No, I haven't lost it yet (although my exwife will argue that) I mean I'm leaving. The Miata and I are off to California tomorrow AM to see my sister. Her birthday is March 17th and she's going to be 18 (again, she's been 18 several times before!).
The Miata is loaded with
- Her new (I just built it from all used parts!) computer to replace the one she seems to have fried along with all the necessary software, etc.,
- A bunch of CDs because the twisties on CA-74 from Palm Desert to Aguanga require that Wagner's Die Walküre be blasting from the speakers and Ray Charles' Genius Loves Company for the straight stretches,
- A bottle of SPF 8,000,000 sunblock because I plan on having the top down,
Oh, yeah, I'm planning on maybe tossing in a change of underwear and socks also...
Wish me luck, I hope I don't need it but it's 726 miles round trip in a car with 134,000 miles on it.
I should be back this weekend if all goes well, however, in view of other threads here I might be back before I leave as the Miata is WHITE*! BTW, will a black tonneau cover slow it down? ;-)
