Finally got my Miata!!!!!! *PICS INSIDE*

[Cristatus]

Nice pics. Can I ask for a bigger resolution? (1280 by something would be nice)

I like how you took the pictures.

Not bad. I'm 6'2" though... I couldn't fit in one of those things.

I guess that can be a way to put it. A good photo has a strong focus on the main subject with little to no distractions.

Congrats.

p.s. never knew you were a chick.

I don't get how a miata is a chick's car.. ok maybe the old one "looks" small, but the new ones look a lot more aggressive. However, few girls would enjoy driving a miata. Miatas are mostly stick shift, and girls can't talk on cell phones or put on makeup driving stick. Being built on an RX-7 platform, the miata provides a very harsh ride, but provides amazing handling.
Miatas' cost about $25k with all the bells and whistles including limited slip differentials. They provide 95% the performance of the Z4 for nearly half the cost! Now how is miata a crappy girl's ride and the Z4 a "cool sports car"? Oh yeah, you're too tough and macho to drive one. :roll:

no ur supposed to compare the miata to the Z3. the Z3 is a chicks car too. the Z4 is a mans car

Funny how you're complaining about one stereotype while simultaneously propagating another
I suggest you learn to deal with being called gay or jokes about driving a girly car, and just enjoy the car for what it is.

Girl stereotypes is what makes people think miata is a girl's car. So by arguing it's not a girl's car, one must argue that the stereotypes does not fit the application.
I don't care if people think it's a girl's car. They are just either too caught up with their macho image or ignorant to what the car is.
Miata kicks ass. nuff said.

um how are they different? What makes Z4 a man's car? The styling?
If that's true, the second/third gen miatas look far more manly than the 1st gen. I find the 1st gen a bit girly looking too.

The blur tool only works on small resolutions Otherwise it wouldn't do much blurring.
Check out the last pic of the gallery. It's 1200 width.

kool my firend hit a tree with that at 60 the car wraped around the tree not very safe so good luck

 

[wasssup]

Was this a private party sale?

I'm having an impossible time finding a good deal on a Miata..

 

[TRDGT]

Nice car, but please dump the "R Type" floor mats and some nice coco mats for it.
Just my .02

No car is safe when being rammed into a tree at 60mph.

Maybe when I get some money. They don't bother me much..

 

[AmdEmAll]

"Girly" looking or not, they are kick ass cars that dominate autocross and are very fun cars to drive. Also have a huge parts aftermarket. ****** all you insecure bitches that say its a girl car, obviously you havn't driven one.

 

[SampSon]

Less starving artist shots of the car and more straight up pictures.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

another convert

Pic1

When I first got it just under a year ago. 94 with 71k miles on it, 99% perfect condition. Top was never put up. Was driven by an older (now 64 year old) college prof who only drove it when it was nice out. $3895 private party.

lol wheelgap

I didn't want a convertible really...so I bought a hardtop

zoom zoom2

My mom's husband has had 911s, Maseratis, etc., it's hard to top the Miata in fun. I don't mind trashing around a $4k car at the limit and beating it down. The Miata can take a ton of punishment. No way would I drive a 100k car like I do this one.

I think Edmunds said it best with "If Mazda would let someone take one on a 24 hour test drive, they could sell every one of them on the lot" or something to that effect.

[mwtgg]

So when's the surgery?

 

[AdamSnow]

Would be a sweet car, if you'd take those "RACING" floor mats out...

 

[randomlinh]

damn, why hate on the angled pictures... I like to offset subjects.. heh.

Anyway, I'm flying out to CA and shipping a miata back home... I wanted a 2nd gen but they definitely go for more than 5k around here... not that I have the money anyway, too many things I'm finding myself I need to save for. It would make my auto-x days that much happier.

 

[ballmode]

I want one too. I haven't been able to find a miata that body style with 90k+ miles on it for less than 8k here in Indiana.

That's a steal

I beg to differ Phone or make-up or food in the left hand, shifting/holding steering wheel with the right.

But welcome to the club! I love miatas ... I've owned 3 of them so far (No I didn't wreck the previous ones to get the next ones )

 

[RallyMaster]

wow, nice price. drop a V8 into that mofo.

 

[GTaudiophile]

I have a Canon EFS 10-22 that can do F3.5 at 10mm. I wonder if that could produce a similar DoF.
