Resistance is futile.  Miata clan, assemble!

You know what the amazing thing about that photo is?

There's no Camry in the background! 

[Secret Chimp]

The Brummerhood grows stronger. Though the truest bloods remain the same...

[Submariner]

It's like Meat Spin, except slightly more homosexual!

[Cookie Monster]

Congrats dude!

[Laconian]

Yay! Gorgeous car! You done good.

[Submariner]

That's a nice looking ride - I really love the black and tan interior combo, too.

[Laconian]

Way better than a Tacoma.

[MrH]

Thanks guys.  I love it so far.

Bought it about 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh.  I drove the whole way there in my roommate's Taurus, bought the thing, then drove back with the Miata.  Definitely not the best car for cross country trips, but it's hands down the most fun thing to drive around in my price range.  I drove something like 10 hours yesterday, so I'm pretty drained.

It's a 2008, 21k miles, Grand Touring trim level with the premium package, sports suspension package, and appearance package.  I think every option might be checked.  That means, heated leather seats, cloth (instead of vinyl) top, Bose audio (with satellite radio that still has some life on it's subscription!), 6-speed, keyless ignition (straight up bad-ass Bond style), Xenon headlights, stability control, LSD, and some shitty sport springs and shocks.

It MSRP'd for over $30k I think, and I got it for $16,600 + tax and title.  I thought that was a screaming deal, considering carmax was really the only way to get similar year, options, and mileage, and those were all around $20,000.

Congrats man!

[Raza]

Looks great! (From that angle)

Alright, time for springs, shocks, and a supercharger.  Get on it.

Looks good, Mike....... classic "british racing green" suits it, too.

I just know you are going to enjoy this new car more than somewhat..... if I didn't have my Abarth, I'd even be jealous!!

[Rupert]

Nice!

[MrH]

So now we got

NA:
Chimp
White Kevin
possibly Rupert soon?
Nick may have bought one?

NB:
Rich
Maybe GT Charlie soon?

NC:
Me

Supercharger is like 5 grand.  That's not happening.

Springs, shocks, and sway bars are very plausible soon.  I thought you were getting new suspension shit for the Jetta?

[2o6]

Looks great! Congrats!

[hotrodalex]

I saw a red NC yesterday that I wanted badly. Won't happen though, since The Road isn't even halfway finished.

Add E-Type John to the NA list, and there was also the Joker who had one but he hasn't been around...

[heelntoe]

MOAR PICS!!!

She looks beautiful.

My NB is still 1-2 years away.

Also, Onslaught and etypeJohn both have NAs. According to the "What we drive thread," so does some member called "flipside," but he only has two posts.

I'm actually about ready to buy that 944 from a couple of weeks ago. Just needs a mechanic's inspection on Monday.

[ChrisV]

Very nice! One of the cleanest MGB's I've seen...

oops...   

Congrats!

I am.  Last month was very expensive, so I'm giving myself a month cushion before I make another large purchase.  Once this CC billing cycle closes, I'm ordering it.

Cough..... cough......

As for the NC, NICE. My brother has a NC like that in a different color and I like driving it around. When he sells it for a Lotus I'm thinking about picking it up sometime.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Nice color combo!

Can't be, The oils in the car and not on the ground under it.

You should get that cough looked at.

Nice car, I shopped them for awhile. Everyone around here wanted WAYYYY too much money for them.

[Onslaught]

They cost too much but I think a NC with a Removable hard top on it looks great. For the winter anyway.

[the Teuton]

So, uh, I'm going to spam your thread. I need those pics of anything car or Deutschland you have, Mike. You know the drill.
