Looks very much like Northern Nevada. Very nice shots, but what does MBR stand for?

A couple of cool shots...thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your input and comment! I never got to drive this car much. I bought it in December of 2020, so it sat in the garage most days until Spring. It took 6 weeks to install the turbo, due to the tuning sending and getting data from back east. I finally got the car back but needed to log some miles on the EcuTek module, then send that data to the tuner, Fab9. So, I drove it three times after having the turbo installed, before it burned up, and it never got to it's full potential. I can tell you, from 55 MPH to 100MPH only took a few seconds, though! The 2021, I replaced it with, has 181 HP and that's really just about right.

Thanks!

Thank you...

Thank you! There's one for everybody...

The newest MX-5 convertibles are super fast to open and close...like 3 or 4 seconds at the most. Living in Northern Nevada at 4,600 feet above sea level the sun is pretty intense in the Summer and it's too cold in the Winter for top down driving most days. Consequently, most people with convertibles never put the top down. The RF is great for top down or top up driving. The ND are pretty small inside and actually a tad bit smaller than the orignal NA version. It pays to be a small person some times! At 5'-7" it fits me nicely. Thanks for the great comments and stay safe out there.

Yeah...couldn't quite take it down though!

Thanks for your comments! No, I most certainly don't mind you showing your MX-5! The NC Model is the one that really started to catch my eye. I have always wanted to drive a Miata, knowing that they really are one of the best sports cars in the world and quite possibly the most fun car in the world. Once I saw the RF, I had to get one. That in itself is a pretty good story, because once I found the car I wanted, I flew to Eugene, OR and drove it home...in December! It was epic! The RF Club with the BBS wheels, Brembo brakes, Limited Slip and Bilstien shocks are hard to find, especially with low miles. I have replaced it with a 2021 which is identical except it has Recaro seats. Because of the nature of the used car market and the fcat we carry replacement coverage, I received enough for my 2018 to buy new and only be out of pocket about $3K...this one will remain mostly stock.

Thanks for the compliment. See my reply above to yssirk123...we lost almost everything we own in a mere 20 minutes and will never know why. We would have had no vehicles if I had not gone to work that morning.

Thanks for your comment; we will never know what caused the fire, which is rather unsettling. There was only a handful of possible electrical sources, two of those being battery maintainers. And there were only two natural gas sources - water heater and furnace. Two other unlikely possibilities were my car which had not been driven for five days and my wife's Ford Escape which had not been driven for 2 days. After a month long investigation by a forensics investigator, the official cause is undetermined.

I'd like to hear somebody say Pyrrhuloxia!

I think it's my favorite as well.

Thank you!

Having just had a turbo charger installed, on my little RF, and needing to log some mile for tuning data I headed to Pyramid Lake which is 20 miles from home. I was greeted with awesome light and beautiful skies. Little did I know this would be the last drive in this awesome little car; five days later it would be completely burned up. I am super grateful these shots turned out, allowing me some enjoyment, even after this tragic fire.

Which of these three shots is your favorite?
