New addition to the stable
As some of you may know, there was a recent ad in the classified section offering a '99 Miata for the bargan basement price of $2,100. I was lucky enough to respond first. Despite the efforts of some to snipe it away (very uncool IMO) and big thanks to moderator Dave04 for locking down the thread before more asshattery/ugliness occured, I was able to change my weekend plans and bring her home early. On the plus side, I now have a smaller choice of vendors to narrow down my suspension purchase :D
The seller "Grandpa Mark" was/is a true gentelman and major class act. He realized he priced it too low, but stood by his word. He was only looking to recoup his investment in the past year (many new parts) The vehicle was as advertized and more. I spent the day giving her a good bath, and then tossed on some old wheels and tires that were laying around the garage.
I amost died when Granpa Mark mentioned that he never took her over 5k rpms. That has been corrected starting today.
I had no intentions of posting pics, but since David04 asked me to when he locked down the fs ad, well..here they are, if anyone is interested http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixace/...7628990165977/
There are no interior shots. Imagine a perfect interior, with normal bolster wear on drivers seat, and there ya go.
Thank you Granpa Mark. I'll be calling you for that autocross ridealong. She's in good hands.
