Which is much worse because that means speeding is "at the discretion of the officer". |

Seriously, we are having a lovely day here in the frigid NE, a balmy 52. So I took the Miata out for a ride. Probably one of the last of the year. Global warming has some benefits. Enjoy the day! |

The miata has a tiny interior, putting the top down can actually be an emergency procedure depending on your diet and your passenger. :-) Pat |

I like it because it looks almost identical to my car, even though I don't like the color red on cars. > 83 degrees: rub it in, why don't you!

Actually it hit 85 with minimal clouds. Tomorrow looks like a high of 74 and then it is going to get really cold, dropping down to the mid-60's. Don't worry, I pay for it dearly in the summer. My miata has no A/C and we had a nice hot, humid summer this year. In August I was getting hungry at a light wondering what was smelling so good until I realized that it was me that was being cooked. :-) > Enjoy the day! Thanks! Pat |
