Because to some people, Miata's aren't gay enough

I think you are looking for the craigslist thread.

oldfart 07-02-2013 04:40 PM

Sorry. My bad. Won't happen again.

Hey, at least you copied the text and pics over rather than just posting the link. Otherwise it would have been even more useless in 1 week.

18psi 07-02-2013 05:06 PM

The cheaper our cars get, the more of this kind of stuff you're gonna see.

Its sad really.

Nice wheels...or hub caps?
What do they mean "salvage title due to spark plug issue"?
Dude seriously...Z3's are cheap. Why waste the amount of money it takes to make a Miata look like one when you can just buy one? That's like trying to make an escort look like a mustang...just go buy a mustang.

I thought I heard them all.
Boy was I wrong.

Obviously the spark plug was out of the cylinder, but still plugged into the plug wire, and he tried to start the car and the spark jumped to the fuel rail and started a fire. duh.

NA6C-Guy 07-02-2013 09:10 PM

It's not like the Z3 is a beautiful, rare, or otherwise worthy car of copying. So that makes the conversion even more retarded. Hey look! I made my 23 year old $3000 car look like a 18 year old $5000 car! That looks worse!

Der_Idiot 07-05-2013 02:50 PM

But! BMW!

pdexta 07-05-2013 02:59 PM

While I certainly can't understand why the hell someone would do that, I'm impressed with how well they pulled it off. It had to take considerable time, effort, money, and skill to put something like this together.

If it were a z4 maybe.. Those things actually look alright once your eyes adapt.

miata2fast 07-06-2013 10:52 PM

Man has mad tacky skills.

Opti 07-07-2013 02:25 PM

What aggravates me more than this ugly but well executed "BMW body kit," is the fact that no one takes the time to vacuum their damn car before they put for sale pics up.
