No, I didn’t take up racing and emulate Clunk (or was it Thunk) by over or under cooking a corner and ending up off the pavement. I decided to change the oil in the Miata today, even though it has been less than 2,600 miles since I last did it. Normally I change it every 5,000 miles and it was changed not too long before we left Aiken, when I had Automotive Workbench do the 75,000 mile service. Trouble is that was over 8 months ago…
As I usually do when the oil is changed, I change the location of tires from front to back and vice versa. That is why “four wheels off”, they are off the car.
While they were off I succumbed to luxury car anal retentiveness and lined up the center cap logos with the valve stems…
