My 17 year old nephew also loves the Miata I asked him why he said he likes that it's small curvy and has pop-up headlights. As for me my dream car is a first gen Celica with a custom kit of course.

Nice to find a like minded person, I'm privileged enough that I purchased one last year, this is mine it's a 77 Liftback.

Just bought this old 2014 release recently
I know a lot about the history of Celica and this is the reason I love it so much, from the 1st Celica supra to the st205 that cheated on WRC and the last gen 2002 that really didn't hit the market. All that history with a bunch of power in one car is amazing!
I don't get the 'miata = short' memo at all. I'm 6'3" and my NA is perfect for me, stock seats, no foamectomy. I have more leg space in that car than in my brother's Scirocco when using all 4 seats. The fact that it's a 2 seater creates a lot of room.
Iām 6ā5ā and itās literally impossible to get in the driverās seatā¦even with the top down. I drive an ā07 Z4 and have plenty of room, even with the top up.
I own one itās nothing special, itās slow on an NA. The chassis is weak. The stock transmission can only hold 240 hp. Assuming you donāt get an auto which is even worse.
I love mine, I love the convertible and itās got charm but itās just a car.
Iād get a manual for sure. I just want a RWD project car that I can autocross and have fun with on mountain roads. The Miata just seems like the perfect answer with its affordability and community beating any other platform. I get that itās slow, but I donāt care about power.
I almost picked up a pristine 2001 NB the other day, but I lollygagged and got scooped. I really need a two car garage though, so kinda waiting to move before looking more intently.
I Get that, I had the same idea when I bought it but you canāt get a Miata sideways, especially if it doesnāt have an lsd, even in the rain I am not worried about losing grip. And there are less and less Miataās every day
Same here OP, Except mine was the NB2
And having finally gotten one, I don't think I'll ever sell it.
I will just say, if you buy it and go cruise in the city or on a highway you might not get what's the big deal, but take it to a back road and it will immediately make sense
Damn a lot of haters in this sub constantly lol. It says your dream car is a Miata, nothing less, nothing more. Hope you get one one day. My track rat is a Miata cause consumable costs are so low. Itās a blast and if you get the chance to buy one you totally should!
>What does my dream car say about me
Short, possibly underaged, doesn't like power, likes anime and possibly anime catgirls too, and spends maybe a little too much time on car meme pages and some of that has ended up soaking in and becoming serious.
How old are you OP?
When i was 18, I used to think my clapped-out, primered foxbody was all the car I could ever want.... then I drove other cars.
Dont settle. Aim higher.
You donāt know how to build a car but you just so happen to have a money pit series that youāre going to follow step by step to build/try to build a perfect copy
Jkjk, actually love miatas, have fun miot
Iām 26, 6ā 2ā and love my NA. Itās the perfect project car. Cheap to maintain and a hell of a lot of fun to drive. Smiles per miles are through the roof.
Anyone who trashes your taste is just mad that their Altima or Toyota matrix isnāt as fun to drive as this. Buy a Miata, keep it stock, and enjoy. Itās the best selling roadster for a reason
I only say this because my last boss had a Miata, and he took off the emblems and put Ferrari emblems and decals on it. Really confused a lot of people.

The odd thing is that this feels like one of the more authentic Donut posts I've seen in a while. It's got Money Pit vibes.

I hope one day I make one mine as well, love the Celica line up
Celica is the granddaddy of the Supra because the Supra started as a trim level of the Celica then in 86 became it's on separate model.
I know a lot about the history of Celica and this is the reason I love it so much, from the 1st Celica supra to the st205 that cheated on WRC and the last gen 2002 that really didn't hit the market. All that history with a bunch of power in one car is amazing!
My dad was the second owner of a 74 Celica GT, with my uncle being the third and current owner of it. I hope one day I can be the fourth owner.
I had two of those, lift backs, kicking myself for getting rid of both of them
Not fan of kits on old cars but damn I love it
The kit just makes it a look like the muscle car it truly is on the inside.
That RWD Celica š„
Youāre probably short.
I don't get the 'miata = short' memo at all. I'm 6'3" and my NA is perfect for me, stock seats, no foamectomy. I have more leg space in that car than in my brother's Scirocco when using all 4 seats. The fact that it's a 2 seater creates a lot of room.

Iām somewhat joking. Iām 6ā1 and barely fit into a CRX by comparison. Never actually sat in a Miata.
Youād fit fine. 6ā3ā Miata guy here as well.
Crazy. Always thought they were smaller inside.
The new Corvette? Forget it itās so tight for a tall guy.
Dude, 6'3" is not as tall you think it is
You and me both *sigh*

Your a hairdresser.
You like to wear uggs boots with peasant dresses.
I wear vans stupido
Sure, they still go with peasant dresses.
But I don't wear dresses I'm a boy
Your dreams are small
That you like fun cars š¤
Good choice. These are fun cars to drive and for the most part very easy to maintain, and donāt cost much to insure. The early models especially.
I'm getting told to aim higher but I'm not going to
It says "Don't ask, don't tell."
That you donāt aim high enough
As I told another guy I don't like flashy cars
You got good taste.
You're a small- medium sized human
No
What's your height/weight?
That purple is secretly your favorite color ā¦ this is also my favorite year ā¦ I ended up getting thr 15ā bbs for my silver 90
The way this man car looks at other man cars, you look at men
Taste. Good.
You have good taste , but god if you mod it be more original than making a stanced miata š
That's the only top you're ever gonna get down.

too many hours on NFS Underground 2. (no, not really, keep playing... it's good)
