Update - just inches from life! - My NB Miata

When I bought her, I named my NB Miata Tanuki. Tanuki are mythical Japanese critters that look a bit like raccoons. They are good-natured mischievous little spirits with a heart (ahem, testicles actually) of gold who are said to rescue humans in distress with their magical golden balls. Lots of spirit and spunk. Kinda like the Mazda Miata.

My Tanuki is inches from coming alive! I got an update from the shop today that the components that were replaced are working fine. One last item to replace has to be done by a specialist. Depending on how long that specialist needs, I might be able to drive her again by the end of the month!

Oh to drive a zippy stick shift again with the top down and feel the road hum away behind me . . . . .
