I looked at buying a Miata back a few years ago, but opted out because of the no golf club room. My golfing partner said, " what?, your're not gay".

If I go golfing then I put the golf bag in the passenger seat. If I golf with somebody I say I will meet them at the golf course.

My Miata came with black painted alloys......they gotta go.
Yours is a good looking rig.....cept for the wheels.

Nice, good looking car. I had a '97 with a hardtop, then got the missus a '99 and swapped the hardtop over. Then I got an '04 turbo. Great cars.

Yes I have a lifetime membership to the hairdressers association now. No regrets. The dealership had two 2013's. One a black one and one a white. The black had a similar paint job, was bought at an auction but as you know is hard to keep clean. Apparently this one was traded in on an ND. Having a PPI done gives me reassurance that it is a quality vehicle.

I had an '88 targa, but then 2 miata and now a boxster. I've also got a lifetime membership which is amusing since I shave my head.

Great looking car, hope you enjoy it.

I tried every edition and always wanted about an inch more seat/arm length. The ND seems to have it, but I'll wait until they're not so treasured by the dealers.

That's a very cool looking car you have there recyc.
I remember test driving one when they first came out. Would have liked to have one but with 2 kids there was no way that was going to happen.
When the top is down does the trunk space effectively disappear?
I like the idea of a hardtop for the security.

I think he is referring to the bloat in the transition from 240 - 260 - 280.

I like them too... matter of fact I put something very similar on my 95.

Lets just all agree wheels are like women... we all have different preferences.

Sweet looking rig, I like the wheels. There is astounding aftermarket support for the Miata. I was surprised how many Porsche guys had Miatas and visa versa, a lot of overlap.

Miatanet NC section has everything you want to know, and plenty you probably don't.

I saw a "nic phiite" today and it was really nice. Pretty small, but I had no idea they had a retractable roof on these cars.

Nice looking ride. If you get a chance to take a couple more pix, that'd be great!

I had no idea they made a PRHT.

(It's interesting too, that I've just recently noticed MX5's referred to as "ND, NC" etc.)
