Very hard for restaurants here due to high leasing costs. When a lease runs out, it doubles. The ale house also had competition when other similar type places opened. Have to remain very good. Some places have closed due to the parent company filing bankruptcy even if the local place does well.

The Miata got a photo shoot today for BaT. I decided to use the BaT photo service. Gary came over from New Orleans (I think) to do the shoot. Now everything goes up to Snappr who will crop and organize the photography.
Going this rout was $330 in addition to the listing fee plus $400 for detailing and paint correction. All this plus a new Robbins top and a timing belt and water pump service means I am way upside down.
But I bought it at a great price, and it just doesn't get the use it deserves. The roads around here just don't offer any real driving pleasure and I haven't been able to take it to where the fun is the last couple years. Oh, well. At least I made one MATG (Miatas At The Gap) meets and made plenty of runs on US 129, State Rd 28, and lots of other great roads in the area. Frankly, that one weekend was worth the price of the car. Not as wild and wooly as hitting those same roads in my S2000 but great fun in its own way.

I had a '93 LE way back in the day, thoroughly enjoyed that car, my mother made me sell it for something more practical when I was moving up to Michigan, still miss it.

Black over red was my cousin's very favorite color combo when we were kids. Looking at yours I'd have to say he had good taste.

Good luck with the sale, Mike.

Thanks, Lainey. I would have hired you or Gary, or Deb or Patricia or one of the Daves, or any of the other Vintage shutterbugs, all of whom seem to know your way around a camera. Sadly you guys are too far away.
With photography done I'm now waiting for Snappr to edit and upload the pics. Then BaT will write the auction article which I will approve or correct any misinformation before my Miata gets in line behind other NB Miatas already waiting for their week long auctions to launch. I have no idea how long that line will be but I just hope my auction doesn't slip into late fall or winter.

glad you didn't include me, it's hard to get good auto shots.
