HRH Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 There's nothing wrong with a Miata. I still miss mine for the simple reliability and absolute go-kart handling. The one thing I didn't like was not having a backseat or a usable trunk. And I don't miss the goddamn hydraulic lifters making noise. That's the worst thing about those cars. Go figure in '99 they switched back to solid lifters. We just had a thread on this, but here's another picture of my old Mia. Did I mention I got more tickets in this car than the 510 ever dreamed of? Oh yeah, and f that Pontiac Solstice/Sky Roadster pos. 2900 pounds does NOT make a "domestic Miata" as some called it. It's absolutely huge. You can see when you park the two next to each other. 1 Quote Link to comment

Rob W. Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Did I mention I got more tickets in this car than the 510 ever dreamed of? Are you sure the cops didn't just figure anyone driving an old Datsun can't afford to pay a ticket?? I think the cops over here have mercy on folks driving old cars and go after new cars because the folks look like they can afford to pay the ticket. Just an unconfirmed theory I have. I looked at Wiki for the Miata apparently its German for Award they should of just called it the MX-5 sounds way better... Quote Link to comment

Jesse C. Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Miatas are ok with me, especially after I saw a Monster Miata run at our local track! http://www.monstermiata.com/ Quote Link to comment
fuzz's '71 510 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 :poke: Nothing wrong with one if that's all you can find, but Datsuns are so much cheaper :fu: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Theres the hondar s2000 Nissan 240sx vert... But those arent really like the old sportscars Well neither is the Vette now. lol Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hrh what rims are those? They're Lensos. PO put them on, I really liked them. 16" not too big, although driving around with nasty potholes can easily kill them with the 45 series on. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Miata sounds Italian to me. Solstice/Crossfire are North Am. May be fun to drive but only time will tell if they will become a 'sports car' as I understand the meaning. Sports Car: Must.... be rear wheel drive (very important!!!) 2 seater, convertible, (hard top allowed for winter use but frowned on) standard transmission, must stop faster than accelerate, must be easy to work on by home mechanic, handling takes precedence over straight line performance. 4 or 6 cylinder but 3 liter engine limit Should.... have minimal creature comforts, (no heated seats, air con, on star, gps etc.) horse power limited to 10 pounds vehicle weight per HP, affordable, (under $30,000, perhaps more if ABS, air bags were included) This prevents expensive and or high hp super cars from inclusion. It's the driving fun and not a dick measuring/how big is your wallet contest. Quote Link to comment
nowwhat Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Nothing wrong with one if that's all you can find, it was free broseidon so i was cheaper than a datto plus im going and looking at a z car later..... Quote Link to comment

nismo dr Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 buuuut, say you actually wanted to find the thread about the miata, where would you look? Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 true story, i worked at a shop for 6 years banking with the same bank, cashing my check every 2 weeks for 6 years. Never got more than usual courtesies, borrowed one of the service writers miata's to run to the bank and both girls working the drive up asked me if i wanted to come out to the bars with them after work......................

Javin Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I would rock a miata.:cool: Hell, I would rock a Pink Miata. :blink: Anything has to be better than rocking my GF's focus!:sick: They may look a little Femmie but they are quick; nimble; cheap; and as I understand it, easy to work on. Mob that miata! Take on a persona to go with it. Me, I think I would have a pirate Miata :pirate:. I would always talk like a pirate while in the car. Yeah... thats it!:thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Rob W. Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I guess a lot of pirates were probably gay seeing how they were alone on the ship with all those men... A Miata pirate is just right. Sorry couldn't resist. Quote Link to comment
