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’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
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
Miatas at the Gap almost never happened for me. If you recall during my previous post in Lime Rock, I mentioned having my exhaust hanger fail after the touge event. I was on my way to New Jersey to catch a screening of Fast and the Furious and the unfortunate failure occurred. When this transpired, I decided to do all the major maintenance on a car that is a decade
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
Twice a year New Jersey Miatas host their annual spring and fall meet for Miatas in New Jersey and the surrounding tri-state. I have been to two of their seasonal meets. The first one I attended was my first year owning the NC which was in the fall of 2016 and the next one was the fall that following year. The last time I went to this event, it had
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
Special thanks first and foremost to everyone at PRIME NYC for being able to host Street Icons in 2020 despite all the turmoil that is going on globally. The original event was first held in October of 2016. The event is special because no one in New York City within the Japanese automotive tuning community has ever done an event where there is a festival for like-minded tuners to gather
After the initial warmup runs, fans were treated to the part of the show that allows us to get a closer look at the drift machines that have been burning rubber for a few hours. The cars pulled up by the entrance section of the track where the merchandise is located. We had a car show! The lineup was something that mirrored what I saw in countless Drift Tengoku magazines
