Miatatude

It Was Just A Matter Of Time…

…until I posted another gallery full of my pictures. Yesterday was Thursday and I added my top 20 photos taken for Theme Thursday. Today is Friday, so today I added my 20 favorite entries for Photo Friday. I now have until Tuesday to get my Phototime Tuesday images up.

…until I scraped my front lip spoiler on a curb. 53 weeks. Today at lunch I pulled in a little too far and heard that awful noise. Fortunately it just scraped the underside and is not noticeable unless you are laying on your belly like a reptile. After a year I guess I just got complacent, plus the angle parking thing didn’t help, I do it so rarely that it was easy to misjudge.

Started down, still down.

It’s All Greek To Me

Didn’t get a Vampire Teeth photo in, but for now here is an outtake from Saturday’s portrait shoot. I’ve said the car looks more snake-like than vampiric, but in this picture it kind of reminds me of the Alien from the movie of the same name.

The only Miata trip was a run to the store for groceries; I barely got the oil warm.

Donna, her mom, and I piled into the MSV and went over to Augusta to the Greek Festival, mainly to eat lunch and poke around some of the crafts for sale. Tables were set up for eating under a big ol’ tent in the center of which was a small stage and a dance floor, so for our dining pleasure we were serenaded and regaled by traditional Greek music and dance. I even had a Greek beer with my gyro called Mythos, and the connoisseur that I am declared it very beerish.

Not So Much Undead As…

…snakelike. The Vampire Teeth are in, and the more I look at the car with them on, the more I think it looks like a snake. So I guess I’ll toss out the Blood Bank background idea and start looking for a Reptile Zoo.

They’re Here

Teeth – The Emperor’s Halloween costume arrived in the mail today. Probably install it tomorrow. Pictures to follow, possibly in front of a funeral home or perhaps in a graveyard at night. Instead of calling the Miata “The Emperor” maybe now I should call it “Nosferatu.” The higher cost of gasoline and the need for premium fits right in with that name too.

Peektures – Got the CSS of the Galleries to match the Blog. The Miata photos have the descriptions attached. The Post Office shots will be done tomorrow.

The Sky Is Falling!

For the first time in almost a month* I had to put the top up in anger. We actually had rain this afternoon. Light rain for about a couple of hours, but it started just about quitting time, so I had to pull the boot and drive around like a regular car for a while.

* I’m not counting the Gap weekend because we normally put the top up for overnight hotel stays…

Goin’ Gappin’

Come back Sunday night to hear of our daring exploits at Deal’s Gap. It is supposed to be a MMC event, but there are only 2 cars going. That is not a *Club*, it is just a couple of Miatas driving down the same road at the same time…

Started down, still down.
