With gas prices going up I might have to give up my love for performance cars.... Or at the very least not use one for a daily driver. I might just say f-it and and mainly use a motorcycle for my performance needs. That would give me a chance to make an itasha bike anyhow.

Do it. Or buy a Miata. What? It's a sports car, really. But yeah... weird stares.

[KnoxSe7eN]

I keep getting e-mails from a Jamie asking for some no strings fun........... Miata...... Jamie..... How did you get my e-mail? j/k well I really have been getting some spam from a Jamie lol

I looked for a Miata for a while and almost got a great deal on one that had a rare paint job. But the girl sold it right before I got there

Hey, I drove a little over 200 miles to get mine. It's worth it to extend your search a bit. And hey, You're further inland, so you have a larger search area than I do.

That is one downside to living on the coast. Kind of a bitch to have your search radius limited like that.

I will say this, if you do look for one again, and want a LSD, don't get an '89-'93. Even if the car came equipped with one from the factory, it's probably worn out. The '89-'93 cars had a viscous type diff, and chances are after all these years, it's toast. Just another open diff. The '94 and up cars got a Torsen diff if ordered with a LSD.

Quickest way to find out if a Miata has an LSD, is to call Mazda of America and ask nicely.

Just give them the VIN and they should be able to tell you everything about the car's build.

But for the '94-'97 cars, from everything I've read about them is that if it has leather, it has the LSD. But don't hold me to that. Power windows and a power antenna are also clues that says the car might have an LSD.

A lot of people say you don't need an LSD in a Miata. Maybe that's true, but fuck it, I want my damn LSD.

Oh, and you were probably looking at an M Edition, Knox. Those cars are fucking bitchin'.

[KnoxSe7eN]

Afraid not...... well I didn't get the car so hell if I care haha

It was just a standard Miata but it was Laguna Blue. I have heard that is a fairly rare color.

[Jamie]

Ah, yeah, that is kind of rare. I would have loved a blue Miata. But while I liked the Montego Blue, I just didn't dig it enough. I wouldn't have minded having Mariner Blue (Smurf blue) car, but that was only on the 1.6 cars. And I couldn't find a single fucking Laguna Blue car near me. And if I would have, chance are my strict requirement would have kept me from getting it.

I was more concerned with option than the color. Except I didn't want a fucking green car. I rarely like green on cars. And it's got to be something amazing too. Like that neon looking green on the Murcielago. I'd shoot a baby for one of those cars.

[KnoxSe7eN]

I might get a stupid little scooter to putt around on if I can find a 50cc 2 stroke cheap enough. I should make that itasha rofl

[Jamie]

Sure, why not, shouldn't take more than 3 stickers.
