I've been away too long. It will be two years next month that I traded both my crossies for a tuna boat for wife to drive. As things turned out, I did not turn in my diver
's license, but I did spend 3 months in the hospital after a nasty fall and 13 days total amnesia. The following three months were in intensive physical therapy, learning how to walk again and reconstruct my motor reflexes. THL I made it out better than when I went in, but missing Snow White and my SR 6 Blue Boy. This summer I purchased a 2010 MIATA MX5 retractable hard top and have been having a all on the twisties with it and new found friends.
It is a beautiful handling car, and has a cult following much like the Crossies. It is NOT a CROSSFIRE though, and the itch finally became to great, so last weekend I scratched, and bought an Alabaster Roadster with 18,000 miles on it. My two cars now are apples and oranges in comparison, both with their own merits and both with their own faults. Hopefully at 83, I still have a few good drives left. Will see you on the road.
Dan, (Inferno) I will send you the numbers shortly. Hi Everyone....
