I'm so happy I found a miata!

Nick Connite · 05-16-2012, 02:54 PM

So just got my first Miata! Sold my moded 02 Mustang GT because it got 14mpg to get a new car and a motorcycle (fuel efficiency in mind)..I drove my buddies stanced Miata and completely fell in love! It was then i decided i needed to have one. I spent weeks taking the bus and looking everywhere and was finally able to grab a mechanically stock Montego Blue 94 m-edition (LSD!!!) with 140k.. and heres where it gets good its came with a full harddog roll cage, NB soft top with rear defog and a Mahogany Nardi wheel and e-brake lever and i only paid $1900 for everything. needless to say im extremely happy. and just for comparison it is more fun to drive than my old 300+ horsepower mustang.

i have a bunch of plans for her and have already made a side mount license plate mount, scratch removed everything i could and hand waxed it from top to bottom.

It was on the seattle craigslist it was tagged as an mx5 there was no picture in the ad and not once was the word "miata" mentioned so im guessing nobody found it. I called him he sent me pictures and i got it two days later. Needs breaks and has a bit of damage on the drivers door but isn't obvious from 10 feet away. the guy really didn't know what he had and really needed money.
