    Hello from Eastern N.C.

    Just wanted to say hello to everyone. My wife and I are first-time owners and absolutely love this thing! We were looking for something for her to commute with and I was able to talk her into a Miata. We ended up with a 2011 Special Edition in Dolphin Gray Mica with only 19K miles. Being her commuter, I have no problem with the AT that's in it. Added bonus is the 34 MPG we got on the first tank we checked. So much better than the 15 MPG she was getting with the Jeep. I'm sure I'll have a few questions here and there, but I hope to find some folks in this neck of the woods that we can hook up with to cruise occasionally.

    Fellow NC Miata here. And my roots are from your way, rather than mine.

    Just FYI. They like pics. here. Open a free Imagur acct. and the you can post without the hassles. Click on your pic in Imigur. Then the second to the bottom quick-link that reads post to blog/ forums. Done. Click Head to your post here and 'CONTROL V'. You are done.

    Peace my fellow Nut! And your wife!

    Thank you, neighbor. I'm actually in Kinston, NC, straight East of RTP on Highway 70. Posted a couple pics from the first couple of days we owned it.

    Thank you sir! Great to be here! Think I figured out the pic thing with Photobucket. By the way, love seeing these well taken care of Miata's y'all have. Quite an inspiration.

    You and the wife up for a "short" trip week-end after next?

    Morrisville, just west of Raleigh. Cars and Coffee. I plan to aggravate tsingson as much as possible pre the 'Palooza run.

    Hopefully Pyro and Demon make it out, too. Demon might still be in Honey-moon mode, though!

    Thanks for the invite. It will depend on what she has going on. She does have a class to teach on Saturday, but not sure of the time. If not this time, we'll definitely try to get the next one.
