>>27919330lol idk i just saved this one since it was the cutest SORRY!
>>27919326almost 7k miles so far. anyone have a full list of things I should do to store it under a tarp for the winter? thinking dec-jan-february, i will have it covered up
>>27919420remove battery, put it on jackstands
i'm debating on buying a '21 club + brembo/bbsthe car was supposed to be a CPO car, but it has a weight sensor fault and the dealership says that they would have to replace the seat bottom which would be a $3500 repair and they want to sell it as-is. it has ~15k miles and it could use a new set of tires and 2 of the wheels are curbed because of the retarded old boomer previous owner.dealership was originally asking $26k - they said they can come down, do you think if they would agree to say, $23k out the door (tax, title, licensing) it would be worth it? it's clearly not a perfect car, but it's also got the most desirable combo, i just don't know how the weight sensor thing really works since i only owned a NA prior and that didn't have working airbags to begin with...
>>27919437thanks. as you can see i've got the potenzas it came with still. if i wanted to be crazy and replace them well before they're worn, what would people recommend I consider?
>>27919460curbing the BBS' is criminal
>>27919340I want to put a chud face on it and its running over niggers
>>27919461>if i wanted to be crazy and replace them well before they're worn, what would people recommend I consider?get something cheap as fuck and hard as a rock so you can do skids easier. its easy to over grip these cars and i swear it kills the fun.
>>27919474it's not hard to skid on these as is. 2nd + a hard turn is pure joy, but feels controllable. maybe I should just ride them out till they die
>>27919469yeah, the single previous owner was apparently an old boomer who couldn't drive, it doesn't have any other damage from the photos and videos i was sent, but it has some wheel curbing sadly.i'm just wondering if i should buy this now, or wait another 3-6mo when i presume the values will tank even further like they have been doing on ND2s.i wanted to buy a new one, but i just feel like used car values are taking a huge shit across the board and it would be very foolish to buy any new car for the next few years with the economy, elections, etc.
>>27919493definitely wait. that's a wild amount of brake dust for the rear lol whoever was in possession of this thing was not interested in keeping it clean. 15k miles is low, but for the same $ or a little more, you can get lower mileage ND2s in way better condition. it'll be worth when you get one and don't have to worry about anything, can just enjoy it.
>>27919471I’m waiting anon
>>27919520it's kind of a tough spot, because you can get a brand new regular club (no recaro/bbs) for roughly $32k with S plan, which is okay, but i just don't like the idea of buying a brand new ND when they've been making the same damn car for 10 years now. i just want something with low miles and not too trashed, but this one seems to be a little odd considering the previous owner did not seem to really care for it other than get its oil changed a few times. although, i've driven a few other ND2 clubs with bad mods, smoked in, fat people destroying the recaros, etc.this one looks like it only has 1 small crease on the driver's side recaro which isn't terrible i guess
Any high mileage ND anons itt? Like over 75k miles. How's the 'ol nd holding up? T. 260k NB ac still works kek
>>27919561low miles, not too trashed is absolutely doable. be patient and wait I would say, pass on this one unless you can drive off in it for 20k. as we speak, there is probably some other retarded boomer who bought a '24 club with the Recaros + BBS at the beginning of the summer, and is about to give it up after less than 10k miles because he didn't realize how much he would hate the ride of short wheelbase + the stock tuned bilsteins. that one, it would be fair to pay 28-33k
>>27918862>Feels like it'd be expensive.Depends on the car you get. If you get one that's a bag of shit, then yeah, the work that needs doing would probably be expensive. If you get a nice rust free one that has been well cared for, then it'll likely cost you very little. I've had my '96 NA nearly 4 years now, and the worst it has needed is a new brake caliper. Beyond that, regular service items are cheap as chips, so wouldn't cost more than any other car.

>>27919487Good plan. If you haven't got jackstands, inflate tyres to their maximum allowable pressure before storage
>>27919493Do you like the colour? If you like it, it's probably good, although I can't comment on prices. You can hide the curb marks easily with a black sharpie until you want to fix them.

