miata of the month is cool when its like a spec miata or some other racing car, or even a poorly styled car but lots of hands on work, but the guy who bought it brand new in 89 and kept it doesnt really seem like that big of an accomplishment to me.

Well, yeah, having the 4x4 look AND 17" wheels certainly does make things worse.
But, the Miata has a very short body, when viewed in profile. It just doesn't lend itself to tall wheels; they make it look all out of proportion and "catty-wompuss." In fact, the 240SX is another car like this. It's got a very slim silhouette that looks like a stagecoach with 17" or greater wheels.
