Nice, is this for your track plans or just that urge for something new?
Wow you really did have "New car fever"!
So what do you think of the NC??
Great color Choice!

Nice and welcome to the darkside.
I say that since NBP means Nighthawk Black Pearl.
Very nice!!
Sweet!
Will this be the new race car?
Sweet, I was not aware that you were shopping for a 4x4 ;)

Nah! I have plenty of them in the barn...... I've got to be a little more realistic about running Pro, for now. I have not had near enough track time for four years now, and attempting Pro isn't the place to get my skills back up. Club racing and time at the Rnach will be much better to get the seat time I will need, not to mention much more economical.Quote:

BTW, if anyone is interested in a 2006 red Speed6 at a good price, call Greg at Town North.....$21,995. I did even better on Midnight ;)
Want to form a racing team? I'm calling mine TeamArcadecomponents and have registered the website. I figured on putting my side biz name on the car in vinyl just for grins.Quote:

Seems that it was purchased and parked in a garage, wasn't being paid for nor being insured, and the credit union reposessed it. They wholesale'd it to the Sewell Ford/Lincoln/Mecury dealership, who was just getting into Internet sales. There were three bidders that would have paid $17 for it(including me), but I had been in contact with them from the time the car came up for bid and we had a good raport going, since they knew nothing about Miatas, and.....well.....I know a little bit! In an effort to get good sales and positive responses, they gave me first dibs on it and felt I would give them good feedback, which I definitely will. The other two bidders were just re-sellers and ya never know with them. They're just in it for the money. I got it for a little over $4000 under "S" Plan.Quote:

Good thing to do.....especially if you're making any money. Can you say "deductions"????? My business is MerGyver Motorsports. I've had that for several years. Even have this Licesne plate for Midnight: MRGYVRQuote:

Is this a Sport, or not??? It says 5-speed in the ad, but the Sport came with a 6-speed in 2006.
That was one of my concerns when I first started looking at it. 17" wheels and a 5-speed? Never been such an animal, even though I liked the idea. I finally got a copy of the REAL dealer invoice and it shows MX5 SP 6P. As I said, they didn't know much about the car. He also verifed it was a 6-speed, and if you look closely at the picture of the interior you can see it on the shift knob. It's a zero option car, so it doesn't have the sport suspension, but I prefer something a little better than non-adjustable bilsteins ;)Quote:

Congrats Merv! So will you sell anything? I really like the NC after it's lowered.
Merv's got room for at least another 17 Miatas...Quote:

Nice looking car, I love the color. I want to paint my car black.
I have some Krylon and a huff bag if you want to borrow them.
BTW Merv, Congrats on the new baby:clap:
Taking things away from students again? Or did they teach you how to make a huff bag?Quote:
