Here are two pictures of my 99 MIata I bought for autocross and general fun commuting. Its next to my trusty 240/300d na five speed.

Sorry I have not figured out how to take my own picture yet or I'd include my image in it.

That Merc looks pretty sinister in those black rims.

Still is a chick car....




Looks great! Whats the interior look like?

Nice car.. I want to sell my Accord and get a Miata. Too bad the price of them has increased since everyone has gone crazy about small cars.

Neat little car, Tom! The 240 does look wicked with those rims.

As far as a pic of yourself: turn camera towards you, hold at arms length, snap pic.

Nice landscaping, too, from what I can see. Of course, I would expect no less from an architect. Hope you enjoy that Miata, Tom, even if it is a bit "girlie." Who cares what we think, if you're having fun driving it?

I'm a bit partial to those Solaris coupes I've seen around here lately. I suppose they might be considered a bit "girlie," too.

Yeah Tom, let's see ya. I'm always curious about who the people are behind the names on the forums. Tom W and Carleton Hughes are two I'd really like to meet, just to see what they're about.

If by "Girlie Car" you mean this:

I'm OK with that

Damn, the stoic guys get all the girls...

I am not stoic.

If I smile for a picture when there is not anything funny it looks like a grimace.

Believe me if I came out and found those ladies around my Miata I would smile really large!

My benz autocrosser is on pause for now.

The total lack of any performance enhancing equipment is a serious drawback in campaigning a benz at the scca events.
