2007, 26k miles, 5 speed.

Finding a 6 speed with cloth was impossible, and after MrH told me that the 5 and 6 speeds have the same top gear ratio I stopped looking for 6 speeds.

Holy fuck! Good job, Rags!

Too bad it's not some non-Miata sports car, though. ;) :lol:

So what if I bought a Miata tomorrow? This forum is getting ridiculous with these things.

Congrats.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

So how did you convince your parents to get the Miata? I thought your parents (or your mom, at least) were overprotective about the cars you were considering.

A family friend of hers has one and she loved it and told me I should get one.

She wanted to get me the hardtop version but I vehemently refused that. :lol:

Yeah, I always assumed you'd end up with some crappy 10 year old American sedan. :lol:

Was this car a reward for something, or did they suddenly turn generous?

Pfffft! Hardtops are great, and the MX-5's is practically helium-filled.

I've enjoyed the NCs I've driven. They are easy to drive fast. It's easier to get a ticket with those than an NA!

That'll only happen if you join two Miata engines on a common crankshaft. This is MiataSPIN.

I drove an NA right after driving the MG once. Holy fuck, what a difference. The Miata so much more flingable.

"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

Close enough. The problem is that now they have you by the balls. "Do as we say or we take the Miata!"

Hopefully not. O_O
