[MeFryRice]

I'll start it off.....

Today around 5:30ish I saw a red NA with the R lip, black turn signal ducts on Enkei RPF1's turning off Huddleston Rd onto HWY 54 in Peachtree City.

[GTSwift]

ok. today 12:30 i saw an almost purple nb with a grey top off highland parkway in smyrna.

and a lowered blue na with two black stripes on united dr in smyrna about 2:10 pm

[amaff]

The passed 2 days I've seen the same burnt orange Mazdaspeed Miata heading East on Sugarloaf Pkwy. Anyone know who it is?

[iJohnnyC.]

Athens, near home depot on Epps Bridge, I keep seeing a slammed, blacked out first gen w/ black wheels/polished lip. Sick little miata.

[miata5620]

seen a few lately in the parking lot at work, normaly they are guys in the late 50s who arent really into there care much. they just want to come buy cheap tools at my work. i am surprised i dont see more of them after all miata owners tend to be on the cheaper side, always on the budget.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

where are you working?

[miata5620]

harbor freight in lilburn

[metalman]

I am a cheap bastard thats been there many times. :D

[miata5620]

lol you and every other cheap bastard and the diy guys who saw the "power block" on tv and your going to get a welder and weld you a trailer or a car from nothing. and of course you have never welded before in your life. i swear the shows are entertaining but people dont realize somethings they make look easy arent.

[hrk]

I am the other cheap Bastard who visits your store often. And I actually build the car from scrap, but I've never seen the program you mentioned from TV.

Hey hrk introduce yourself, in the intro thread in general section! Welcome!

[MeFryRice]

I saw Dumont (not a member of the board) driving his burgundy colored NB yesterday. It's lowered on what appears to be rotas and has a cage. He recently just got it back from the body shop as someone rear ended his wife in it. :(

[Sawyer]

I think I saw my old '03 Silver NB yesterday! I didn't get a great look at it, so I'm not too sure. I sold it to a lady about 10 minutes away from me so it's very possible!

[Sawyer]

I passed a guy in a red NC on Fischer Road on Thursday at 6pm. Waves were exchanged!

[Roadster]

I saw my first NA at the SCCA autox last weekend. I hadn't seen it in almost a year. The new owner hadn't changed a thing except for new tires. :)

What is it with the age thing on this site.
I stop at your place and buy tools, and you should see my shop. I built the shop because I actually work on my cars. What have you done to yours??

I see a lot of age bashing on this site, I thought we were all car guys.
I am in my late 50s and I will compare the cars I have built with anyone on this site. On my 4th Miata as well as quite a few other sports cars in my life and not one of them stayed stock for more than a month after purchase.

Just because our hair may be gray does not mean we do not care about our cars.

[miata5620]

not tryin to age bash the guys who i was refering to were all nice guys but when talking to them they could care less about there car for them its just a fun daily driver nothing they care to talk about. not saying everyone who is older is like that but most of the guys i have talked to have been.

You tell 'em Lance!! :D

There is a wide range of age and taste on this site...as with all Miata sites. Two facts I have noticed, not all young guys/gals are into riced out tupperware ladened imports...although many are. Neither are are all old guys into only unmolested original special edition garage queens like some on m.net There are a number of 'older' folks on this site...and nearly all of them have modded cars....or in some cases a lengthy history of fooling with modded cars and more.

I am glad youre a little older then me...I am tired of being the oldest guy!! Please come to the Gwinnett Sonic meet some time...so I dont have to be the oldest guy there!! lol....

And youre right....some of the most knowlegable and cool car guys I have ever met were old....ALOT older then me.

[miata5620]

like i said i am not saying all older guys are like that just any of the ones who have brought there cars up to where i work and i comment on them could care less to talk about them. i am not trying to come off sounding like i know more about cars or that i am into cars more than people who are older than me. just saying most that i have seen stop buy arent the type who care to talk about there car and normaly when they dont care to talk about there car they arent a car guy.

If I could get this thing to take an attachment, I would send a picture of my last project, but so far can't get it to work.

Live out in Cumming GA, Gwinnett is a long haul during the week, but you never know.

[MeFryRice]

I spy a red NC sitting in our garage at work. It's a co-workers. :D

[Sawyer]

Ron's car looks really orange in those pics!!

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

God damn that's cool. Really starting to fall for the NC's!