>>27919626i found a 2022 grand touring for $500 more that was also posted locally last night, with only 5,500 miles, which seems to be a great value, but still..grand touring vs bbs/recaros which i'm not 100% sold on.i just really want to enjoy a miata for the fall weather, which is why i'm leaning towards this rougher one, but it needs to be much cheaper for me to really consider it. i just don't know if a dealer will go that low, although the sales guy said that they are pretty pissed off that the retarded old boomer didn't mention the issues it had and they probably have a lot of $ into it already. so i dunno, maybe they'd move on it, who knows.i presume there's no other mechanical issues that can pop up with a low mileage ND, right?

I rebuilt the gearstick in my 2002 NB. Right shows new lower boot, left shows the old lower boot on the stick - the rubber completely split in two. The upper boot was the same way.
>>27920817Top (or left depending on what happens to orientation) is the old upper boot and you can see the rubber disintegrated.The throw is much more smooth now.
>>27920821Probably less heat in the cabin as well

Has anyone changed their upper ball joint before ? I know it's not Mazda standard to press in a new one and they'd rather you buy an entire new upper arm. But they're like $400 a piece? lol.
>>27920552no there really shouldn't be. the good thing about these manuals(some people have had horror stories, not the norm) is that they are durable, and the revised skyactiv-g 4 pot is also very durable. unless the guy was driving it like a complete asshole, there really shouldn't be anything catastrophically wrong with it

Are these lighter, billet pulleys good upgrade to have?
Same question for the steering rack spacer. My car is lowered a bit, are these a cheaper or better alternative to endlink tie rod kit?Does the steering shaft have room to move with those spacers?
>>27923034For the price, I'm sure you can find something else that will have a larger and/or make a more noticeable improvement to the car. That said, except for a lightened crank pulley, they can't really hurt either.
>>27923039Price wise, most of these kits are around the same price. It's an easy install that might have immediately noticable gains. What do you mean except crank pulley?
>>27923053Lightened crank pulleys can confuse the computer, causing phantom misfires as they don't dampen vibrations like stock ones. The only aftermarket crank pulley I'd consider using is the ATI Super Damper which has improved damping over a stock one. https://flyinmiata.com/products/ati-damper-pulley-kit-96-05
>>27919461Mazda knew what they were doing when they put those tires on. If you aren't tracking it, don't change it. They have just the right amount of grip you need and just enough slip for fun with smooth transition between.
>>27919561that's about one day trip worth if brake dust. Brembos are messy
>>27923084Ok. Right. Makes sense. In thinking of getting this kit.
>>27923105yeah, not tracking it. It's too new. When I've had it for much longer, and am ready to move onto something else, then I will be tracking it. For now, based on what you and others are saying I think i'll just ride them out for the full 20-25k miles or however long they should last>>27923108agree, they definitely kick the dust onto the front wheels really rapidly but ... those are the rears with the Mazda calipers, they definitely do not kick dust nearly as much as the brembos. And, double-so with them being the rears- they just dont take anywhere near as long to accumulate that amount of dust than the front does. I've gone a couple weeks, 100s of miles without washing and even the fronts with the brembos aren't that bad. this thing was neglected IMO but who knows really
>>27923129>Car parts on EtsyWhy have I never considered this before.
>>27923147Idk. Some sellers have good shit on Etsy. Usually 3d printed stuff sometimes more advance like billet pulleys
>>27923160I just noticed his store is in Poland. Cheaper labor, cheaper prices. All other lighter pulleys kits come awful colors, and are $160+His comes in black. seems like a good deal

>>27924060All M2's are JDM when new. Cars have been exported over the years to rich people's 'collections'. About ten years ago there were still some for sale in Japan but the prices were eye watering. About USD20K-30K when no other Roadsters would make 10K, Prices on genuine parts were similarly priced.Three models were sold: M2-1001 based on NA6, M2-1002 luxury model based on NA6, M2-1028 based on NA8.
>>27924060>Is it the rarest non-concept Miata?Mazdaspeed C-Spec is rarest NA. Only three were built. A white, a silver and a blue one

