Hello from Houston!

[rokehn]

Hello all...I am an official Miata owner now! I have been gawking over these cars for years now, and I have finally decided it was time to get one for my own and see what the fuzz is all about. I bought my car two days ago...and I am in LOVE!

It's a 1999 Miata, Silver and completely stock. It has the Bose audio system, tan leather interior, wood-grain accents on e-brake, shift knob, and stereo system. I couldn't be happier. I have a Caliber SRT4 and I thought I was going to miss the turbo but, I haven't yet.

I currently live in Houston, TX, inside the loop in the Magnolia Grove/Rice-Military area of town. I'm a full-time student at the University of Houston double majoring in French and American Sign Language Interpreting. I work at Starbucks in Montrose part-time and I am learning to love this little car more and more every day I have it. My dog, Russell, a Beagle-Bassett mix, is still getting used to the small interior: he's been used to walking around and lying down in the back of my Caliber.

Essentially that is all. I do plan to do some modifications to my car...beginning with some retrofitted projector HIDs lamps and Fog lamps as well...I've come to realize how small I am on the road and want people to see me on the HWY at night. Eventually I would like to do a suspension and wheel setup, but that won't be for a few months...I'm enjoying the smooth ride, compared to my Caliber. Other than that, I look forward to reading through the forums and research some more on the car and look forward to any advice from Miata veterans. Thanks.

Welcome fellow Texan.

I'm not going to lie, it's a bit comical that you drive a miata...and work in montrose haha!

Welcome to the addiction, you will love your miata infinitely more than you could ever love your caliber.
