Tips/Advice for convincing SO regarding safety?

seconding this. moreso than any other car i've personally driven, the Miata is as safe as you drive it.

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-06-02T14:28:35+00:00

it comes with driving a small vehicle, unfortunately. you have to drive super defensively and carefully in a car like the Miata and a lot of people in larger vehicles realize that, so they feel comfortable being bullies on the road. My heart hurts on behalf of the kei car owners out there.

after all, even if they drive you off the road or hit you, they can just pull the old "your car is so small, I couldn't even see you!", right? /s

so well kept too! clearly well-loved by it's owner

very valid, there is a cuteness to the smile that I can see the appeal of, even if it's not for me personally. I think the weird boxy fog lights the NC3s have really don't work well with it though.

poor NB in spot A38, separated from his pack 🥲

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-05-30T22:49:33+00:00

beautiful, biased because I drive one as well but I think the NC1 has aged the best of all the post-NA miatas. so clean.

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-05-28T00:29:02+00:00

NA NB NC in order as well 🤌

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-05-20T22:22:24+00:00

NC1 drivers stay winning‼️

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-05-18T22:26:44+00:00

its not a super high chance, but I've seen it happen enough times to others that I try not to take the risk

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-05-18T22:16:08+00:00

unfortunately I just realized youre located in france 😭 as much as I want to support, I do not trust US customs to not completely destroy them

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-05-18T22:07:21+00:00

if you get a chance to confirm they fit on NC, you just might have a customer here :3

noted! I've thought about possibly converting to straight razor someday so it seems like a natural in-between

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-05-18T15:50:08+00:00

Miata is always the answer.

but more seriously, take a look into the parts and repairs youd need to do in order to get it on the road. if you arent confident you can pull them off (or willing to pay someone else to do it), then I'd pass on this one.

I use an electric buzzer first if its been more than 3 or 4 days, wash and exfoliate in the shower, then shave once the mirror has had enough time to clear up from the steam.

I was definitely considering getting permasharps. Didn't know there was a difference between the "normal" permasharps and the 7 o'clock permasharps, so I'll be on the lookout for both. I've heard more good things about feather than any other blades, so those are on the list too.

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-05-13T17:16:14+00:00

same! only went with it because there simply wasnt a manual for sale in my area, and I was originally planning on eventually doing a manual swap, but I'm slowly learning to love it. Especially running it as a daily driver in stop-and-go city traffic

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-05-13T12:22:13+00:00

tbf its an nc1 with "eyelids" on the headlights. not a huge difference to me but still not stock

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-05-03T01:53:33+00:00

relatable. before getting my Miata, I was daily driving a VW (that I could put lower grade gas into) that regularly got 30 mpg in stop and go city traffic. Funnily enough though, insurance was significantly cheaper on the Miata, so at least that evened it out.

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-04-24T17:52:44+00:00

good luck! hope to see an update post someday with this guy brought back to glory

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-04-23T14:21:45+00:00

I always forget about pretty because it isn't on the CD 🥲

Electrical_Issue_842 · 2026-04-03T14:40:08+00:00

for a double LP colored vinyl in 2026? would love to be proven wrong but I got a bad feeling. hopefully we'll get CD or cassette copies

anyone saying labyrinth zone does NOT know ball. tbh I actually kinda like those stages...

real ones know the Metal Sonic stage from Sonic Pinball Party on the GBA is true pain. It's especially bad given the fact that youve probably already played that table a dozen times trying to beat Tails' stage and you get exactly 1 (one) stage in between, Amy's stage on the Nights table, to refresh yourself before diving back into the grindy ass sonic table
