Naranja

October ahoy! 'Tis the season of pumpkins,turkeys, and slutty [insert almost anything] college coed Halloween outfits. To celebrate the new season, the Miata got some new shoes. The wheels were purchased off a gentleman on the R3vlimited forums, who happened to work within miles of where I live. They are old 90s era rims, in the classic 5-spoke design I love so much. The tires are from an autocross buddy who bought new ones. Big props to Rob S. for hooking me up!

The plan is to run them solely for autocross, and in the spirit of race cars everywhere, I decided to make them as outlandish as possible. So, how's orange?



Let's compare the old tire/wheel combo to the new:


And on the car:


Combined food/beverage of the day: Bourbon Pumpkin Milkshakes. 1e6 calories of awesome! Also, now I'm a bit drunk. Verdict: delicious, but leave out the graham cracker crumbs and go a bit light on the pumpkin seasoning. And maybe don't do a shot of bourbon before making it. That last one's just a reminder for me though...
