Nugget-The '94 Miata

How does it feel?

[theothersawyer]

It feels great! I didn't really get to drive it too hard, since my drive to work is pretty much highway only. I got to throw it into one turn and it handled it very well! I always fly through this turn, but I was going about 5mph faster than I normally go and it handled it well, slight oversteer but it was very predictable!

Fog lights installed! They aren't wired up yet, but the will be wired up next week! Waiting on the pigtails to arrive!

Well I'm sure most of you have heard about the crazy weather Atlanta has had today! I was on my way home and everything was going great until all of a sudden it wasn't going great! Terrible alignment and **** tires. Everything was smooth sailing until it just all of a sudden let go on me. I was able to maneuver around two trees though!







Because my bumper doesn't accommodate tow hooks I had to get my mom to drive me home (2miles away) go get tools and the tow hook and remove the front bumper. A nice guy stopped and helped! Car is completely fine and sitting in a random neighborhood until I can get it back home!



I just ordered a tow strap from Projet-G that should work perfectly for me! It will save me a lot of time if something like this was to ever happen again!

Wow, that sucks, dude!

Glad you and the car are okay.

I just can't believe that the car is fine! The roads have turned completely into ice today. The difference between snow here and snow up north ( I'm from Michigan) is that none of the roads are plowed 24 hours later!

Northwest Arkansas doesn't know how (or have the equipment) to clear roads very well either. I just stay home if it snows at night or head home early if it starts snowing during the day.

Glad you are okay!!!!!!!!

EVERY year Atlanta gets snow/ice but continues to say that they don't.

I was just about to say, time to order or fab up a tow hook! Glad you and the car still in one piece, mostly. Time for some all season tires and crappy wheels, or maybe a winter beater car?

Funny thing is, I was looking up dailys last week!! Was thinking about a Fiesta or a Focus. I drive 500+ miles a week, so having a daily that gets 35+mpg highway would be awesome!

[theothersawyer]

Well my tow strap came in from Project-G! Ignore the dirty car. I haven't washed it since the roads are currently covered in salt/sand and it's just going to get dirty again!


And I need to reinstall my fog lights. I had to remove them when I removed the bumper earlier and was in too much of a time crunch when I put the bumper back on to reinstall them!
