How we're prepping our Miata for Radwood | Garage Rescue Miata

We’d had fun showing our 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera this year at the Radwood events at The Amelia and Lake Mirror Concours, so do we think about submitting our Garage Rescue Miata?

PS: Also, you won't see my ALF plush since ALF didn't debut until 1986.

Located. :)

And that trailer hitch represents some some real GRM history. I'll get something written up shortly.
