Dammit man, I was looking for NA Miata cars for under 3k instead of getting a motorcycle but I'm reminded that these are not affordable anymore. My friend got a fucking clean one, 116k miles for 1600 in 2015. I remember going to my dad for a loan as I was a senior in high school and my friend bought the car the moment I told him about it. He crashed it in one of the nasty Iowa snow storms, I was pissed. Also, how is seating in these for 6 foot 1 inch humans? I'm told these are pretty small, but I'm curious if I'll even fit in one. Also you should do pickup trucks. Hell, let me in the call when you do pickup trucks, that's what I'm most knowledgeable in as those were main transportation in Iowa.
