What’s not to like? I will finally have some measure of freedom to at long last take for granted again. A car is both a need and a want right now in my life — having a car is an essential in Texas, except perhaps if you live at Mockingbird Station. Austin is sprawling and not particularly dense, my job is on the opposite side of town as my house, the mercury has already surpassed 100 every day this week, and the transit system is infrequent and usually the sole reserve of the insane.

But this car will also be a metrosexual fashion accessory — it is a 1991 Blue Mazda Miata. It only has 125,000 miles on it, and the Mazda Miata is an exceptionally reliable car; I have heard of many examples reaching 400,000. And it’s keeping the car in the family — I know my uncle takes good care of it. I may be driving it as soon as this weekend.

Here’s a stock photo for your viewing pleasure. (Actual car not depicted!)

Since I’m simultaneously busy/lazy, I decided to skip the surprises and edit the theme on the fly. Anyway, thanks!
