Add annette and jim

 Please add Matt L.  Thanks!

Please remove Celia and Warren and create an opening for another member.  Celia and I have another commitment that has arisen in this day.  I apologize for the late cancellation.

Sorry to hear that you won't be able to attend @dudester7.  Hope to see both you and Celia at an upcoming drive!

Thank you. Us as well! It’s been awhile!

@ctt3mx5 nice. 

See you all then. Question tho. Which convertible to bring? 

just kidding. Honestly thought- likely going to order a 2023 black RF Club and trade in my 2020 Softop Club. At the moment it’s worth around $7-8k more than I owe, so dealer wants it - and trade in to save on tax. The dealer wants my car so bad they’re always calling and sending letters. 

The black car on the other side is my gfs car, it’s a 2008 Pontiac G6 GT w/ sport package and power hard top. Yes, this top goes into the trunk. Yes, it’s automatic. Yes, it’s front wheel drive. No it is NOT playful on the turns. It’s got good acceleration especially at high speeds- a v6 makes about 220hp & similar torque. 

Anyone ever see these?? I don’t think I have. Only 68k on it, she’s the original owner. 

edit: I also cannot figure out who this car was marketed for. It doesn’t do anything all that well besides the hard top and convertible. The interior is typical Pontiac-crap with way too many small buttons and all the fuel and engine/maintenance information is stored on the way out of date OEM factory head unit, which means you can’t even swap in a nice double din without losing oil life, trip, any issues etc  

Edit: sorry for off topic 

WOW !  What a great day for this event.

But even better than that, hats off to the Officers, Louie, Neil, Dave, Jeff and Ken as well as others that made today such a wonderful experience.  And let's not overlook the spouses of these Officers. We know it was a family affair.

Any new members in attendance got to experience and saw first hand the camaraderie, joy, laughter and friendship of our membership. So happy to see this event so well attended.

Once again, Kudos to you Men and Women.

Was nice to see everyone today! I had fun, thanks to the LVMOC leadership team for organizing it! I have been quite busy so I haven't been able to make it to drives, but rest assured I do want to go and I will try to make some time in the future to go (and I will drag my husband along if I can!). Hope to see you all again soon

P.S: My miata is the white ND with a lot of stickers. Yes I didn't back into the lot, not because I want to be different but because I'm bad at driving xD You are welcome to make fun of me!

Thanks to all of the LVMOC officers and volunteers who made Sunday's Car-B-Que such a great success.

Seriously thanks to whoever returned my wallet - I can’t believe I dropped it. Must have been distracted and got out of the car with it on my lap. 

seriously this community is amazing. Thank you whoever did, thank you

On behalf of the LVMOC officers, we are overjoyed at the turnout yesterday. I got to talk to many members that I haven't had that opportunity in a while. We had a great time with everyone and hope to see many faces at drives and the October picnic.

@rhetlaw Thank you Sir. Very kind words! Thank you for all that you contribute all year long!

Thanks to EVERYONE who helped to make this a successful event  👍 👍!  We were very fortunate to have fine weather and that the smoke from the wildfires in Canada did not return.  From what I'm hearing, everyone got enough to eat (the burgers were great, Chef Louie!), and the side dishes and desserts were yummy (thanks to all the folks who brought desserts!).

I personally enjoyed meeting our newer members, (for some of whom this was the first LVMOC event that they attended) and talking with the old-timers.  As usual, I didn't get to talk with everyone I had hoped to, but it was nice just to see your smiling faces!

The assortment of Miatas in the parking area showed that our members have a terrific assortment of cars.  Dave Y. again displayed his creativity with his NC, and I checked several cars that had some significant and unique engine and suspension "improvements" 😯!    I forgot to count how many Miatas were there... If someone did count them, please let us know via a reply in this thread.

I counted 81 people in attendance, which is the highest number since at least 2011 (as far as my records go)!  Thanks to all who came out!!

Finally, a special thanks to Evan Hill, who helped Janice cover the tables, and to "videographer" John Pitino, whose very interesting video clips of the event can be viewed on the LVMOC Facebook link.

I have a count on the total cars by generation and the version of the NC/NDs at the time I was there at least, when the video was taken, which was right at 3PM on the dot. Most definitely some had to leave early/out for a ride/someone left before I got there: 

NA: 5

NB: 4* 

NC1: 2

NC2: 5

NC3: 3

ND1: 5

ND2: 7

TOTAL @ 3PM: 31

*1 was a MSM (MazdaspeedMiata) 

I forget whose it is, but the one attached - poly metal. I love so much, and the black ND2 softop top, wow. Also the amazing artwork under the hood of the silver NC2- nice to see superchargers on a bunch too!

@stormnd2club 

Thanks, Jordan!
