So I bought my red 1994 in the summer of 2010. First time I worked on it I changed the spark plugs. Long story short it broke and pieces of metal and ceramic fell into my engine. I got a vacume, hooked up a tube to it (really ghetto rigged) then proceeded to clean out all the pieces. Went to start it and i her the loudest shattering, banging, clanging, most God awful sound ever. Cylinder number 4 toast so I bought a used engine and put it in.
Everything was great for a year
Put H&Rs paired with Bilsteins, racing beat intake, highflowcat and catback enhaust and better tires. Which I went up to blood mountain 5 times since ive had the car and twice with my new suspension and I love it.
Then summer of 2011 came and it started going down hill again. I got into two accidents over summer, not my fault, and then another one in October (On my way to drop my car off at a body shop) ironic I know.
I feel like my car has a problem with attracting **** to it. After the third accident about 3 weeks later a buck jump out in front of my car and barely missed it and smashed into the F150 Next to me totaling it.
My car is fixed now, looks great, still a hoot to drive and I love it. But there is just something about this car that makes me feel, well, uncomfortable. haha But I'm gonna drive it till the wheels fall off :D

Anyways, thats my story!

Red and Tan is my fav!

watch out for a cloth drivers seat if you want to AX. Your body slides around too much on the leather

Thank you! And I believe it. It's even worse in mine because my seat has giant *** tear in the left bolster so I'm sliding a little more than I would like. Haha

Not exactlly, I missed the dear and the dear hit the f150. But I've gotten hit by a VW jetta, Ford explorer, and a Mazda tribute:lol:
Yeah I thought about gettin rid of it but I just couldn't, I've put so much time into this car to let it go, I love it to much. And thanks! I appreciate it:D

Ah, I read it as you hit the f150 while trying to avoid the deer. Man, if the deer totaled the f150 imagine what it would have done to the miata.

Yeah I know, it was a massive buck, largest I have ever seen. I really am fortunate that I dint hit it, because I don't think I would have walked sways from that accident. Thankfully no one was hurt. I imedietly pulled over checked to see if the guys was ok. He was mad that he dropped his cigarette :lol:
