Hmm makes sense about those miles. You know how hard it is to get a low mile car from the 90s? Harder than it should be lol. 70k for a 96 is not bad tho.

These are just water testing posts to have a SURE idea on what to get in the upcoming future.

Thanks!

and The one I quoted is the one I'd go for. Part of the reason: google "miata rollover" and notice that most are flat. Basically without a roll cage you'll be slowing the car down with your teeth....Plus this one seems really well built. You picked good selections dude, I would drive this car, even though it's WAY too low for my taste. I actually love the color, I think the wheels would look even better if you painted them black when you get the car. Basically this would be a fucking sick summer car. This one for sure.

Haha! Thanks bro! Like I told Orb, these are just some testing and research for when I am ready for sure. Hopefully a nice 240 like this only with less miles lol

Or a miata is what I can get for a good price for a first real manual dd.

I just went back and read that thread. I didn't realize he was that guy. No.

Honestly I've always been worried about Al in suspension components. It just seems like a bad choice to me, but I don't have much of a materials background.

Girl Meets World set photos of Mr. Feeny, Eric, and Shawn are surreal.

I agree with this. You want to look for an unmolested Miata.

HOLY HELL YES. I may buy this if you don't....that looks awesome. Screw the fact that it has high miles.

I've always wanted an S14.

I can't believe I missed that post of his.

That S14 is really nice. I actually saw one at the grocery store the other day that looked stock, and it was in great condition. No rust from what I could see.

Stop posting and buy that.

NickD · 03-23-2013, 02:18 PM

Wow that S14 is clean!

speaking of 240's, I might finally have a buyer for mine.

Also, screw being at work, first customer of the day today: "When I plug in the charger for my GPS, a little lightning bolt comes up by the battery? What does that mean? Is that okay?"