>>27919420>>27919493>>27919561Ugly monster trucks. Shoulda got an E92 335i.
>>27923386Thank you very much for your input anon.
>>27924484Interesting. Sounds like a train.
i did a shifter rebuild on my 2005 nb miata this weekend, but im having trouble at the literal last part. the upper boot cover wont stretch around my shifter. it goes down about halfway, but i cant get the rubber/plastic O ring to stretch enough. when im in neutral, the rubber sits the way its supposed to, but if i shift (usually down like 2nd or 4th) the rubber pops out and makes a rubbery “pop” sound. I need like another half inch to get it down fully without this happening. Should i cut the plastic ring and just have the rubber top? most videos leave it on, but i did see two where they cut it off. or maybe over time the rubber will just expand to stretch?TLDR:how can i stretch out my O ring more? Im lubed up as much as i can, and im trying to jam the rod into my O-hole, but the shaft is too big for my tight little ring.
>>27920821this is what i did, mine was similarly ripped. also the cap on the shifter was completely broken and i had to open the shifter housing fully to fish out the broken plastic chunks. see pic here (broken cap in bottom right) and post:>>27925581how did you get your new boot to go over the shifter fully? did it take a lot of pushing?
>>27925581>>27925598>Im lubed up as much as i canMore lube for daddy. My upper boot cover also didn't go down far enough so i unscrewd it (you've already screwed it in I see), lifted it up a bit, applied more oil to the black parts on the stick (pic rel), and then pushed as hard as possible to get it to go down.
>>27925621You appear to be missing the plastic pivot ball at the end there. That boot does slide down over the shifter. May try putting it in hot water. It slips into that little valley
>>27925634The pivot was replaced, pic rel shows the state of the old one as I pulled it out. There's an MX-5 retailer who sells the upper boot, lower boot, and new pivot as a set.
>Car inspected today>5 failuresWelp, guess its time to throw money at miata vendors. Anyone know if normal wheel hubs with bearings are fine for trackdays? I wanted to get those FM blueprinted one but they're fucking expensive.SKF ones from autodoc maybe?
>>27925676I'd go for the BCA ones on Rockauto personally, they're made by NTN who is the OE supplier for a lot of Japanese cars. Weirdly, the one with the ABS tone ring is cheaper and you can use it without issue on one without ABS.
>>27921917babi snek sssss
Posted in the last thread about posting in the last thread about finding a cheap NA at auction. Excuse the blogpost but I got the timing belt (and other stuff like water pump, seals etc) done. First ever timing job too. Fixed the rough running and evicted the mouse in the airbox. [spoiler]Also dad sounded proud of me so thats my month made[/spoiler]
>>27926255very nice, anon
>>27926255man I hate water pump jobs. I had to do one three times because the gasket kept leaking. I used paper, metal, everything.fuck.
>>27921917Solid red is such a good colour on Miatas. Wish they still offered it.
>>27925676Go with supermiata hubs from 949 racing. Cheaper and better built, you can get 2 for less than 1 from FM.
>>27925676>are fine for trackdays?
>>27926464Easy on an Mx-5 though. Did my FWD earlier this year. They're a right cunt in comparison.
Back to getting this shit box vvt swap running
>>27919460>>27919493>>27919561Decided against it, the car was filthy in person. Tons of rock chips. the driver's seat had a bunch of wear (presumably a FAT boomer) and the car smelled kinda moldy inside, which explains why the passenger seat sensor is fucked and the airbag lights are on - water damage. The dealer said that if I didn't buy it they're just going to send it to auction, which is a shame since it's a lower mileage 2021 ND2 club with brembos. Oh well, some 17 year old zoomer can enjoy it and trash it further now.Are ND2 Grand Tourings worth looking at, or should I just stick with Clubs with Brembo/BBS only?
what's something for $50 or under I should order for my NB Miata right now
Project weekend for my ND2.Already have CAI and Axelback on. Going to put on a GWR header, mid-pipe, and an oil catch can.Maybe this is as far as I go. Boost is not a line I'm willing to cross just yet.
>>27929139Hood struts. Worthless if you don't wrench yourself, but so nice to not have to work around that poxy fuckin' stick.
>>27929306I returned to the stick. Struts affected the hood fitment.
>>27929362Glad I'm not the only one who had that issue. The trunk ones were fine.
>>27929445Hey dude what head u it is that and does it do android auto? How is it viewing wise with the top down?
>>27929445Saw this cute little feller show up earlier, then disappear. Does he love the top down?
>Tfw ordered $100 of parts, $20 of which was optional but once you cross the $100 mark you get free shipping so why not
>>27924620>Only three were built3 too many, IMO.

