Default Gross.

I purchased this from a slightly effeminate guy that does hair on weekends. Not even joking.

Are we excited?

Is this the one that was on craigslist for almost two months? I considered it myself, but realized my hands are already full with my current piece of ****.

Most recent ad was 25ish days old. He's had it for sale since October though. Everyone flaked. Dunno if his price was higher then or what, but this thing was a steal and a half.

It's ugly, but worth the price in mechanicals alone.

Look here, hater. It's got a clean title and i drove it home under its own power. 6spd shifts awesome, brakes are fucked up and terrifying, and it does awesome burnouts.

I couldn't take on a 3rd either, so this came as a result of selling the red turbo car. (Cue gnashing of teeth.)

Figured i'd be next in the long line of turbo miata owners that move to an n/a track car.


And Vlad, before you complain, i got your logs.
