Remember that?
So after owning and wrenching on Hondas most of my teen and adult life, I sold my CRX, moved to Hawaii, got homesick, then moved back carless. This was 1999-2000, at the height (so I thought) of the Honda-ricer movement. While discussing with a good friend about possible daily-drivers, we both agreed, "F**K-it, it's time to go RWD". He suggested a miata because it was off the radar and gay, and at first i was hesitant but decided to do more research. After reading a few post on Mnet, I was convinced a miata was for me.
I finally found a pristine 91 Classic Red. I dragged my buddy out to test-drive it with $3200 in my back-pocket. All it took was the first corner. I swear, I nearly ran off the road because the steering was so sharp and acurate (compared to my CRX, which was no slouch), I was early-apexing every turn,haha. I was grinning ear to ear the whole way home. I've been hooked every since.
