mine was my daily driver for the past 2 years but now that i got a beater for free she is getting completely done and to tell you the truth i never minded the rattles it make most of mine come from my 22 year old suspension haha other than that the dash and stuff inside doesnt squeak and she doesnt leak water...unless the window gets stuck open haha

Mine is sitting right now and if it wasn't for my step-bro not driving his car right now(Out of town) I would be screwed. Although I do feel a little weird driving around town in a miata.

im not going to crazy with my car in terms of modifying it. i am doing some basic bolt ons though. i have a daily driver and a truck for the winter. i will have to drive my car for a little while the DD gets a new motor in it. im curious to see what happens years down the road if the car will be "desired" like people today desire the older years like the 69, etc.

Sometimes I wish I could just strap down a brick and watch it drive over a cliff. *grumbles*

my 69 has manual steering and it was my daily driver.
its all good ti; you gotta parallel park the bitch!
it is nice to have one less pully and one less thing to go wrong.
its a must in my 95 though!!!
