summertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime...

We have a new toy.

It's only a '99, no power anything, and it has over 84K miles on it, but it's in awesome shape [one owner who frickin' *babied* the thing], has a decent stereo and alarm system, was purchased from a dealer [so it's had a full inspection and overhaul], and has a 12-month/12K mile full warranty...not too shabby for a 10 year-old car. And now I have something to learn to drive stick on [and even a volunteer instructor with years of Miata experience].

Let the sunburns, windburns, and tangled hair begin...
