I'm moving next week and had to pick up some boxes. 18 in fact. They all fit in the Miata...

...sorta.













It was an exciting drive home.

 

Fix your e-brake

 

I wish I could find the picture I took when I had a sofa strapped to the back of my '90.

 

Whats wrong with the ebrake? Too far up?

 

What's wrong with my e-brake? It functions fine, calipers are adjusted, no slack in cable, etc.

 

He's Canadian, pay no attention to him.

 

Get back to me when you have removed the passenger seat and have a dressed motor in the passenger section. Not that I have done this. I have two trucks so I have no need for such shenanigans but I have seen it done.

 

No motor in the pax area right now, although I did recently carry a transmission there.

This is what my car looks like at the moment:



It usually has one or two more pieces attached.

 

How to carry a mountain bike in a Miata.

Step 1: Put mountain bike in Miata.



Step 2: Drive.


Harbor Freight nylon straps FTW. These are probably the single most useful thing I have ever purchased. Perfectly stable at 75 MPH.

 

ITT: Joe installs a roll bar in his Miata with HF straps.

 

I will eat a bowl of cat penises before I put a rollbar in my car.

 

Took home a 21 Gallon floor standing air compressor in the passenger seat. Wouldn't have fit standing up in most other cars!

 

When I have to buy a few 10' 2x4s, I take the miata to Home Depot instead of my outback because long boards don't fit in the wagon. Practical my ***.

 

I've hauled a kayak + paddle standing upright in the passenger's seat, 100 miles, at 80mph.

 

Odd question, but why dont you have a trunk?

 

I once climbed into my Miata on the way home from school with 20 party ballons...top up. It was my daughter's second birthday and I wasn't going to dissappoint.

The only one that popped was the one right next to my eardrum.

 

To whom is that question meant to be addressed?

 

Asks the man without a trunklid...

 

Well, that's why I was wondering. It's pretty damned obvious that I have a trunk- you can see it through the gaping hole which, on most miatas, is covered by a large, heavy lid.

You might as well ask "Why don't you have a top" or "Why don't you have a large wooden crate containing 500 lbs of cast-iron ****** strapped to the hood?"

 

So, Joe, why don't you have a large wooden crate containing 500 lbs of cast-iron ****** strapped to the hood exactly again?!?
