a little over 2 decades ago i learned to drive in my dad's NA8. my pops isn't a car guy... just a normal asian immigrant dad... but when he sold his M-Edition i remember him staring in to the distance with misty eyes.

fast forward a couple of decades and it's time for me to find a car that I can track that I won't be afraid of putting in to a wall. i've been taking my E90 M3 to the track and i had considered the E36 M3 and the venerable big miata (C5 Z06), but a track instructor had convinced me otherwise. the answer is always miata.

i just picked up a brilliant black '99 tonight, but in the short time i've been driving i realized i really missed the feeling of being so connected to a car. i'm going to be tearing out the insides and will have an order in to Moti tomorrow. looking forward to learning from you all.

mismatched wheels and old tint. bumpers and paint need some love but not too shabby.

put an order in with Moti this morning.

Not too shabby at all

My friends and I were looking at that exact NB on craigslist, but I guess you got to it first before any of us! Looking forward to see what you do with it.

i was refreshing BRZO for weeks and just happened to have been able to catch it as soon as it was posted (and a free afternoon the next day)
