We've already been buzzing around in a parking lot, and she managed to get cozy with changing gears in motion while driving in ovals (35-40mph ovals, thanks to the car's handling!), but hasn't mastered the start-off yet. She inherited my Acura and she's supposed to be to practicing with the sport shift. Chris, I thought about starting a car blog myself, but doubted I'd have enough content to fill it. The content is already pretty broad on this blog though, so I can ramble on about that and other things too. She’s just never had much of an opportunity to work with a straight drive.

I think it might be time to learn. One of the great things about driving a small sports car that handles well (Nissan Z, never driven a Mazda Miata, just assuming) is using the gears to navigate the curves, and of course, using them well.

I have a friend in Seattle with an older Miata that he put a turbo in himself. My parents have a '99 that I am toying with the idea of buying from them down the road and dumping a turbo into. It would be a lot of fun. Also, welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. Good to see another carhead. I had rumblings about starting up an automotive blog along with a few other people, but I've been too busy to get it going. Maybe one of these days..
