Y'all are gonna be
'94, blue, lame body kit (but I've seen worse), JR stupidcharger kit, boss frog roll bar, some electric blue color, should have torsen rear.
But damn it's cheap.
Will post pics if I pick it up

It's not quite that cheap. Should be able to pick it up for $3500. Its not really a pile, just not done exactly the way i would have wanted. Also, it has the roll bar and torsen that the NB didn't and the >4k difference is pretty huge. The stupid charger might be fun for a bit. On top of that, I have decided that at least for now, the amount of power my NB had is a bad idea -- I'll lose my license.
We will see what happens.

Ah, one more consideration: turns out, my wife doesn't like Miatas. having 7k + invested in a Miata is too much money for us likely for the next 3-4 years or so as we prepare for and attend graduate school. I can't spend that much on a toy just for me, and saving won't change that because we need to save for other things and the income won't support it. So I need to buy a cheap car. Looking at the other turd piles I can get for $3500 I don't see why not. If I don't enjoy it, I can easily get my money back out of it because those parts are expensive. My choices now and for the next several years are either: 1. buy a cheap Miata or 2. No Miata. I don't like option 2.
If any of you can find me a better Miata for under $4k, I'm all ears! Otherwise, for now I need something cheap and this should be a lot of fun (if not a lot of fast) for the money.

That being said: If the car is really poorly done and feels/looks like it's been thrashed, I will pass.
