You sir, are correct. Seems like everyone you saw was red/black/black. It's funny you say that, when I was typing my reply I thought the same thing. "My Miata"... red black black. Yeah buddy, you couldn't swing a dead cat and not hit a red Miata. lmao

Oh, and it's hardly "showroom quality" or whatever he tries to lead off the ad with. Scratches, dented fender, plastic rear window with bad spots, tires are dry rotted (along with most of the other rubber I'm sure) all to hell AND... what's this bullshit about "I only pulled the plugs and put marvel mystery oil in…

That is SO cool. I remember when those came out, my wife and I were just recently married, no kids and we wanted one of them so bad. Of course they were ALL priced with "ADP" on the sticker for thousands over MSRP sooooo, no Miata for us. I refused to pay over sticker. This car is probably the result of some…

Words of wisdom right there. Which was the point of Patrick's article. It's all about the sound.

Hey I did the same thing as a kid. Lmao. Maybe that's what it is now, karma biting me in the ass for the sins of the 6 year old me. Hehehehe

Exactly, nothing better than a lightly trafficked "driving road". Preach it brother!

Hey, don't get your panties in a wad, I wasn't insulting you OR "your car" if you drive one. Hell, I like 'em. I liked them new and I like them more now for the value they bring to the table. But, like them or not, they flopped. Period. Did they flop because of styling? Seems to be the popular consensus. I…

There are a lot of fleeting moments everyday that give me pause to realize all that I have and that I shouldn't be bitching about things that absolutely don't matter. Thanks for pointing that out... For most of us.

OH I'm sure my neighbors have pleeeeentyyyyyy of reasons to hate my crazy ass, but the exhaust mods? Nah. I'm pretty easy on the throttle whether it's in my neighborhood or anyone else's. I'm funny that way.

I have to agree with you, not flame you. You're right. Yeah, it had great underpinnings but that just wasn't enough to offset the "my secretary probably drives this car" styling... and I use the term "styling" loosely. It was bland.

I must concur with PG. Which, not coincidentally, is why an exhaust mod is almost always the first mod I make on my cars.

Well, I was going with my air-drums, but that's my point exactly. How you while away the seconds at an intersection is YOUR BUSINESS! No one needs to be peering into your inner sanctum.

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or insult! So, I choose it to be a compliment. Hey, I just like my privacy. Jammin out a little air-drum at a stoplight is my God given right as a driver. Window tinting on the side windows provides sufficient privacy from that angle, but from head on? Look away.. look away!

No doubt. If this were posted on Gawker there's already be a dozen or so posts pointing out it's underlying shame for centuries of "white privilege" (although I'm only mid-40's) manifesting itself as guilt in the present. That's why I try and stick to Jalop. *thumbsup*

The only problem I have with the original design is the rear facing seats. Here in South Texas it's not at all unusual to see a couple day-laborers sitting in the bed of a pickup going down the road in town (or on the highway for that matter but I'll explain...). Inevitably, I pull up behind that truck at a…

I love these types of posts. The parents tell the non-parents they don't have a fucking clue till they have kids. The non-parents tell the parents, they know how to do it better. Occasionally a 16 year old will chime in with what they KNOW to be unique insights into the world that will change things for ever. If…

No love for the Dodge Omni GLH-S? I had one of these back in the 80's. Talk about your original "hot hatch". That little car would MOVE (for the 80's). No, I don't want to talk about the 4 doors, quality or anything else. It was fast. Shut up.

All I can say is I'm glad I drive on roads that are approximately 1500 miles away from this kid's car so I'm unlikely to be the victim when that abortion he's driving eventually suffers a catastrophic suspension failure and goes merrily careening into innocent bystander(s).

This. Should never been seen in public. And, you know, I'm pretty "live and let live" about other's "fashion choices".

I definitely see the points you're making but I suppose, again, it all goes back to what is the "norm" for you. Having grown up in Texas both riding and driving, I'm used to seeing bikes and knowing exactly where they are (or making sure I'm seen by vehicle (car and truck) traffic, and then remaining there. When I…