>>27930167I'm not keen either. Posted the front as it was the better looking end.

Is this intake support needed? I've never had one in my Miata.
>>27928950What ECU are you using?Make sure you get proper wiring tools. Do not cheap out. Don't solder.Are you keeping 1.8 accessories?What are you doing for the steering rack?

>>27926532classic red is niec but mine has golden sparkples in it its called velocity red (fast)!
love my miat!
>>27930463I've heard of other people discarding it with no bad reports. I ground the crap out of mine as it used to scratch my hands when changing the oil filter. Lightweighted it as much as possible too.
>>27930463Most people remove them without any issues at all.>>27930465Got that MF squirt! Ms3pnp. I'm nearly done with electrical. Unless I fucked something up. I just need to figure which pins on the options board on MS I should use for injectors 3 and 4 signal, attach vvt signal as well, and it's good. Eventually figure out VICS as well but I'll do that after it's running and live with losing some torque. I want to pull +12V from the igniter wires but I'm also going to pull +12V for the wideband O2 from there and idk if it's too much of a draw for both. I guess I could do it from the horn under the dash but I hate splicing into shit. Is the steering rack going to be a problem?
>>27929514Not the anon who posted the pic but yes that looks like android auto. Sony and Pioneer make lots of good wireless android auto ones, I have a pioneer in my Z33 and it's a huge QoL improvement. It did cost me 1200$ with install and all the parts and labour for a top end model though (leafbux)
>>27930535>the steering rack going to be a problem?The 1.8 pulleys don't work with 1.6 steering rack. I don't think you can swap steering racks. You'd have to run all 1.6 accessories with the v belt.
>>27930567I had to swap the 1.6 alternator for a '97 due to the pulley differences but that's just the alt/wp/crank belt. The PS/AC/other-crank on both of engines are the same type. Just double checked and I should be fine. I'm using 1.6 AC and PS anyways.
>>2793056794 and 95 1.8 racks fit NA6, 96 and 97 have different hydraulic fittings.
Anyone here gotten insurance quotes for a ND3 and GR86/BRZ(2022+)? Apparently the Miata has significantly cheaper insurance than the GR86
>>27930501>monster truck
>>27930687It looks READY and DYNAMIC as Mazda intended.
>>27929362tbf I *think* they might be pushing the rear corners where the hinges mount up ever so slightly, but it's so minimal that I'd rather the access.

>>27933598its this year right?
Time for the single yearly post in this thread of my RF. She'll be paid off next year and I constantly debate if I want to keep the car after or sell it and put it towards something else. Problem is the car will be paid off with probably only 25k miles on the odometer so I don't think I'll ever really be able to get into anything else with such a fresh chassis with no car payments as I got a crazy deal on while prices were at the rock bottom right before covid hit. It's a perfect low candidate for a supercharger ect so I'll probably do that and keep it to be honest.
>>27933605hope so, the actual anniversary was back in May or something
>>27933610Keep it and enjoy being less of a debt slave (or not at all, I don't know if it's your only payment)
>>27933630It is, I feel like I'd be kicking myself forever if I got rid of a 20k mile car with no payment just to get into another payment.
>>27933610pretty miatif you were going to sell it and take on debt again it had better be for something special
>>27933610Supercharger kit for sale on m.net if your serious.
>>27933610Nice wheels, are they 16"?
>>27933610SEXO Well done anon, everything is tastefully done. i'd say keep it, fuck having debt. I was the happiest man when I made my last payment on my car.
>>27933582Nah, don't do that. You're inviting corrosion. Better to change fluids, fill the gas tank, max the tire pressure and disconnect the battery or put it on a tender.
>>27919326Does anyone have a resource on how to set up an ND for conefagging in the street class? I want a 3rd car (used strictly during nice weather, I already have a DD) and I'm on the fence between like a C5 or C6 vert and an ND.Would it be competitive within its class?
>buy belt tension tool and learn to use itGlad I did. Alternator and PS belts we're about to be half the tension needed. I hope timing belt is fine but usually the spring sets the right amount of tension anyways, if not more.

