Another fun weekend camping near the beach in Northern California. Bit of bumper damage, no mechanical issues and plenty of fun stories.

Baja Boost!
Boost baby! Making more torques down low to pull through that nasty sand. Fast Forward Supercharger setup that is street legal in CA.
Miata Reunion 2023
Another year another Miata Reunion in the bag. Fun weekend with new and old friends.
Upgrading Miata Lighting Situation
Let there be more light? Miata needed an upgrade to its miniature suns. Adding amber and yellow to reduce eye stain while increasing lumens.
Broken Miatas Day
Coffee, Cars, Gamblers, Broken Parts and Brews. Good day with old friends and meeting new ones while wandering around Sacramento.
Overland Bound Miata
This adventure starts from failure. Perseverance succeeds and we are able to meander our way to Redmond Oregon for Overland Expo.
Great 2023 Baja Adventure
Your one stop shop for all the Baja details. We built, we went, we broke, we fixed and finally we survived.
BajaXL Day 6 - Los Cerritos
El Cerritos and Todos Santos, beaches and small town. Great times with great friends. A day to forget we have driven 1,500 miles in the last few days, cracked an oil pan and nearly ruined the car multiple times.
BajaXL Day 5- Las Cruces to Playa Los Cerritos
Vultures scoping out the Miata, hopeful for dinner. Not today bird!!
Making our final leg of the trip south, from town…to ocean…to Jurassic period. Very long day of good adventures.
BajaXL Day 4 - Bahia De Concepcion to Las Cruces
Being responsible? Mostly checking that she’ll keep going for the next week. Making new friends and having a chill day in Baja
BajaXL Day 3 - Bahia De Los Angeles to Bahia De Concepcion
A day of beaches, broken oil pans, broken Jeeps and very very long drives. This was likely one of the longest days of our journey.
BajaXL Day 2 - Diablo Canyon to Bahia De Los Angeles
San Felipe for breakfast after a morning sand bath. Leaving our very temporary home at Diablo Canyon. Another fun day off road and meeting more dogs.
BajaXL Day 1 - Tecate to Diablo Canyon
Finding police, tacos, dogs and sand. Our first day in the dirt and first time to enjoy new “long travel” suspension on the Miata.
BajaXL Day 0 - Traveling to De Anza Springs and Pre-Event Activities
Here we go as Team La Respuesta #82
Baja do your worst!!!!
The Great Baja Adventure Begins
The last post before we leave for Mexico!
Testing out the Miata upgrades with lots of new friends.
Why?….Rod do you knock on my door at the worst times.
Why do you come in here? This was supposed to be a happy Miata post…
Reverting from Hover to Wheels
Long travel suspension installed and ready for more pre-Baja testing. Moving from 1.5” of wheel travel to 4” of travel from static is gonna be awesome!
Hover Mode Enabled
Where we are going we don’t need wheels! Well maybe not. Okay most likely I’ll need them at some point.
Light Switches!
A post about Lando! Not really, he is just ready for our next miata off-road trip. This covers some little updates for Miata lighting.
SoCal Gambler (BajaXL Pre-Run)
Proving that Miata is still the answer at SoCal Gambler. Baja proving grounds.
