Would you drive a Mazda Miata?

[rockin86ranger]

Would you drive a Miata, alot of people say they are for gays, and what not, but i have heard they are really fun to drive and get good mileage. I found a red and black one for $1800 but it also has 192,012 miles on it so what do yall think

Why not? Better yet...drop a 302 in it

Working at a repair shop Ive driven a few but too close of confines for me. Im a tall guy so no leg room no place to move. Just uncomfortable. Ive seen a guy on youtube that swapped an LS1 into a miata. Complete sleeper.

I'd drive one...

With an ls1/t56 swapped in and the heater/ac/all unnecessary crap removed (the miata would retain its nearly perfect weight distribution) and some nice expensive suspension with some light wheels.

See you at the track.

Ya well some people might walk around saying Rangers are for gays and we all know the Ranger is great for everybody. i've heard good things about Miata's and I'll drive just about any damn thing. If you like it go for it, if not dont. It's a personal opinion thing so test drive one and decide that way. I vote yes.

Their great so long as you are not taller than 5'6"!
I'm 6'5" so its a no vote from me.

Fun to drive. But im 6ft 270lbs. Can't push the clutch with out hitting the turn signal switch. That and slamming my knee between the door and steering wheel everytime i shut the door.

my mom has a green 2001 miata

Even ignoring the fact that any guy who is seen climbing out of a Miata
is presumed by most other to be gay...

I can't drive a corvette because I don't fit.

Hell, driving a standard cab ranger requires me to either glue thick mousepads
to the dash to protect my knees or wear construction worker's knee pads

No.

And I can't imagine why I'd want to...

I mean a guy can call me gay if I'am getting out of a 400hp+ miata? But if I'am gay he better be ready for a race.

I voted yes.

I'd still rather drive a MR2 Spyder/S2000/Sky/Solstice before a Miata, but I'd still drive it.

I'm not basing that on any real reasons, just personal preference.
