I dont even know where to start. Im sure youve all heard it before. 


I bought my new car about 30 hours ago. I cant get it off of my mind!!! YES!!! It is 
truly a wonderful car. I puchased a '91 classic red, with 39k miles. Very 
stock...manual steering, no ac, aftermarket wheels , decent stereo. 
Beautiful shape, only a few rock chips, wonderful top  48 year old 
Bishop and 62 retired man are the prvs. owners. Babied all the way. Ive been reading 
some archived mailing lists for the last 3 days, and feel I got a good deal. I always 
know when I hit 65MPH...I guess Ill need to take care of that...easy enough. 

Im sure that seems like the usual first post, well I dont know if this is usual. I dont 
know if there is a word for it, besides transcendence, but I was found myself without 
my 'self' WOOOO! 8b    It just feels right is and understatement, I prefer, It just 
feels sublime! My favorite car to drive, both slow and fast WAS the 928S, It is now the 
Miata! I cant belive Ive been missing this for so many years!!!! I was thinking about 
keeping my 240z.....hahahahah NOT A CHANCE! Neg. camber is wonderful, and fresh 
bushings came with my Miata!  

Hotshoes!!  Are you wrinked from the grin plastered to you face?  Driving 10/10s for 
laps on end has to be a blast!  I have noticed that I seem to have a bit of power on 
oversteer in tight right hand turns, right lane to right lane, but have never heard the 
fronts scrub, Is this normal? What PSI do you suggest? Im thinking that the near max 
pressure I have is a bit too high (BTW stock bridgestones-14")...

I now wish I had a micro recorder in the car, I must have yell "YAAAHOO!!" 10 times 
already, and it had to do with normal driving....when I push the car, I just shake my 
head and think, I could have gone A LOT faster!

More notes later.....Hello Brothers and Sisters! Mail any messages to me at anytime, Im 
not shy, and always reply! I dont know much bout Miata, but I _AM_ in love with this 
car, if youve had Zen experiences in your Miata let me know...I would hope that some of 
you  have been there.

			SOO very happy he didnt buy a 92 MR2 instead!!!!

ps. No sig. no name for the car yet, but arguably the happiest car buyer in the world!
