Not much has happened lately. Just been driving it mainly.

Only mods have been ripping the lower seam on the boot cover so that it will fit around the rear supports of the roll bar (looks a lot...

Took a long drive last night and snapped this one (with the help of a tripod and my phone's flashlight):

ATS DTC Comp Lites were all but unobtanium even in 2008 when the FFD's first went on the market. The first Miata I ever thought of as a muse wore a set. If I could've found a set in 15x8 without...

New stuff...

Car is on the ground with help from the kiddos. They assisted me in lubing the slider pins at all four corners, then mounting the wheels. I opted for Roadstersport 3mm spacers and...

Gotta love when a job goes quickly. Then there are some of us who can't change oil in under two hours.

Bummer :(

I get it. Just saying it looks laughably small compared to more modern sports cars (and yes, I know why they have bigger brakes, as well).

Oh yeah, I know the stock stuff is fine for the car at stock power. It's just funny how tiny it looks compared to, say, a modern 911 GT3 RS, whose brake discs are nearly the same diameter as my...

OOOOOOOH ok.

Huh?

Got the kiddos to help me prep the car for its winter nap today :)

The more I look at that picture,...

Saturday was sunny so off I went to Cars and Coffee:

Ladies...this is what peak performance...

A good axiom:

Another nice day today means I took the car out for the day's errands:

lol...The wife would never go for that in a million years.

If you don't follow any of my social media stuff, you missed this.

Weather seems to be finally taking the turn for the winter soon, so I wanted to take the car out to one of my favorite photo...

:lol: Oh yeah...guess I do!

If nothing else, I've got this sitting next to my home office desk to remind me of where it was:
...

I am majorly wishing I'd have just handed the body shop a box full and said "here...do this while you've got the car apart". That was a numb-nuts moment on my part.
Looks good!

I was referring to the Belt Line Moulding. My fault. Here's how you pull it out:

How it got going...

Mine happens just sitting still. Rock the wheel back and forth quick and CLUNK-CA-CLUNK-CA-CLUNK.
Oh wow, man...thank you! I'm humbled. Thank you.

This has been a long time coming. I honestly never thought I'd get to this point. I had spent so much time and energy in fixes, anxiety, dealing with shop issues, and trying to just enjoy The Tick...

I got some "nice" pics of it today. I'll get them uploaded tonight.

Also, here are two quick tips if you're getting paint work done:

1.) Replace every damn piece of weatherstripping on the car...

Welp, here it is:
