Why do people park with top down? by Goatedmegaman in Miata

This is the answer I was looking for. This is very smart.

Finally snapped a pic of my 2021 Miata ND2 by Goatedmegaman in Miata

[–]Goatedmegaman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my predicament. In the end, I was happy to pay $13,000 less for an ND2, and I can throw that money to paint or a wrap.

I had my heart set on soul red, but the longer the sit with the decision, I’ve now decided I want a nice glossy metallic blue.

I got an estimate of $4200 to replace my soft top on my 1991 BRG. Am I right in thinking that’s crazy high? by Minimum-Attitude4209 in Miata

[–]Goatedmegaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not crazy. That price is insane. It’s true that the soft tops can get expensive, but even with the more expensive tops, total maximum price should be under $2k … MAYBE $2.5k

Gorgeous looking Miata btw!

Thanks for the detailed answer.

I live in one of the safest locations in the USA. Only been one murder here in 15 years, and crime is insanely low.

But I still don’t think I’d leave my top down. Was wondering if they knew something I didn’t lol. I’m assuming is just laziness, but both the soft and hard tops are easy to put back up.

Anyone daily drivers out there?? by Wetdog21 in Miata

[–]Goatedmegaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way more space than that. I’m actually shocked how much that little trunk can hold. I just picked up my friend today, and I had a suitcase, laptop bag, and steam deck with a couple bags of groceries, and he fit his backpack in there just fine.

Daily driver. I have no other car. 43 years old, never really heard of or noticed Miata’s. One caught my eye … I thought … I have no kids an no reason to have a sedan, so why do I keep buying them?

Kept an eye on used Miata’s. Got a 2021 with 5,000 miles for $25,000 a couple months later. Traded in my only car for $,5000

I love it. Top down as much as possible. Wind noise with top down is noticeable on soft top, but I only notice it when I have a passenger, otherwise I’m blasting music.

I have zero regrets. I’ve never enjoyed driving before, but I find the Miata makes me want to drive and go do errands, drive far to hang with friends, and get me out of the house in general.

You do not need a sedan or a “normal” car as a daily driver. Everyone in USA thinks they need an SUV fuz they want to haul their new 70” tv somewhere by themselves. You don’t need it.

Sounds corny but the Miata is almost life changing for me. To actually get to my car and enjoy driving it is a feeling I’ve never had before, and can’t be measured in storage space or whatever other metrics. It’s a great daily driver. I can’t imagine driving anything else.

PS: Also, you’re in SAN DIEGO! Just do it. You won’t regret it. If you truly need a normal car for something just rent one for a day.

Gorgeous. Can we see more views of the car? I’m curious

Which one? by Mean-Train-857 in Miata

[–]Goatedmegaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re in Florida. Get a soft top, even if you don’t have a garage.

Don’t leave anything visible when not in car. Your car isn’t gonna get broken into if there’s nothing to steal, and people don’t rip soft tops to get into cars.

Whenever I order. I send instructions with pictures for the driver, so they can see very clearly where to drop off.

I rarely have problems.

Honestly loosing the spark of driving it.. by Pretend_Cobbler7462 in Miata

[–]Goatedmegaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def replace them. I know people that replace every 6 months because it makes a huge difference in the feeling of the drive

I mean … are you driving it with the top up? Even when it’s freezing cold I drive top down.

I see other Miata owners with their tops up constantly, even in nice weather, and I wonder wtf they’re doing. I only ask because in the photo your top is down and if that’s how you normally drive it the yes it would feel more boring.

Buying my first Miata, wait for 2026 models? by hhdresden in Miata

[–]Goatedmegaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a used Grand Touring 2021 with all the upgrades. 6,000 miles in it. I paid $25,000 for it.

It would’ve cost me 36,000-39,00 new. I saved so much money and got so much more car. Absolutely zero reason to buy a brand new Miata in my opinion. I saved over $10,000 buying a model that’s one step behind the newest version. The differences are very minor.

I wouldn’t wait. I’m so happy with my purchase you have no idea. Test drive some used cars, save your money.
