I have never been happier with a car than with this Mazda MX 5 Miata.
I love it.
Have 5300 miles on it already and haven’t yet gotten the slightest tired of driving it!
Handles great and since it’s not meant to be the fastest sports car out there (but maybe one of the most fun) it’s perfect for me!
I’d likely kill myself off in a 0-60 in 4 seconds kind of car. Though I am partial to Porsches dunno why.
Though I’m not a fast driver overall I love to go through the gears. (Yes, manual 6-speed of course)
And this engine is fun to do that in and you don’t have to be breaking any speed limits to enjoy the power of the car!!!
I really do love it. Does everything pretty damn well I’d say.
It’s the one thing so far I can do that allows me to be moving when I really need to be, on my own, and de-stressing.
Which I really need more often than I’d like to admit these days…
Glad I have the car now too because it’s actually kept me sane after my mom passed away May 30. Got it early July.
I’ve put 5000 miles of therapy on my new car that if I didn’t buy and had successfully talked myself into another conservative, predictable, boring car: I’d most definitely have strangled someone already by now. Hmm.
Memories are funny things.
I have definitely chosen to selectively remember things from the past, sometimes out of self-preservation I suppose.
BUT (and it’s a big one)
Memories come back and haunt you when emotional things happen.
And they interfere with the selectivity and denial that becomes life.
Forgotten memories returning to the surface create new brick walls where things were fine before
and tear down long standing walls that you didn’t expect to ever come apart and are caught off guard.
ie: it sucks right now.
I basically got through the depressed stage, except on some really bad days.
Now well into the angry stage (and trying my damnedest not to crucify anyone while over on the dark side here.)
It’s getting harder and harder it seems.
Sigh.
Well I guess it’s time for a top down, nice night drive I think or maybe a swim.
I’ll decide in a few minutes.
My MX 5 makes me smile. That’s worth a million to me right now!
G’night,
Laura
