    St. Pete Fl

    I have not owned a car in fifteen years. I have had a company truck up until now. They made us park our truck's last year. I was way over riding my motorcycle in the rain. I had a GTO, biggest car I ever owned. A few of car's I have owned, 911, 944 ( Liked my RX-7 much more then the 944 ) jeep/CJ 5, Feiro, RX-7 X 3 ( never had a 3rd gen ) and a few more. After I sold the last car I just never cared about getting another. Had the VTX and a company truck. I have never owned a adult car in my life. My wife reminds me of that a lot, lol. So when I told her I was going car shopping, she could hardly wait. She was not shocked to see the Miata in the drive. I left looking for a Ford Ranger lol. I have had my Miata for about two mo. I forgot how much fun it was to drive my RX-7's. But I think I like the Miata more. Just not as fast. Small and just a blast to drive. My daughter and the wife refer to it as, clown car, roller skate and so on. I'm 55 and 6'1, they say I need to grow up. Good luck with that. Anyway thanks for reading my ramble. Smitty
