    Default Buy a Miata get a free blow up doll?

    I was browsing Craigslist looking for a Miata and came across this one in garland. This picture seemed a bit creepy to me, not sure if it's a doll or a really scary looking little girl. Maybe jrj512 can buy the whole package and sell me the car cheap.

    Interesting that it shows a brand new license plate. What's wrong with it?

    It's a doll. Specifically, the Rubberco model 817-9A with the optional Asian hair (note the A in the model number). They're pretty hard to find these days, at least in good condition. I might have to call this person.

    Minimal since Jimmy was the previous owner.

    The car is nice though.

    Looks like small hail damage would be my guess.

    Following the craigslist link, the plates look like they're photoshopped in...

    I'm guessing that only the registration sticker is good 'til next year since it doesn't appear to have an inspection sticker, expired or otherwise. Windshield replaced perhaps?
    Incidentally, looks like the exhaust outlet is as invisible as the radio...and the radiator could become invisible at any time judging by the tank colour.

    Wasn't a similar "free kid with car" Miata on clist a year or so ago?

    Clicking on the pic in the Craigslist ad takes you to the picture hosting site. There's an entire album:

    Question: were you shopping for a Miata or used doll?
    M3 is always the answer.
