    Default Woohoo Miata again!

    Hi guys,

    I bought a 99 base yesterday! It's not pretty but should make a fun commute car. It was nice coming to work top down today.

    Yes. My plan as of now is to autocross the RX-8, and use the Miata as my daily. With new RX-8 selling at low 20s, the resale value sux on the 8.

    I'll give you 5 dollars for the RX-8 since they don't have very good resale value.

    Congrats on the Miata! Color?

    Color is Twilight Blue Mica. Right now it has some heavy chrome wheels on it. I will swap the civic's subzeros on it after I get an alignment.

    Nice color choice. I'm sure it'll look great with the subzeros.

    So I guess you're selling the civic.
