Default $75k miata....again

Hasn't this piece of **** been around for years? I remember seeing it on FM's site once before. I also remember once before that the wheels were actually dipped in gold or some ****. $75k....? I say BS x 10.

75K is likely low! I hear that purple anodized charge pipes run $400 an inch. The "roll bar", guaranteed to fold in 1/2 in event of an accident, was another $5500 since it's made of an extremely rare titanium, plutonium alloy. Most important is the highly absorbent cherokee hair floor mats.

Maybe he meant $7500. What's an extra 0 between friends?

I bet the wood trim around the radio and shifter cost a pretty penny, too.

If he spent 75,000$ on that, hes a complete and total ******* moron. I dont see ANY way possible to spend that much with what I see in pictures... Unless he spent 60,000 for that "roll bar" mousetrap piece of ****.

That thing has been making the classified "rounds" for about 10 years now. It was on the FM website for about 5 years, and it pops up randomly in very strange places on the internet "for sale".

There are a couple of past threads floating around here about it.

Here is one of those things in life I just do not get... again. Why would you spend $75000 on your miata? And why is it still ugly? I am confused...

I dont know guys, Do you realize how much work was done to make it 15 valves over the normal 16 valves. I just can't imagine the increased performance

If that's the case then this must be some deadbeat ebay **** trying to pull one over on someone. Maybe I'll bid $75,000 and then at the last second...I'll retract my bid. My reason for retracting will be that my dog must have walked across the keyboard or something...
