So I drove the. 26ft Uhaul with transporter and the wife drove the Miata 500 miles to Little Rock. We had some pretty shitty weather the whole way. The cheap Walmart Douglas 240 installed tires kept her safe
ran like a champ but I think it needs some wheel bearings.
Here is the wife cruising after the rain let up a little.

Yes, no idea.
Got bored today so I went on a 300 mile trip to the mountains with my son. Curvy roads, dirt road hooning, creek crossings, etc. Car is so fast it blew out the back window. Arkansas is freakin beautiful. I miss these roads. Be under no illusion, we did not wine and cheese this ****. I had a Redbull, he had a Sprite, we made good time. It was 39F, the top was down, we had beenies. I have video taken by a 7 year old.

I dig this thread.
I often toy with the idea of turning my current car into more of a dedicated track rat and building a nicer "vintage themed" street car, but I don't have enough space and my wife would have a fit if I sold the BMW to daily drive an NA Miata.

Update: Did the SHENITZU? Honda grease mod to all the power windows so they would work. Its way better. Found out the car has fairly new sony speakers...score. I also did a foamectomy last night. Noticed today that the hood and barn doors were all bent weird so a pulled and pried and everything lines up better. Thinking of giving it a Rustoleaum paint job.

Thats my plan. Also I trust driving a POS Miata more than any other car knowing I can fix anything on the side of the road with a small bag of tools, duck tape, and zip ties. We should have a white trash miata thread.

So I'm taking an oil field job based out of OKC, its about 700 miles roundtrip. I've been up there twice in 6 days. I had to be there Wednesday for drug testing and DOT physical. I left in an ice storm Tuesday so I wouldn't get stuck at the house. Driving home Wednesday I snapped some pictures of a wreck I saw going up Tuesday and took a scenic way back home through the Quachita National Forest.
