I thought the lights were fine until I saw your modded picture.  Well played.

Exactly. He’s making a play for more money, but he’ll never unload that thing for any real money. Negotiate it when you pay close to his asking and he’ll throw it in.

Lol what’s this dude gonna do with the hard top after you buy the car from him?!  A BRG Miata hard top just sitting around?  Never will be able to get top dollar out of it and it’ll be a bulky pain in the ass.  If you pay at or near asking on this, you know he’ll throw in the hard top.

I try to avoid it as much as possible.

“I kept it compressed using a floor jack”

Let’s hear it guy.. what’s wrong?  Tell us how Donald was right all along.

show us your best picture!!

By chance have you ever tried a Corrado?  I’ve heard that tall people fit in those and I like the boxy yet sporty look of em.

Story of my life. I’m 6'3" or 6'4" depending on the day, about even ratio legs to torso... and it wasn’t even close. I was in a slick top non-targa (so “more” headroom), but my head was wedged to the side at almost 45 degrees to fit in there. Wasn’t gonna happen, no way no how.

Yeah 60s cars drive bad. Like really bad. Even when they’re operating as they were showroom-fresh. Same experience with my ‘68 Charger. It did everything bad! Except the looks. It looked damn good. And deep down in my heart I know I want another (better) one.

What gen? I drove a R34 in Japan and it was.. ok I guess? Plastic fantastic and boy racer. It was fastish? R32 looked the same.

No doubt.  Probably the CA and likely with the old dude hotel ensemble: white New Balance sneaks, white tube socks, pleated khaki shorts, woven leather belt, polo shirt tucked in.  Gets drunk at the hotel bar and goes nowhere else.  Will buy you a drink if you’re a new FO, but then you have to hang out with him.

Don’t meet your heroes or your hero cars.

Usually they leave it on after a cabin announcement or something (commonly called a “wafer” if they’re on the wrong freq/comm or generally just a stuck mic) and all the other pilots on that frequency get to make fun. Usually what you hear is pretty boring, but THIS is comedy gold. And I loathe the bay area just like…

It’s what he really wants, he should just wait and get it when he can.  It’ll drop like a rock in depreciation for sure.

I mean, yeah. It fits everything except that you’ll see tons of them.. way more than the Bronco.

How flat was the driveway? How tall were the 4x4s stacked? I’d be afraid of tipping and/or the jack failing.. but if it’s flat, tipping shouldn’t be an issue. A regular jackstand is like $30 though lol. People die from this shit all the time.
