I will have another miata.

Indeed. It's a Miata thing. Non Miata drivers wouldn't get it ;)

I get to drive my parent's miata when I visit Lexington.
miata + country roads * good weather = epic win.

I am tolerant of all makes and models! :) The Miata was the fun small car before the Mini (of the current era), and it's still a different equation. A mild turbo application would be great on a Miata. I don't think it needs anything big to be even more fun.

Amen to that. I rememer you talking about their car before. Isn't it in really good condition with low miles, or some nonsense like that?

I was just messing w/ you and your username. :wink:

My mom's is a '97 miata w/ less than 50k miles (maybe closer to 40k). The exterior needs some TLC (as well as a nice body kit :twisted: ) but the car is in great shape.

Mine has scratches and dents here and there, but from 20 feet, it looks fine. The material that connects the roof to the middle interior support has come unglued recently. This may or may not have anything to do with opening the top at greater than 10mph...

You watch out, boy. When you least expect it, you'll be surrounded by a heard of Miatas. Although they're about as threatening as tic-tacs :lol:
