Hi Mazda Family,
My name is Tiffany. I was born and raised in the beautiful state of Florida. Sarasota, Siesta Key beach to be exact. I grew up building big blocks with my Father GM 454 and 502. I had Dodge Viper's and 70-74' Cuda posters on my walls. My Mother frowned on me being a gear head, but learned to appreciate it over the years since I'm the one who works on her truck now. After my best friend, my Father passed in 2000 I needed to re-group and find myself. I moved to Louisville, KY in 2001. At that time the cost of living was less expensive than FL and I noticed the car scene was larger here.
I restored British Classics; Subeam Tigers, Austin Healey Bug-Eye Sprites for a bit. I then started a car lot of Miata's in my driveway, lol. They're so easy to work on, super dependable and fun little go-karts to drive. Then with the loss of my job in 2011 before Christmas all my toys had to go. I lost everything, but one 2001 Miata LS 6spd. After the loss of everything a miracle happened, I got the job I've always wanted. The first thing I did was celebrated and traded my Miata in, and bought a 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe. I know, I know….
Every car I’ve owned in the past was black, but I found a great deal on a red 99’ LS which I’ve recently purchased. It’s a 5spd with (used) to be tan leather. I sold my tan interior and gutted the car two weekends ago. I purchased full black interior out of a low mileage 2003 Special Edition and will be installing this week. However, the door panels are installed and yes, they DO need modification. 2001+ have door cables. I had to bend the rods, so my door handles and locks would work. I found a Velocity Red Mazdaspeed rear view mirror and installed that. Other than that, I haven’t owned her long and she is bone stock. I’m currently looking for wheels, 01+ heads and bumper….As you can see she is an ongoing project.
Anyway, I wrote enough. LOL Thank you, for having me.
