Mazda Miata Meet & Greet







To see pics of the huge Miata meet in Lakeland, also known as Miatapalooza 2013, click HERE.

My wife Deb has a 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata she loves. It is a very fun car, with tight, confident handling and a lot of power for a four cylinder engine. It's also a nice looking car too, and nothing beats having a convertible in a tropical state like Florida.

She joined an on-line forum for other Tampa Bay Miata owners, who recently had a meet and greet in Tampa, where owners can compare each others rides, talk shop and swap ideas. It was a fun evening at a place called Rick's On The River.









The restaurant is on a quiet little river i Tampa with enough parking for a Miata rally.












The teeth in this Miata are made of plastic and give a really fun look to what is already a fun car. There are teeth kits for Miata owners that simulate shark, vampire and monster teeth.

















I really like the fastback treatment of this Miata. It gives the car a whole new, European look. I don't know why  Mazda didn't explore fastback options with the Miatas.














Deb's car is the red one; the current  Miatas are bigger and wider than the earlier generations.

Wow! That was an amazing evening! It’s so nice to see cars of the same model but have looks and styles. And, OH!, is that a vampire fever? The teeth kit is really cool! I must say, Miata is awesome, no matter what you do with its body!
