Gotta MX5 Miata!
 
Yeah, all you haters laugh all you want. This lil' sucker is a blast to drive! Starlight silver with a body kit, 5 speed, never hit or smoked in, 150k miles, and I got it for $4k cash!

I must admit, that looks like a lot of fun for $4k.

Dude, from now on, just say "silver". The car is gay enough on its own, no need to queer it up any further.

I hope he bought the car for his wife :yesnod:

Nice ride...I suppose. I hear they are pretty fun in the twisties. But I'm with Apex...just call it Silver for now on...



At least the 4-5K I am looking to drop will be on a v8:leaving:

Possibly the only silver car that shouldn't have a Raider sticker on it.

Sea Six 04-09-2012 8:09pm

Oh, and

Cool little cars. Great handling, too small for my big ass. I'm with Apex. It's SILVER.

Keep your sparkly stars for the man-bar. :cert:

I'll drop that much $$$ on another racing Kart one of these days (probably after I win the mega-millions).

What year is that car?

Maybe, but I bet it's got one of these...

Looks to be in and around the '99 generation.

I will say, of all the sports cars that go up The Dragon, the Miata guys seem to have the most fun, them and the S2000 guys.

STELLAR cars. Very fast at the track. In fact, one of my closest rivals just WON the Dixie National Tour in the STR class in a '99 Miata. OUTCLASSED is an understatement. The S2000's rule the roost in this class. Darrin and David are Aliens. They finished 1st and 4th in that goofy '99 miata in a class of 24 drivers. We're talking the best of the best from across the country. That car still has legs. :yesnod:

Highest smiles-per-gallon car in its class.

Last weekend's PAX results:

Pax Time Results, #4 - 2012-04-01 Event 4 - Invalid DateTime

'99 Miata was 5th and 6th overall with 85 drivers. It was a fast track, and they were on street tires, not race rubber. I'm usually 1 or 2 in Pax and Raw. This was a tough track for the Corvette. Regardless, they were right there in Pax. :yesnod:

2001 model. Starlight is a metallic color. You can call it gay all you want. 30 mpg, fantastic handling, and I can get an easy grand over what I paid after I drive it all summer.

List it as "starlight" and you'll have the LBGT crowd banging down your door within seconds to buy that.

BADRACR1 04-09-2012 8:52pm

Ain't nobody bangin' on my door, Miata or not!:dance:



I figure I'll drive it for the summer and then sell it. I usually don't keep any car long. This is number 152 on the list!
