I've decided to start my build thread a bit early. Too many times, after having a car for a while, we forget about all the time we spent searching and looking at junk trying to find the "right car." I figured I would start my miata story now, the most appropriate time called simply "the beginning," when as of yet I do not own a Miata.
I've had a few decent cars that I've loved and worked on over the years. A few DSMs, a pair of mustangs, and a BMW that was my baby. It was the BMW that got me started into autoX and eventually led to my decision that I should probably just break down and buy one of those "chick" cars. The BMW was a lot of fun in autoX, but I felt as though it was outclassed against the Cooper-S. Sadly, I never had anyone with the same car that I could compare my own times to in order to see where to put the most emphasis. This lead to a great deal of frustration, and regionally I noticed that there were always a lot of miatas running around the track, comparing apples to apples.
To be continued....
