaeng of the RX7 that annually has 7s Day (shout out to PRIME) to have their own small version that can celebrate pop up headlights. The planning for the actual shoot was done almost a year in advance. Unfortunately some of us that were original founding MOB members,
