Glad to make your acquaintance. We used to have a MIata group meeting Tuesday nights at Buffalo Wild Wings, but it sort of dissolved. I hear there's a car get together up near UTC.

Mike Lowe has been my Miata wrench and does excellent work. Just in case, do you know of a specialist on twins here in town?

Unfortunately not the twins specifically, but there's a decent Subaru mechanic around Northgate Ct. called TopDeadCenter Motorsports. I know of the Lowes they have some really nice Rx7's.

As for meets there are weekly meets at Advance Auto off of Lockwood and University.

Chin is a good bunch and you get a lot of track time. Was with Northern New Jersey Porsche chapter for quite a while before that. Largest PCA chapter in the country. We ran a lot of events, all the way from Summit Point out to Mid-Ohio and up to Mosport and Mt. Tremblant. Been to Silver Springs a long time ago but don't remember any princesses.
WOW! You have had a lot of fun driving experience -

So, at age 81 - are you looking at "Buicks" yet? -

Have a great summer!

I have to make it another 29 days before 81. There are no Buicks in my future (as much future as an 81-year-old can have.) I haven't driven the FR-S all that much, but enjoy it a little more every day as I get used to it. A couple of my motorcycling buddies have gone to trikes. Ugh. I'm not into training wheels.

Yep, I'd rather drive a Miata than ride a trike -