[thx712517]

Saw Simon's car at KSU this evening, I think.

[MeFryRice]

God damn that's cool. Really starting to fall for the NC's!


The car only has ~3k miles on it. He just put the hardtop on it ~1 month ago along with adding tint. It also has H&R Springs, BBS RX wheels wrapped with Azenis, Racing Beat muffler, ScanGauge II and the much needed Voodoo knob.

[Sawyer]

His is probably my favorite NC!

[Grantri]

About twice a week at quitting time (5:30 ish) I see a nice clean smurf blue NA with white stripes heading North on Hwy 81 in Loganville , seems I'm never in my car when I see the guy .

[roadster1]

Hey CaveRacing,
Was that you at 92 and Trickum the other night? You were headed east on 92 and I was going south on Trickum. Nice looking stripes.

Ben

Ben


Yeah, Ben, that was me. Thanks for the compliment. I gave the old head nod as I was unable to wave. But I saw you flash the lights. You live up here?

[Oblio]

God damn that's cool. Really starting to fall for the NC's!

I live across from Pope High School. I had just left the car wash so I was letting the top dry out a little more before dropping.

[RotorNutFD3S]

To resurrect a thread, lol, I spotted a bright yellow NB on Hwy 54 while I was driving my gf's silver NB. The guy nearly came out of his car to wave at us as we passed by going opposite directions.

[MeFryRice]

I see a red NB (earlier model) every morning on my way to work. The guy always has his top down too.

[metalman]

did I mention that 0% financing is available


Based upon your credit report...available at particpating dealers...individual terms and conditions may vary...void where prohibited by law...:lol:

[RotorNutFD3S]

As long as the weather is nice, I always had the top down going to and from work.

[Doppelgänger]

I was driving to work today and saw a Titanium NB that looked just like mine..... then I realized I was jsut looking at my reflection on a building :LOL:


Too bad my commute isn't really long enough to see many cars..... 3.5 miles :(

[RotorNutFD3S]

^ If you were a dog, you would have been barking and growling ferociously at yourself too. :)

[Doppelgänger]

Nah, i would have just looked at it with tilty-head.

[MeFryRice]

:WTF:

[Doppelgänger]

:WTF:


exactly

[RotorNutFD3S]

Thread resurrection.
This one is where I work. Never seen it before, but red NB, some wheels, didn't look closely to see what kind, and some ToTD decals on the windshield and quarter windows. I put a card under the wiper and then while driving out, I snapped a quick shot as I was leaving for the concert, would have gotten a better one, but I was in a rush, so it got the drive-by:

[Grantri]

Saw an "almost sunburst" (repaint nethinks?) NA at the Texaco at Hwy 81 & Claude Brewer Rd Wednesday evening. Didnt have a chance to stop and chat but we did exchange a friendly wave

[MeFryRice]

I see a red NB like that every morning. Older gentlemen and usually has the top down. :)

[RotorNutFD3S]

Cool. Well, we'll see if he meanders over here.

I saw a green NA today on the way to work with an older couple in it. You could tell that all they did to it was keep wax on it. Nothing wrong with that, it was completely unmolested. We passed 2 other Miatas going the other way, and waves were exchanged between all of them.

[Doppelgänger]

There is a black 1.8L and a red NC here at my work, but looking at the drivers, I don't think they'd be the kind of people to come over here :lol:

[RotorNutFD3S]

And that's because?...

[Doppelgänger]

they're older than Kurt....

[metalman]

Hey now sonny boy...watch it! :lol:

[RotorNutFD3S]

ROFL :lol:

I knew I was setting you up for that.

[Doppelgänger]

Hey now sonny boy...watch it! :lol:


OK McCain....

[RotorNutFD3S]

:jawdrop:

[metalman]

OK McCain....


You remind me alot of Rudy Guiliani's kid. Ya'll in the same grade right? :lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtvGJwEWbSQ

[Doppelgänger]

I can't see the video here at work :(

At least we know that Guiliani's kid isn't going to have to worry about $$$ :lol:

[Roadster]

I see Acro most days when I'm driving home from work. We usually seem to pass on Scott Blvd. in front of the QT.

[Doppelgänger]

I really don't see anyone on my 3.5 mile commute to work :(

[RotorNutFD3S]

Haha at the video!

My commute is a little over 10 miles, I see quite a few some days.

[jesseealexander]
