[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Coronita][quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Coronita][quote=scaredyclassic]I drive very gently and slowly. The transmission will be fine. I am the slowest guy anywhere. New Miata seem rather cheap.
I really would rather just live than fail at a gun suicide. I’ve always thought it’d be best to be on a raft far fr shore, tie a weight on you, shoot raft, shoot self.
Of course,. I could have a change of heart between the raft shooting and the suicide.
Dammit. Maybe shoot self off the golden gate bridge?
I think at the end of the day suicides just not for me.[/quote]
New miatas are cheap. Softtop cheaper than hardtop. The other thing is, if you don’t care, you don’t need to get a manual transmission. Automatics are more reliable than manual in this generation. They don’t break.
Added bonus of miatas. Sorry, I can’t pick you up and take your friends… Only 2 seats…sorry
Also funner car than minis imho.
One other problem. If your taller than 6′, may not be a car for you…it won’t be comfortable.[/quote]
69.5 inches. Very slender. Fuck it, maybe I should go get one.
Could be 69 or 70 inches. So much depends on posture[/quote]
Should work… I’m 71 inches. The only issue is when I wear a helmet, top of my head rubs against closed roof. Sometimes. You won’t have a problem.
2019+ has adjustable steering wheel, so that helps. If you need to reduce the seat height, Aurora Auto Design has a seat bracket that can drop the height down by 1.1 inches (it’s usually used for taller people with helmets to pass the “broomstick test”.)
I’m thinking about wearing a motorcycle helmet at all times while driving tho. Hmmm. Keep top down[/quote]
Not legal i think. I was pulled over once for doing this…Long story…Didn’t have time to exit race, change, and take kid to a basketball game i was coaching…
Was annoyed because friends with catfish miata with no windshield never had that issue.
