Bought a go cart today!

Well, actually it's a MX5 Miata. Not a lot of difference. 2001 base model with the suspension package. Two owners, ac works, passes emissions and only has 128k miles. Runs and drives out like a champ.
Got it for $2700! I'll keep it a few weeks and then move it on down the road.Attachment 48433

Top 5 Gay Lesbian LGBT Cars



5. Volkswagen Beetle

The fact that the VW Bug comes with a flower holder/vase thingy right next to the steering wheel says it all. We wonder what the moment looks like and feels like when a strait man buys this car and has to remove that little flower vase. It probably feels like a tampon is entering some type of orifice on their body. Interesting Fact: The odds of you finding a republican driving a bug is about 1 out of 10, as it has always been and always will be dominated by the bleeding heart liberal.





Fiat really does everything in their power to make their small and gay little car attractive to men. They tried to make a manly cool commercial with Charlie Sheen, but what they don’t realize is that nobody wants to be like Charlie Sheen. Even though the Fiat is one of the meanest and slickest looking of the tiny gay cars, it still looks very feminine and capsulish. Buyer beware, this car may help with parking and gas mileage, but it contributes nothing to your social life.


3. BMW Mini Cooper

Just imagine ladies, you meet a hot guy and everything is going great. You walk outside to his car and you are about to go back to his place to do the dirty, and he whips out his keys and there you are…standing in front of a Mini. If a car says a lot about a guy, then what does a Mini Cooper say? Just having to look at a guy all scrunched up in there is uncomfortable. If a manly vehicle to drive is a truck, then the Mini must be the exact opposite, the girliest. However, there are a couple models of gayness that beat this beauty out by a mile.



2. Smart Car (Smart Passion Cabriolet)

It might be smart for your pocket book and commute to work, but it is not smart for your sex life if you buy the Smart Car. Out of all of the little tiny cars, the Smart Passion Cabriolet has to take the bacon when it comes to the gayest looking one. Maybe it’s because it’s the smallest, or maybe because of it’s stubby little shape, but there is just something about this microscopic vehicle that makes you just want to stare at it and make you wonder what would happen if it were ever in a major collision.



1. Mazda Miata

The Mazda Miata is hands down the gayest car on the road today. There are probably makes and models that look the part a bit more, but for some reason the Miata holds a certain reputation that sets it in a league of its own. For whatever reason this splendid little dabbler has gained steam amongst females everywhere. Legend has it that when guys drive the Miata they become more emotional and have been known to do things that are absolutely illogical and crazy for no reason whatsoever.

markids77 10-25-2020 8:43am

Great looking ride. The driver's seat bolster is usually borked by 100k... perhaps this one was actually owned by a woman or small guy?

That looks awesome for the price. :thumbs: I had been looking around a little for one of my daughters, and I couldn't find any in that kind of condition at that price.

Miata.

Well; I guess you won't be needing this anymore...

Oddly enough they are all little cars. Just guessing your fat ass won't fit in any of them? Or is it just the gay thing you seem to always bring up?:rofl:
If you choose to live by stereotypes then all Vette owners would be fat, old, wearing a tropical shirt with gold chains and a toupee or combover.:dance:

I have owned well over two hundred cars of all types. Pick ups, SUVs, sports cars, musclecars, luxury cars, compacts and land yachts, bone stock and highly modified, beaters and show quality rides. I had a Road Runner that took Best In Class at the 1997 Walter P. Chrysler Southeast Regionals. This is either my fourth or fifth MX5. I have also had six Vettes, fifteen Camaros, six Firebirds, about a dozen Thunderbirds, and everything from Caddies to VW's. I like them all for different reasons. I have currently in the driveway the MX5, 1989 Dodge D100 (122k), 2001 Infiniti I30t (114k), 2010 Murano (180k), and two at the house in Florida, a 2000 Infiniti QX4 and a 2002 Nissan Quest. Over the years I've owned a handful of bikes, too, but gave them up after the second time an idiot pulled out in front of me and almost killed me. Never a boat though.
I will have this one a few weeks and then sell it for a tidy little profit to fund my next adventure.

It is a little depressed on the exit side but not too bad. Owner was about 5'10", average build so not a fatass.

