Well, that looks like fun. Lemme see if I have some spare cash to pay for airfare and hotel when the time comes...
In other news, I crossed the 10k mark of ownership yesterday. In celebration, I left the car in the driveway and took the Miata to dinner :roll: Didn't even manage to get a photo of the odometer, this is the best I could do:

Ownership-wise, it's been good to me. I scuffed the passenger side skirt a few months ago, backing out of my friend's driveway that has an extremely steep curb - but you can't see it unless you look underneath. The driver's foglight lens is cracked (thank you, VIR) and a new assembly is $60 from Ford. Going to fix that soon.
It's a pretty neat car. I like it a lot. I don't think I love it. It does everything it's supposed to do, pretty well. I just don't really connect with it much. It's fun to drive, but I don't see myself keeping it past a year or two.
