Looks good!

I will make sure to call you over for the "cleaning, detailing, make-it-not-look-like-shit" part of my Miata restoration.

Well, its time to close the final chapter on this project thread. The Miata sold today to a guy named Josh from Denver, CO. I posted it for sale on miata.net last weekend and he emailed almost immediately offering a deposit - he flew in today and started his westward journey this evening. I asked him if he would be ok in the Sparco seat for 25 hours - he mentioned that he drove a Lotus 7 from VA to CO for his dad, so I think that answered that question. I gave him some foam pads anyways :lol:

The car for him will be much as it was for me - a weekend toy to do fun stuff in - he promised to send me some pics of its first track day out west. Oh, and he did mention that he may drop it off at Flyin' Miata (which is SW of Denver in Grand Junction) for a turbo kit while he and his girlfriend enjoy a wine tasting retreat in Colorado's western slopes 8)





So long little buddy.

At least it drove off in all it's glory, top down in beautiful weather. Still sad to see it go.

[Goodspeed]

Joey - most appropriate gif ever. Well said.

Kaan - according to your sig, shouldn't you be cheering :wink:

The car and I definitely came a long way during those years, with the help of several people here. It was like selling my kid, but I didn't feel bad because I know the owner will treat her right and as Scotty said, the car is going to a much better playground.

Reminiscing...

The day I bought it



The good ol' early days







Before the new monstrosity stadium :lol:

RJ money shot thread, now

[Jake]

:-(

It was so clean. How many miles did you put on it during your ownership?

[Goodspeed]

Matt - lulz. My rain would be a pittance compared to your Cat 5 storm. I think we can step up to Vixens from Paradise City with our powers combined.

But of course:

13,459. About half of that in the first year I owned it ('09-'10) in Hburg, the rest in the last ~3 years here in NoVa.

But of course:

I'm going to assume this is the deposit and the rest of the Benjamin's are waiting in the bathtub for you to bathe yourself with.. :evileye:

Ha - are we suppose to use all the bills? I could've made the Sistine Chapel of RJ <3 8==> then, but I got lazy.

If I can do it, you can do it
