I was taking a picture of my kid while I was at the beach and captured this in the background.


When my tiny knuckle dragging mechanic's brain finally computed what was happening it was over. This hero or possibly villain's Miata was long gone. Maybe he was practicing for the Gambler500? Maybe this was the only running POS he had available. But this man gathered and claimed wood for his clan of CaveMiataMen to make precious fire... maybe to cook his freshly killed hunt... or maybe for smores.

Regardless I wanted to offer him $500 or a Craiglist POS truck I could buy for the same money and fix up. This NA Miata is the Gambler500 car of my dreams.

Keep on collecting firewood on the beach crazy Miata man... just keep doing your thing....
