I'm glad that's your wife's car, or I'd have to worry about you then!

Its good its your wifes Bill. But I bet that car will consume you for its ability to handle itself and its snug fit. Enjoy it

The price is right! It's a cost effective way of increasing your gas mileage and pulling out onto a highway won't get you killed by the faster Kia in the right lane  .
Spec Miata, that's all I'm going to say. Oh, and congrats on the right wheel drive.

uh oh, i see another one of bill's "i am just gonna drive it the way it is" 10 thousand dollar projects brewing. lol
miata's handle nice. get a road dog bar for it to reduce teh cowl shake/flex and it will work a lot better.
before you get too far into pricey jap motor work you shoudl remeber that there are plenty of people who have swapped in 5.0 fords, 350sbc's, and the LS1 fits in there very nicely.

everybody makes fun of miatas for supposedly being fag cars, but i'd rock one any day of the week, case closed. i'm sure 9 of the 10 people who criticize them have never actually driven one.
i've had the privilege of driving a modified one numerous times, and it is stupid fun to drive. it doesn't take too much (weight reduction and bolt-ons) to make one quick in a straight line or around the twisties.
enjoy!
cheers,
Ryan

Would the person who is using Bill's screen name please stop making gay posts. Bill, if I find the guy who is making it seem as if you bought a miata, I'll personally choke him for trying to disgrace you.

k1's? translation please.
a lot of miata guys run roll bars and cages. usually bolt in made by a company called road dog. the older miata is a nice handling car with a lot fo cowl shake. lock it up a bit with a roll bar and they really start to shine.
