I had a Miata almost exactly like yours Flu. Except it was 100% stock. First year, no options, just a clean basic fun little car. I bought it from a friend of mine who was the original owner. He was buying a house in Coronado and was cashing out everything that wasn’t nailed down to afford it, so I got a good deal on it. His family was mad and thought I paid too little. So in front of his family I made him a deal – if at any point in time he wanted to buy it back, I’d sell it back to him at the same price. I wasn’t putting many miles on it so basically it would be the same car he sold me.
He never bought it back. He has since passed away, shockingly.
He got mad at me when I put chrome rings on the rims. I’ll never forget that. He wanted it to remain 100% stock.
