Was just offered a running Miata for $500

Fellow car nut guy i know has a '90 w/ 300k miles on it and is buying a wagon for his business so the miata has to go. Leakdown when he bought it showed one cylinder at 40% but he drives it regularly. Has one rust hole at the rear rocker (outer) which, to me, is not a big deal considering price.

I'm not really ready to throw a couple g's at yet another project....but this is so darned cheap!

And it's blue which i like!

Not sure what i'd do with the car but most likely would be goofing off and autox's. Have a new baby coming in the next few weeks so i won't have the time or budget for door to door racing anytime soon.

Also not sure how it'd fit in the garage......might have to live outside for a while.

Hoy! I dunno how i could pitch this to the wife other than $500 is just hard to pass up!

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
