How's everyone doin?! Haven't been here (or online much) in a long while. The wife and I have been preeeetty busy with life and,..stuff. Well I have the funds for a fun vehicle but on a tighter budget so I thought I'd buy a metrosexual car to show my true colors!



After sifting through (and test driving) Mr2's (again...), 240sx's, older Rx7's, and the like (insert: lightweight rwd sports car here) I've finally ventured into the wonderful (small) world of Miata's.



2000 black on black 5spd. Just put on this front lip (reminds me of the 99spec FD lip) and plan on doing suspension and rims over the summer. You can put together nice turbo/supercharger kit cheap for these cars but I may leave her be so an FD could be attained sooner than later.

I really like Miatas. Right up to where I have to sit in one, and then I just can't get past the fact that no matter how I adjust the seat, my head is above the top of the windshield.
