By no means am I getting rid of the car though. It will be fixed up an driving again, just never again a daily. I need to shop for its replacement now and not sure what that will be, but luckily I can drive the miata daily until then.
Everyone!
It is with the heaviest of hearts that I must announce that the last protege in the group is done with daily driver service.
Alternator believed to be not working (battery not charging), clutch hydraulics are gone and needs lots of pedal pumping to get into gear. Not worth spending...
Looks like I'll be at LRP in my miata! Went for follow up on my foot today and I'm healing well. Should be out of the boot in 2 weeks and I start light weight bearing on the 8th. Still will be using crutches though til end of the month. Can't see the value of driving to NC to hang with a friend...
That is still up for much debate. If my foot is okay to drive the miata, I actually will be dropping off my wife at JFK on the 16th and then continuing down to NC for a few days.
I go for a follow up on my foot on the 3rd to see how its healing. Really hoping I can at least get behind the wheel...
the auto we have in our house is my wifes rav4, but she doesnt want to drive manual so luckily my dad was willing to trade with me. I grew up in a manual family and my dad only has an auto because he has to drive a ton for work. My mom just got herself a 2016 accord in 6spd. She refuses to give...
hey my job is "great". My commute is 3.5 miles, i get paid handsomely, benefits are unreal. Just the work itself is rather boring and rarely do I do any design or true engineering. We get summer hours until labor day (work four 9 hour days then one 4 hour on Friday), so im out at noon and off to...
I know right?! So selfish.
Your RX7 build makes me want to spend so much money that I dont have on the miata or in buying my p5 replacement. Gotta stop coming here.
i just wanna drive mine again
Looks like a great time Mark! I was torn between doing the Ohio cruise or the Moss miata cruise, but then my injury said no to both.
Instead we took the rav4 up to the national forest in VT for some much needed forest time
I wanna drive my miata!!!! Foot looks more like a regular foot these days in the morning, but by days end its a balloon again since I cant elevate above my heart while at work sadly. 26 days until I may get behind the wheel again at least. Driving automatic sucks!
Thanks Mahk! Been a very boring first week just laid up on the couch. Im at least happy that I am in good enough shape to get around moderately easy on one foot.
No miata driving for me for the month! While goofing around with friends on memorial day a friend and I fell on eachother which lead to a broken foot on my part, he was fine. Heres to hoping to being back behind the wheel of the miata in a month!
Im coming up on 10 years with the p5 in July so my car shopping is beginning for serious. I wish I could love the cx5 but I sadly dont, and not only because I cant get awd and manual. Not sure what Ill end up in, but likely wont be another mazda :(
