I drove the Miata down to Laguna Seca raceway yesterday, following pop and Arti in the wagon.  The Golden Gate Chapter of the BMWCCA was holding a Driver Education event there, which I thought was a good choice for the Miata’s first outing since they hold the safest and sanest events I’ve attended.

Installed the “R” Chin Spoiler this morning. It ended up being fairly easy, there are just lots of clips and bolts that hold it to the existing bumper cover.
