I have wanted one of these cars for about 2 years and me now I have one. Its everything I wanted, I love it. I fit very well in the car considering I am only 3ft 9in, yep I just said that.

'96 Montego Blue here also. But Rafa's looks better than mine.
And buddy, you just can't throw out there that you are 3ft 9in tall and leave it at that. I have no reason to doubt you other than the fact that this is the internet and one in three assertions made online are fabrications. I dated a girl who was 4ft 10 and I can't imagine you being a full foot shorter than her. You did say that you were a troll, did you perhaps mean dwarf? Forgive my impetuousness, but I am insanely curious. Do you have any pictures of you with your new car other than driving it?
Too much ADHD and coffee...
And welcome. You have done quite a lot of good things already.

We need pics! You must come to the top of the A-pillar. *Stands in office with eyes closed and moves hand up and down, estimating pillar height.* Let's face it, you wouldn't have posted it if you didn't want us to ask. The visual perspective of you standing next to your car would pose quite a head scratcher for everyone that thinks Miatas are tiny.

I think you're going to fit right in with us.
You have the appropriate sense of humor.
BTW, my wheels are some Japanese (made in Taiwan) 16" wheels I found locally. I then painted them a light gold color because I had the same issue you mention with the color of the car. I'm waiting to get a ticket one of these days from a cop that insists the car is green and not blue as it states in the title.

Awesome! Your sense of humor/attitude is pure win! And you are doing the right things to your car in the way of modifications as well.
Welcome.
Edit: BTW, what you described as a troll we call a lurker. The trolls are the ones that lay in wait for opportunities to be malicious or evil.

Yes this is an OBX exhuast. While I "Lurked" for about a year in the Miata relm, I looked through tons of exhuast options. Suprisingly the OBX was one of my top choices. Comming from someone who hates loud, ricey sounding exhuasts I was suprised I chose the OBX as a top pick. I can't complain about it, very quiet. It was weird how the car I ended up buying had one of the few exhuasts I liked one it.
I did buy the car pre-modifed. My original plan was to find a close to stock model and boost it myself. This was to good of a deal to pass up.
