New Miata Owner from Philly

New Miata Owner from Philly
Hi all.
After having several significantly faster cars and hating convertibles for no real reason, I test drove a Miata that was sitting at a dealer that I went to see a CTS at.
I now have the Miata haha.
It is by far the most fun I have had in any car I have ever owned and my last few cars were a 371 WHP 06 Mustang GT, 1998 365 WHP LS1 Camaro & 2001 Audi S4 Twin Turbo.
I. Love. This. Car.
See you around

Plans?
I got it with a 30k/3yr warranty so I am going to do RB breather mods, lower, sways, mounts, wheels & Tires, HID kit, full maintenance fresh start & shifter upgrade. Some minor weight reduction if and wherever possible while maintaining it's DD essence.
After the 3yr/30k is up, I will turbo it

Oh, my cat. Puddy. FAT!!

Better yet, if you look at a Philly crime map, unexpectedly or sadly, you see that almost 85 percent of the crime is in the same 3 area. A bunch of little dots on the map and the rest of city is a very legible map haha.

I used to complain about how strict my HOA was when they'd warn me about the garbage can that was out a day too long, or the grass that was a little too high, and or infested with one too many weeds. I'm beginning to like my neighboorhood now. Yuppies FTW!
You do have the best sandwich in the world named after your city though.
No ones every heard of a Oregon City Cheese Steak.

Down the street a guy who painted his awnings and front green. Looks hideous. Next to him a house that has Florida/Caribbean "styling". The most we can do is go to a neighborhood council type meeting, bitch and hope the embarrassment pushes them address the issues.
I am not too social so my goal would be to eventually move to a shitty house with lots of land hehe

We need to find a place like this:
https://www.miataturbo.net/insert-bs...r-house-77487/
Outside says "**** off, I'm baller", and requires no maintenance.
Inside says "I like to work on cars all day".

The fake roll bar. It screams poser. It's the previous owner's fault and not yours.
And if you get rear-ended it will split your skull open like dropping a watermelon on concrete.
Hard Dog makes real track-legal roll bars that will protect you in an accident.
Get their high density padding kit to protect your melon.
