Megan the Merlot M edition

[Senor_Taylor]

Well, this is my first time at a computer since I bought it. I just got back from Summit a couple of hours ago and took the time to wash and wax it really quickly. As you can see in Matt's post, the Summit Point dust made me quickly forget what color my car is. Even after a crappy $3 car wash spray down and a 10 minute wax job, this paint SHINES. It's honestly some of the best paint I've ever seen and I might get it detailed in the future professionally or learn myself so I can gun for "Best paint" at next year's show. I bought some clear tape and re-taped the slit in the back window. Perfectly waterproof. I also sprayed water deliberately at the roof seals to see if they leak, and they do, but they pass the test for realistic situations for now. I am 100% certain this car was garage kept its entire life. The interior is very clean, the seats are in great condition, and the engine bay is immaculate. It's too clean.

As for driving it, it feels amazing. It's a far cry from the POS miata I had before. The seats are comfortable, the interior is BIGGER than a regular NA because of the special M seats and how thin they are. The A/C is great, cruise control works well, and the leather wrapped steering wheel is inviting. The clutch is buttery smooth and the gear changes are perfect. The 1.8 motor is very strong and puts a smile on your face when romping down back roads. It even gets the Jake seal of approval as it was the MM track slut this weekend and even spent some time as the pace car.







Here are some quick cell phone pics I took after the quick wash and wax, before the sun went down. I didn't get a chance to clean the inch of dust covering the interior though. Don't mind the blue tape on the antenna. That was just to listen to the radio on the way back and get perfect reception.
