Well, the miata is no more. Here is its replacement, a 2002 BMW M Roadster. (vroom) *

Not the most attractive car in the world, but damn is it fast. *

I still haven't bothered to count how many ///M logos are on the car.

Fun in the sun. *

Spirited drive up old spicewood on day 0 of the car with Pink Floyd soundtrack (1.6MB) *

More of spicewood (2.3MB) *

Still more spicewood (2.1MB)

OK, I'm mainly just futzing with the camera at this point (1.4MB)

The "magic" 1,111 mile mark.

Distance shot of my new license plate frame courtesy of knobmeister. Very nice workmanship and stellar customer support. Recommended vendor.

Close-up shot. That's me in my Compaq "Fast, not Half Fast" shirt in the reflection. I've since moved this frame to the front.

Wider shot of back frame once I put the black one on. *

Closeup of rear plate and frame

Angled shot of the front frame, it's easier to read in real life.

Closeup shot. It was impossible to get the light/reflection proper to make this readable.
