“mile”stone.

Earlier this month Moss and Roy both hit milestones in their miles traveled.

On 110609, Moss broke 18,000 miles! If I did my math correctly, I average approximately 621 miles per month since June 2007.  In a way, I do take pride that his odometer is low, but on the other hand it is mostly city driving and lack of long distance driving.

On 110309, Roy crossed over into 80,000 miles!!! This was far more depressing because in my mind he’s getting older.  The only comfort I get is that since 1993, Roy has averaged 417 miles per month.  There is a bit of guilt when I do take him out on “long” drives and I wish I could just keep him mint for as long as possible.

wishlist.

Roy’s wishlist:

Hawk Performance Brake Pads

Tein Basic Coilovers

Tein Strut Bar

Racing Beat Front Sway Bar

Racing Beat Rear Sway Bar

Flyin’ Miata Frame Rail Brace

My goal with Roy is to improve what Miatas are known for (among other things) – handling.  My hope is that with the above parts, Roy will stay planted in the ground through the twisties while I’m being tailgated by a car with far more power ^_^;; I think I’m on the right track.

My humble wishlist:

Tracy Reese Printed Silk Shift Dress

Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Natasha Bag, Black

Canon EOS Rebel T1i

Since Roy is more important than myself, my wishlist is a bit smaller, although way out of my budget! The MMJ bag I don’t necessarily need, but once it’s gone it is GONE! I hope to get one of these items soon because checking online everyday for sales is not healthy :( .