>>27935560Ah, where can i find a replacement one? the aftermarket short one has screws
I spent a few hours wirebrushing and sanding off any rust developing on the underside of my NB. It had been given a rubberised underseal at some point by a previous owner, but it was probably even 10 years ago given how much of it has peeled and rust set in. I took off some of the underseal in random areas and luckily the metal underneath is fine.

I've inherited a Miata from a distant family member, what should I do to make sure it keeps running and stops leaking oil? I have no idea about the maintenance on this thing and have no mechanic experience.
>>27937302>stops leaking oilFind the leak and fix it.>keeps runningKeep up on servicing.
>>27937302If it's the rear main seal, have fun. That one is the most annoying. I had my engine and trans out of the car and it still annoyed the shit out of me changing that one.

>>27935496>>27935499>tfw bought my NA6 for 2500 six years agoi will never sell it
Bump
>>27937663>Boxster, Civic, or MiataOne of these is not like the others. Miata is best, if you fit in it. Over 6ft and you will need to test fit yourself. Depends on body ratio whether you'll fit or not. If you don't fit, Boxter is a great choice, but it's more expensive to service or repair. Also consider Honda S2000 and BMW Z3-Z4.I'd rather a Mazda 2 or 3 than a Civic
>>27937663I know a guy who's restoring an '80s boxster and he's had to literally sand it down to the frame and replace every single wire, vacuum line, lamp housing, everythingHe bought a lift for his garage for all the work it's taken and it's been years since he started this "summer project"
>>27940603>restoring an '80s boxsterWas released in 1996
>>27940593Which Mazda center caps fit 6ul?
>>27940640You're right I was thinking 911 I got a concussion a few days ago and I'm still having memory problems
>>27940741Get well soon Anon. All the best.
>>27940647Measure the ID of the centrebore and look on eBay for replacement caps and stickers. But why would you? Restore the hubs and run it capless. They were great in Miata sizes. Pity you can't get them anymore.
>>27940852Aw, cute!This is such a comfy board
>>27932974Prefer the NB version, with it's smaller back window.
>>27941341Filename says coupe, but all I'm seein' is a monster truck.
>>27940593This thing is so goddamn gay what the fuck and what's with that weird ass rake monster truck rear suspension
>>27941348LoL. Here's a lowrider.
>>27941356I hate jap cars so much goddamn
>
>>27941359real.
>>27941498
>>27935499I see the listed prices are wild, but for how high do they actually go? I might put mine for sale for 10k considering I did the rust repair including front rails cut and weld just last year.
>>2791957780k miles on my ND1 and its been flawless. aside from oil changes/air filter, the only work Ive done was all 4 brakes and rotors.
>>27940593that is a fucking stupid looking vehicle holy crap
>>2794190310k sounds right why not 13k
>>27943911i think you can by a porsche 944 for these prices
>>27943914unbelievable https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1987-porsche-944-80/
>>27943914Honestly, though, is it a better car than a miata?
>>27943969i have no idea. but i would feel less retarded paying $10k for it.
>>27941354>>27943909Admit it, you've got shit taste in cars. Mazda2 [DE] is a great little car. Runs the Miata [ND] 1.5 engine and is great fun to drive.
>>27940593>>27943987These have the shittest interior of any car ive had to drive
yeah im definitely buying a 944 instead of a mazada
>>27943991So what? Mazda2 is Mazda's cheapest car outside of Japan. Plenty of cost cutting in the late 2000's. Still fun.
>>27944010New one is nicer inside.
>>27937560checking in. So happy I did this. Finally, I got to drive it a bit hard today. Going to do data logging and have them make sure the tune is dialed in tomorrow.full exhaust and tune and this car feels evolved!
>>27944014This honestly looks fantastic for a tiny econobox
>>27944014That one looks nice>>27944010This is the one i drove, spend some money and avoid this style
Turbocharge your miata.It's fun and makes Arabs in their BMW 325s and Golf GTI's seethe as you smoke them with the top down
>>27944168my dream plan is to have two MX-5s, one largely stock and one tuned to the gills for memes
I keep hearing about people using mobil's 0w40 in their miatas. Is this a meme, or is 0w40 really better than the 5w30 my NA 1.6 calls for?
>>27944168Too complex. I just let the turk smells go ahead knowing they'll never appear on a track day.
>>27944168Redpill me on your Volkswagen COP swap
>>27944014is this the 2024 one?
>>27921286Congrats, you just made a Z3
>>27944796It makes the big spark for big power. These are R8 COPs, which I think are just generic VAG ones >>27944789It's fun making roaches seethe while they're getting walked by a balding 30 year old boomer with the top down. I'm planning on getting one of those stupid luggage racks and go full boomercore on this.
>>27937560>>27944023thats fucking sick brother cheers
>>27945241>balding 30 year oldim so sorry anon, but i will NOT put a turbo on my daily drivert. nonbalding 30 year old
>>27945886lol not even an option for you these pieces of shit (stellantis) nuke themselves (glass trans/diff/rods/injectors) at 1 pound kek.
NTA btw
>>27945886That's fair, the Miata isn't my daily so I can afford to fuck around with it. It's still hella reliable at 260whp atm>>27946041Issue is the ECU on ND2+. ND1's have some nice kits available to them, I expect the ND2 to be a good platform once they finally figure out how to bypass the ECU. Maybe I'll even get one someday, they drive great.
>>27946041I thought it was unfeasible to put turbos on skyactiv engines because of high compression?
>>279447982024 is similar. Red interior details this year.
>>27946229the FM/BBR kit seems to do fine
>>27940593Thank you for the input anon. I’m 6’3, so I don’t think I’d fit in a Miata.What’s the parts availability and cost like on the other options you listed out?also what Porsche is pic rel?
>>27947301It's a Porsche 911 G-Series with the rare slant nose.
>>27945886>mfw 38 and significantly baldI grew out like 10 years ago when my balding first started and now I tie it up in a bun to cover my bald spot. It works very well actually. I'd suggest it to anyone who has a normal hairline but a balding crown.
>>27946081what do you mean? You can already flash the ECU and there are ND2 kits for turbo and superchargers
>>27947301I'm 194cm and 97cm if sitting on ground.fit perfectly in ND2 and have ~2cm to roof.if you are fat fuck then no change fitting.
JDM Mazda motorsport cars
>>27944788no nigga we use rotella T6 5w-40.That's the JUICE.
>>27944010Vastly improved by installing a new head unit
>waiting on upper rad hose and t-stat to TB hosesoon...this fucking close to starting up this VVT swapped NA6.I also need to order a generic connector and work on getting VICS hooked up on the manifold but that's a problem for another day.
You will never be a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. You are a homosexual man twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even trannies who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected axe wound.You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.Eventually it’ll be too much to bear – you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male.This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

