Houstonite! (Somewhat PIC heavy, not terrible though)

Hey everybody! Name's Ethan, and I finally decided to check out this site. I spend quite a bit of time on Clubroadster, but that's just in the Pub section. As of today (in 2 hours), I have owned my Miata for 1 year. I'm 17, about to turn 18 in March, and I love this car every time I get in it. Not something that I can describe to kids that go to my school, so I get on forums.
I am always wanting to make it out to the next local Autox, but funds seem to drop every month and I wind up not being able to afford it. I have a list of things I'd like to do with the car, but all in due time. I'm more concerned about what problems may arise now that I've passed 140k miles. Eventually in several years, this will be a track slut, but a loved track slut. I have no intention of ever selling her.

She has a few quirks, but I could care less. Meet Rosetta. by Ethan Nicosia, on Flickr

The paint was pretty obliterated, so I went to town for two days with some good 'ol aggressive compounds and then polish. Came out decent for the most part (rear finish panel hates me.)

And this is how we look now. The plastidip isn't for the "cool" factor. I hated seeing brake dust after only 2 days.

Welcome to the MR forum Ethan good to have you here with us

[Demon I Am]

wheels look good like that. I think Red and Yellow are the two stock colors that look good with black wheels

You can realign the headlight covers by gently tugging them upward to match the hood.

I have since done so! Thanks though!
