Nice looking Miata.

Well I used to own this

It had some issues, in retrospect I should've kept it. Oh well live, and learn.

Anyways ever since I was a kid I wanted a miata, and since noticing more and more of them low, with nice fitment, I started to seriously search for one. Well one day I'm cruising Lake Oswego, craigslist. And Spot what I thought was a nice well taken care of miata, well, it was well taken care of kind of. I drove the 2 hour drive to take a look, and immediatley loved it, drove it, bought it.

Drive home



It wasn't till later that I was cruising club roadster, and found the shop who had sold the car to me writing about how it was "the shop turd," and had been used as a chumpcar racer. Awesome. What happened to never beat on... It's fine though it has a new engine in it with paper work to prove that, and came with koni yellows, FM braces, and a Torsen, so it's danm fun to drive.





Well the second day I had the car I drove to my ladys house, and her brother backs into it... Great does this car have a bullseye?

FIXED THAT SHIT



Then I left to LA for the summer, to be a missionary, sadly the miata stayed home, fed homeless guys name hollywood herb, and helped kids draw dinosaurs



I'm getting shirts made with that drawing front and center if anyone wants one

Also ate a lot of PHO If you're from LA near south central you know what I am talking about. Should've taken pictures.

Anyways when I got back from the mission field, I acquired parts, and have been installing them.

Got these



Which made this



Once I got the car closer to the ground I bought deeeese. illustrated, by my beautiful girlfriend.



Got it looking like this







Then I had a SEXY ASS FRIEND MODEL MY CAR