I've had a few of them. Great drivers and killer gas mileage. I had a '90 with 86k and a Greddy Turbo! It was a fun car. Kept it three or four months. Actually sold it back to the sister of the person I bought it from.Attachment 48445

Attachment 48446

I don't really keep too many for very long but there have been a few I held onto. I've had the I30t almost three years. And I did buy the D100 for myself. Could have sold it many times already but it took me six months of looking to find a nice, clean old truck with low miles. I'll likely make a grand or so of this one when done.

I wouldn't have a hard time getting in a Miata. But knowing two fudge packers sat in those seats with soiled underwear and i'd probably get my ass kicked by a couple of truck driver i'd pass. As far as Vette owners being fat, old, wearing a tropical shirt with gold chains and a toupee or combover. That just about covers 75% of them.
You know you can get an optional small vase to put in your center council for some flowers for your loved one. :yesnod:

I don't buy that. He habitually denigrates whatever he chooses for what I can only feel is his own enjoyment. Much like Jeff whoever who stirs shit about the election and goes way over the line with sarcasm, the Dog comes across as simply mean for the sake of being mean. Not funny, and demeaning as hell.

My God we bust each others balls daily. Porter getting the worse of it. And markids77 has a melt down because i joked about a Miata? If you can't see that we daily bust each others balls continually with each other than don't respond if you get your feelings hurt, or better yet. Go to the other forum.

No melt down here, Bruh, I am secure in my manliness and wonder why you, Rikki and Steve R are so insecure you NEED to be asswipes. I suggest you all go "back there" if they will have you because this forum was a much nicer place before the influx of the banned.

Again with the gay thing? Maybe instead of trying to get into a Miata you should just come out of the closet.

I corrected your grammar errors. You may also want to try a "Hooked on Phonics" course or maybe a remedial English class. It would make you at least appear intelligent when trying to make an insult.

Oh, and the wife prefers live plants over dead cuttings.

Your mommie and daddy bought you your first cars? Awww, that's sweet. Just guessing you've always been petted.:)

I bought my own. It was a 1969 Camaro. Then I bought a 1967 Charger. Sold the Camaro. Then bought a 1967 Malibu. Sold the Charger. Then traded the Malibu in on a new Rally Sport. Then bought another 1969 Camaro. All this in junior and senior year of high school. I have been buying and selling since. Started this year with five cars, currently have six and sold nine in between.

My first car was a 1955 Chevy convertible i bought with my money in the 9th grade. I drove it without a learners permit until i got one at 15 1/2. Sold it and bought a Monza spider a POS. sold it and in the 11th grade bought a 1964 Plymouth Fury 383. Sold it my senior year when i got drafted. I worked for Corvette, Porsche, and Ferrari and retired in my 50's. I can't and won't tell you how many exotic sports cars i have had and drove. OBTW...I didn't have a dad. :yesnod: :cert:

Beautiful car. I've never invested in a race car. Started to a couple of times but they tend to be losing propositions.

Sold it and bought a Monza spider a POS. sold it and in the 11th grade bought a 1964 Plymouth Fury 383. Sold it my senior year when i got drafted. I worked for Corvette, Porsche, and Ferrari and retired in my 50's. I can't and won't tell you how many exotic sports cars i have had and drove. OBTW...I didn't have a dad. :yesnod: :cert:


It sounds like you've had a few nice rides on your own. So maybe you weren't petted as a child.
I've never bought exotics. Driven a few but not interested in owning one. I enjoy working on my own cars and being able to access and buy parts at a decent price.
Apologies for the Dad comment. Every boy should have a role model growing up. If I had known I wouldn't have went there, even jokingly. My bad.

Thanks but it doesn't bother me not having a dad. I learned to be street smart at a very early age. It almost killed me but it also helped me years later.

I worked for Irvine Central Motors in So. Cal in 1990. I remember we had a Lamborghini Miura we were asking 100k for. Now they're worth well over a million dollars. Irvine Mazda bought us out and i stayed with them for a year. They loaded up the lot with Miata's. Only had four colors. Red, Blue, Silver, and white. A great handling car back then with a short shift. They copied the British sports cars but with 100x more improvements. People were paying sticker and we were selling them before they got to the dealership. Unfortunately over the last 30 years they didn't do a whole lot with them. A little different design, a little more HP, and different colors. I just remember they could easily out handle a Corvette and just about everything else. The 101 HP was the only drawback. :yesnod:

I always heard them described as an MGB on steroids with ac!

The ones I have had have either been red or silver.

Hey, the 2001 has 142 bhp!

And see, a completely civil response from you. :hurray::clap:
Did it hurt just a little?:Jeff '79:
