So there it is. I admit leaving the 86 was a mistake. Before I picked up the 17 PP BRZ (my first brand new car!), I seriously considered an S2000 CR, or a very clean AP2, or an ND RF in white.
I could not find any s2000 CR in GPW for less than 35k in the nation, and no AP2 w/ black or all red interior nearby. Before I could even test drive the ND RF, my friends and family told me that I would probably just end up selling the miata and coming to the 86 anyway.

The 2017 face lift and performance package is so beautiful in every way. I've always been a fan of the first gen with the right mods or headlights/taillights, but I think the 2017 just looks so much more aggressive. the new headlights are mean looking, and the performance package is a bargain. This was a 2017 fresh off the truck, and it was 1.5 months away from the 2018s rolling out. I got it for a steal, and I'm very happy with the car so far. The shorter gearing also helps in making the car feel a bit quicker.


I went over to my friend's house (the red AP1 owner in the pictures) to get a full wash/clay/seal done to protect the paint to start the journey the right way. This time the car came with no dealer installed swirls, and I am determined to keep the paint in pristine condition.
