Is it possible to keep a turbo Miata running forever with good care?
Do you think it's possible to keep a turbo NB Miata (~250 whp) running forever if you keep replacing broken parts, don't abuse it, don't drive it in the snow, always park it in a garage and in general take really good care of it?

Herp derp

With enough money can keep anything running forever

Forever's a long time. Eventually our sun is going nova and the Earth will cease to exist. Maybe by then the OP's descendents will have put his Miata on an interstellar transport for safe-keeping. Of course, in the longer term, expansion of the universe is posited to cause stars, planets, atoms and even sub-atomic particles to disintegrate. Bottom line: It's all futile.

Just be sure to invest in a few bottles of Slick 50

Please help me understand this:
What does "keeping it running forever" has got to do with a) avoiding snow, and b) always parking the said car in a garage? Damn, I have a rod knock. Should have parked it in a garage, said no one. Ever. |
Today I realized that I'm very stupid.

100% yes as you described. Here is how you do it.

Every atom in my body has been replaced since my birth (and probably a few times since). Although a touch more decrepit, I still feel fundamentally the same. Perhaps there's a lesson in there somewhere.
