I bought a Miata.

[Philipio]

It happened. Suddenly... I have an urge to become a hairdresser. I'm not sure what's getting into me.

Just a couple with my phone while there was still some light. Forgive my shaky hands, I hadn't eaten in 13 hours.





I paid more than I wanted to originally but feel it's going to be worth it. I was planning on buying a cheaper, much worse condition car today until this popped up this morning.

[simmode1]

Ooooooh... nice. I want one. Congrats!

I know you track, so what are your plans for it?

[Jesda]

DAMN. That looks to be in near-perfect shape, WITH hard top!

[Philipio]

DD right now. I want to put less miles on my 240. I also want a car to have when I do a swap on my 240, though that will be fairly far off especially after buying this.

Honestly I just want to go crazy tomorrow and do suspension, wheels, turbo, but I must have control.

Jesda: There are some dings, a very small dent in the driver fender, and I could be wrong but don't think the car has factory paint, but overall, it's CLEAN. The car I was originally planning on buying wasn't nearly this clean. Black is my favorite car color and I LOVE hardtop Miatas. I'm loving it so far.

I wouldnt be able to track that thing, it looks brand new.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

That style bar needs to go...and can I have yo Hawdtop?

[Travisty]

I approve.

[MinisterofDOOM]

NICE! Looks to be in great shape. Very nice find.

[MellowZ32]

HARDTOP!!!!!!!!

[IBCoupe]

Now, does the rainbow bumper sticker come standard, or does one have to pay extra?

[MellowZ32]

[ProudNissanFreak]

Looks great from the outside! Get some interior pics!

[IBCoupe]

I got mine with two rainbow bumper stickers, 'cause I'm a stickler for symmetry.

two words.....


SPEC MIATA.

Nice find.

I'll probably get rid of the style bar soon. And NO, the hard top stays.

I know I know. There are plenty of spec Miata races around here. The closest road course is 40 minutes away too. They're basically bumper cars, I don't know if I can destroy this one like that, haha. I do highly enjoy track time but I just don't see myself being into competitive racing. I don't know if that would be the best route to go with the car in the future. It is very tempting to build one though. When the time comes, I'll put hard thought into it. I feel like I might get more enjoyment out of a built street car that's much better than a spec Miata car, on and off the track. Who knows.

If you choose to really mix it up, they can become bumper cars, yes. To keep costs down, I'd go Showroom Spec (like the link I posted) rather than Spec. If you wanna spend more money, there is the Improved Touring route, which also lets you use the same rules for CSP autocross.

Q - What's the hardest part of owning a Miata?
A - Telling your parents you're gay!

Just kidding. I bought a Miata about a month ago, and I love it.

[float_6969]

My wife has one. They're fun cars. I couldn't own one though as I'm too tall to comfortably drive it on any sort of regular basis.

[Philipio]

I'm 6'3". I only fit so well because I weigh 140.

[flohtingPoint]

[Koshin]

[captainfalco]

I'm the same height, but like 185-190. Ultimately I'd like a new wheel, but I fit just fine as is.

[Dano]

congrats! Looks really clean!
