Miata Turbo Forum - Boost cars, acquire cats.

Yep. Hi, I'm Yin.

After my dad decided against me purchasing a Porsche 911T shell, I looked at another option that I longed for--the NA Miata. Even while being the Porschephile I am, I gotta admit that it was silly of me to even think about a Porsche.

Much to the benefit of my parents' pockets and the insurance payments, I've decided to start looking for an NA Miata, which, I still haven't found a decent one nearby to look at. Upon telling them that I was interested in an older model Miata, my parents pretty much laughed that I was going to drive a 'girly car'. "Watch," I said, "it's going to be manlier than growing a beard and peeing while standing" as they laughed and mocked at my insitence.

And that's why I'm here. Turning 18 real soon, and having saved up quite a bit while doing the mundane overtime, I've come to ask for help and general consolation as I dream of the forthcoming countless nights where I will probably rage over the simplest of things to go wrong with my future whip.

Oh, and I'm 6' 3". Let the raging begin.

P.S. And by manly, I don't mean "letz put sum lambo doors on dis ride". No. I'm all about function. Hence, why I have an obsessive interest in racing. Specifically the Super Lap Battles that happen nearby at Buttonwillow Raceway, and Formula D. c:
