I'm OFF!

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

1. 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.,

2. 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,

3. 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? ;-)­

LMAO!! Mine's white. Yipee! Good luck on the trip -- sounds like
fun.

Not really. It mainly provides additional down force on the rear
wheels. Just like a wing, but without looking like a Mitsubishi.

I am glad to see that you are paying careful attention to what
I say. That is important.

You won't need it, my 90b with 255,000 got 36mpg on my 700 mile (one
way) trip from MS to NC last week... Of course, that was mostly on
boring interstates.
