     I just spent the last 6 years in a 1991 Mazda Miata. I sold it at 245,000 miles. I live at Lake Cushman and work at Simpson Timber in Tacoma. I get to drive 140 miles round trip and what a car my Z3 is. It is so much fun to drive and in these days of the gas crunch I get 34.4 miles to the gallon.  My wife and I went on the canceled Mountain Twisties run which was changed to a back roads run. I think we were the only 4 cylinder at the event. I know we were the only 4 cylinder Z. the car performed great and boy do those M drivers like to drive fast. We kept up and had a blast. Thru the next year I would like to get the car a Dinan badge for S1 engine modifications and Stage 1 suspension. This car is a great piece of German engineering and instead of owning a Corvette for my 50th birthday I will have an M3 or a Z4.
