Default 03/31/2017....

My wife and I purchased our 2014 Premiere Edition. She had 83,600 miles on her, and we picked her up from Penske Chevrolet in Indianapolis, IN.

03/31/2018, she's been a great addition to the family (or "fleet" as my brother keeps telling me). Odo now has 94,3xx miles on her. Only mod was done recently, the MSRC upgrade, which is a big improvement.

She's seen a lot of the roads around the Hot Springs, AR area, plus some day trips with our local Corvette club. Last June she made a big road trip to the east coast (https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...road-trip.html).

This summer we're hoping to make a road trip to the west coast, but we've still got some scheduling/budgeting to do.

We're still keeping our C5 (she is family, after all!), but my LS1 Miata is going to go on the market as soon as I get a few things taken care of.

On to year #2!

Have a good one,
Mike

Congrats on the one year anniversary. Sounds like the car gets plenty of road time.

She does. Goes on at least a couple of 20+ minute drives each week.

Have a good one,

My 95 m edition Miata was just given to my son in Michigan. With my new 2019 GS, I just didn't have the room. So my son inherits our "family" member.

Nice inheritance! But, my LS1 Miata is way more than I'd want to give to my son. He'd probably do fine, but it's a bit of a raw beast: no power steering, no ABS, certainly no throttle control. Put the pedal down and it's just .

Have a good one,
Mike
