I just returned after traversing five states , covering 2350 miles .

I averaged 34.5 MPG !
Not bad for a little Hot Rod !

These Precious Babies, Kurt and Emily, were the Highlights of the trip.

Betty is my '99 Miata Roadster.

She was Stock when I bought her from a Nice Lady.
I'm the Second Owner.
I've had her Four years.
I Still Own Her.

I'm not into Fads that are constantly changing.

I've tried to Re-create an Automobile inspired by the Classic '50s & '60s European Roadsters.
She'll be a Classic on the road when other "Custom Cars" are stripped for the next Fad.

She is NOT a Garage Queen!
She Commutes Daily & I take several Multi-State Trips every year.

318 curves in 11 Miles, x 4... WOOooo HOOooo !!! And she didn't cross the Double Yellow once! 2006 was the last year you could Really Drive The Dragon.
If you go there now, Be Legal !!!
The Cops give out Tickets like Clowns with Candy.
Even if you don't do anything wrong. Tennessee gave the Cops extra money to Make Money!
