I went up to Conn. today for Easter dinner with my brother and sister in law and one of my nephews. When we pulled up I noticed a Miata in their driveway, and my nephew came out of the house. He then said "Look, uncle unstable bob, you inspired me!" I said "Wat 'chu talkin' 'bout?" He said "You inspired me to buy the Miata!" I gritted my teeth and said "No way did I inspire you! If I inspired you there would be an AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR parked here, not this chick car POS Miata!" My nephew then got a puss on his face, and slunked back into the house. Geez, it is hard to bring kids up right now-a-days!:evil:

There are MANY things wrong w/ a Miata. For example:
1. It is an import
2. It is a chick car
3. It is underpowered
4. It is Japanese
5. It is not American
etc, etc, etc.

There was a co. around years back that put 302 Phords in 'em. Called 'em Monster Miatas. I raced one once in my 94 TA. Smoked 'em like a woolie!:nod:

I gotta say, we had a guy on the race team who bought a $900 miata, put a new clutch in it, about 2k in suspension, new wheels and tires, and that thing handled like it was on rails. Could def use a few more horsepwoer, but u got thing into the twisties and it was some fun

Hey Bob, at least the Miata is RWD. And maybe a manual trans. Always look on the bright side of life..... :whistle:

my old boss was paid to fabricate and do the swap of the ford 302 into a miata but when he ran it it went 11's. I'll have to get the exact story but I don't think many people built those. He said he's seen it go on ebay a few times. Possibly the same company.

Lissen Jerkoff, I'm entitled to my opinion, just like you are entitled to yours. But it figures that you would be a ****in' Import supporter, since you drive a me too, er, I mean Mustang. But lemme ask you this, scum bag; have you noticed how our automotive industry is in the toliet? But that's OK, right? Buy up those Imports and send all that $ to Japan, Germany, and every other friggin' country that makes cars. Watch Detroit become a wasteland like something outa Mad Max. I have automotive memories dating back to about 1970. I remember seeing 442s and SS Chevelles being driven as daily drivers. And nobody in my family needed a fookin' Import to get around. Maybe you need to pull YOUR head outa YOUR a$$. Want me to use my Triple A to call you a tow truck to do the pulling? And in the mean time: F*** YOU!

Thanks. Honestly, I really don't have a beef with Mustangs. I did get a little burned out on 5.0s back in the 80s and early 90s, as it seemed "everybody" had one. But they are pretty potent cars. So, I apologize to the car. But not to the douche bag driver.

lol my brothers and all of our friends same crap to me when it comes to the 5.0 mustangs due to they are "me to" cars but i still love them anyways lol
but when it comes to the imports i agree 100% if it wernt for them we would still be able to buy mustangs-camaros and what not for under 10 grand. if it was up to me id take every import crush them then send the crushed remains back to the countrys they came from.

if america could still build cars that are price competitive and dont have problems like roof panels flying off from $50k cars, maybe more people would be inclined to buy american. my last 3 cars have been american, the only reason i'd buy an import is for gas mileage, but thats what the typical american wants, not 400hp and RWD. im just saying that saying they ALL suck is extremely close minded, cause they do good at what theyre meant to do - be economy cars. or in the miatas case, be a 2 seat car built for the female/homosexual population of america :lol:
though, a black miata, lowered, with an LS1 or 302 would be pretty sweet

the problem with what your saying is that simply put if imports wernt here american cars wouldnt have the problems they have.
my moms domestic ford is an import and my dads imported ford is a domestic :(
if we got rid of the jap and other import cars the the big 3 could come back here and start building cars again instead of being in mexico and canada they could be here where they should be. if the americans stopped building jap crap and went back to building american cars then they would still have the same quility that they used to before are government pushed them away for these riceburners
