Cars, Coffee and California...

To me, the Mazdaspeed wing always looked too heavy and unbalanced with the top down and since Mrs. R and I were contemplating some open air drives to get some fresh air while practicing safe social distancing I swapped the trunk over to the one with the Zoom engineering wing.


Mrs. R and my first “Zoom” meeting was a welcome break from the Zoom calls looking at multiple colleagues during Work from Home. The most fun I’ve had on Zoom was the KINOD call we had on Friday that Garret set-up. Much laughter and wonderful camaraderie as usual.

Requisite first stop to ensure there was a full tank of gas and obligatory snap followed by the only other stop that might have had people around (yes, gloves and masks in both instances)



On Sunday we decided to escape and drive the couple hundred miles to Lake Hughes and back to take in the incredible spring blooms of poppies. The views did not disappoint nor did the opportunity to get behind the wheel and enjoy the windy roads up through Angeles National Forest



Oh, and finally reapplied my “livery”. Maksim kindly sent off a larger set of the Okamoto Rubber Product Company stickers and I reverted back to the 20” roundel thanks to Adam.

Hope you and yours are all staying safe, sane and well!