has anyone here done a remote tune using EcuTek? if so what do I have to buy, kinda have hard time understanding for my ESL ass what the fuck I need to purchase so my car can be remote tuned. This is for an NC
>>27951832>You know all religion is man made horseshit, right?Now that we live in a post-christian western world where churches are burned down without too much fuss, where's that le epic enlightenment that was promised? Didn't make Joe and Shaneequa scientists, did it?

>>27954550Clean your throttle body, clean the mass air flow sensor, and if it's an NB1, do the EGR vacuum hose reroute if you haven't already. Also not a bad idea to clean the EGR valve to make sure it isn't sticking open. https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=380017
can anyone identify what this is? it was underneath the throttle body. I think it's causing problems but I have no idea what to do with it

looking good
belmetric sells good shit. Just got some quality tension clamps.
Never owned a car because I live in a country in Europe where cars are taxed to hell but the government refuses to nationalize public transport so both options are quite shit. Public transport is shitting itself hard after covid due to shortages in train drivers and bus drivers and has gotten exponentially more expensive. It has become so bad in terms of delays and price that driving is actually becoming a viable alternative now. I make pennies because I just started my career and was wondering if spending 10k on an old used Miata was worth it at all?Found pic rel for 8.750 euros:>Built in 2015>64.906 km on odo>126 PK>Soft topI'm mostly just gonna drive it for getting to places and I just wanted to know:1. Will I be spending lots on maintaining it?2. Is it retarded to have this as my first and only car, because it's not really "practical" compared to even say a sedan/hatchback mazda 2/3. I dont have a girlfriend or family, so it will mostly carry myself or a friend.
