President’s Message – May 2026

Hello, Cape Fear Miata Club Family!

Is there anything better than May in North Carolina? The pollen is finally settling, the azaleas have done their thing, and the coastal air is hitting that “just right” temperature. If you haven’t dropped the top and headed toward the breeze lately, let this be your official reminder to grab your keys and go.

April was a fantastic month for us. Our coffee socials continue to draw many members, and the Lions Club Poker Run reminded me why this club is so special. It’s not just about cars, though a line of Miatas snaking down our local roads is a beautiful sight—it’s about the people in the seats.

Looking down the road as we cruise into May we have our regularly scheduled Monthly Coffee Social on May 16 at Panera Bread. As this is mostly a social event where we often tend to catch up with one and another and reflect on past club events, we also have the opportunity to discuss new club activity possibilities. So please bring your appetite, your best road trip stories and fresh ideas.

Take a look at the two trips planned for May and June in the Upcoming Events column. We will be going to Yoders Dutch Pantry and CSS Neuse Museum on May 7th. June 13th is the Beach, Brew and Cue trip.

Let us make the most of this beautiful May weather. Stay safe, keep the shiny side up, and I will see you at the next bend in the road!

Zoom-Zoom!

Paul Reinmann

President’s Message – February 2025

Hi CFMC Members – If you are like me, you are probably ready to say goodbye to the cold weather and start enjoying some more friendly convertible weather. Driving around today (January 29th), I saw several cars with their tops down – a clear sign that people want to be out enjoying motoring in warmer…
