      In 2019 i bought a 10ae for $1500 non running with a torn up top and BALD and dry rotted tires. All it took to fix the running was a coil pack and new plugs! i LOVED that car... but life happens i walked away with a 6k profit....

    People who aren’t car people will never understand that a “dream car” or a “favorite car” doesn’t always have to be a Lamborghini or a McLaren. Seeing a guy happy with his silly little Japanese sports car makes me happy, because you know he found a car that he’s gonna enjoy driving.

      My dream car my whole life has been a Miata, like I mean Lamborghini's are cool and stuff, but they are too expensive to drive.
      if I had the choice between a 1 of 1 Ferrari or a mint low mile Miata, I'd choose the Miata (or sell the Ferrari and buy a Miata lol)

    Soft top tip, when you replace the soft top. Let the car sit out in the sun. The sun and heat will make the soft top material more stretchy, give it a few hours and drop the top all the way down. Latch it and leave it down for a few weeks, let it get used to its position and then start letting it down. It’ll ease the top in more and help you avoid damaging it.

    • @ScrewItGarage

      Yeah probably not the smartest idea putting it on in the winter, but you gotta do what you gotta do, that’s why we backed it outside when the sun was out

    This video isn't perfect, nor will it be the first or last NA Miata video. But I gotta say, it's nice getting recommended a small channel, with a young guy just chilling with a friend, wrenching on a Miata, making a RUclips video like it's 2015. This was incredibly refreshing to watch after watching so many Giga-RUclipsrs make extremely polished and frankly- bored videos. Nice job, you got me to sub lol.
