    I recently got to drive a miata for the first time. The problem is, THIS was the miata I drove.

    Now i fear that if i ever drive a real miata i will compare it to this, and it will feel like a Sebring convertible in comparison....

    Its also the answer to the other thread about what to do with a miata stripped to the subframes. It was made by a good friend of mine. He built it then drove it 800 miles from GA to NY to visit.

    Now, THAT, is awesome. All the style of a hot-rod/rat-rod, with the driveability of a Miata.

    That should go in the magazine.

    Now that is cool. I'm not usually a fan of rat rods - most of them are trying too hard - but that thing is awesome simply because it exists.
