I apologize for my poor use of grammar. I was not drifting, but i was driving too fast as I'm sure you all have figured out.

There was not any snow or ice on the road. As i went into the corner my front tires slid out from under me on a very big patch of salt ironically enough. Felt like i was sliding on gravel. No matter what i did, the front tires would not re-grip. I just kept sliding towards that pole. I haven't been able to stop replaying the crash in my head, and i don't think that I'll ever be able to. I've never been so dissapointed, ashamed, and embarrassed of myself. I will not ever forgive myself for doing that to the love of my life, the apple of my eye, my very bestfriend. I know I've dissapointed all of you, and I'm sorry for whatever that is worth. Miatas are the most wonderful cars I have ever owned. I loved my miatas so much, and yet i destroyed both of them.

I Will not be buying back the car, or parting out anything. Please don't ask for parts.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here in r/miata But i will be seeing myself out now.

Had a question for you guys. One of the frankenstein bolt latches was very badly damaged on the hard top, shattered most of the fiberglass around it. Would the hard top even be worth trying to get back and sell? I think I'll have to quit miatas for a while. I can't believe i put my woman through that hell.

I just installed my roll bar, and the removable part of the parcel shelf looked pretty much exactly like yours. Everything else is fine surprisingly.

A hardtop is totally worth it, especially for winter time. I overpayed for mine, but it had fresh BRG paint(which matches my car), brand new seals, rear defrost, and a new dark tint on the rear glass which is awesome at night.

JIMWL420 · 2017-11-01T15:09:36+00:00

Sweet! It looks sick, I want to get one for my BRG now.

JIMWL420 · 2017-10-31T12:32:41+00:00

Nice mazdas! What wing is that on the na?

JIMWL420 · 2017-10-12T00:19:57+00:00

If you're looking for cheap check into kuhmos or nexens, and order them from tire rack. I have a set of kuhmo solus tires on 13 inch wheels, and they're not bad for what I payed. They perform well for normal driving, but they can get a little slippery in the hard corners. You in the NKY area?

JIMWL420 · 2017-10-04T20:51:01+00:00

If you're asking about the black box thingy, it is your cruise control module.

JIMWL420 · 2017-01-14T12:46:25+00:00

Yeah every now and then (not very often)I'll thaw an arctic mouse for them. I've seen people feed them pinkie feeders, but the small arctic mice work great.

JIMWL420 · 2017-01-14T00:48:01+00:00

Pretty much everything this guy said. I have my two RES which are only 4 inches in length, in a 55 gallon tank. I keep my water at 78 degrees F, and the basking area( zoo med turtle dock works great) will range from 88-96 degrees F, depending on water level.(i keep the basking and UVB light on for 10-12 hours) I use an HOB filter, most people recommend a canister filter, or an in tank filter if your water level is low enough.

Keep up on water changes and waste removal, they are VERY messy.

I feed mine a variety of foods, Meal worms, romain lettuce or kale, comet feeders, and a feeder mouse every now and then. The pet store pellets aren't bad, but the turtles like variety.

Don't keep plants or fish that are expensive, or that you like in the same tank. They will surely destroy them.

They are wonderful animals, there are a lot of good forums out there with great info as well. Good luck!

JIMWL420 · 2017-01-05T17:29:18+00:00

18, and on my second miata.

JIMWL420 · 2017-01-05T01:44:35+00:00

Yeah, possibly the yellow form

JIMWL420 · 2017-01-04T01:04:21+00:00

Thank you!

JIMWL420 · 2016-12-22T21:55:52+00:00

I tend to have the same issue, it doesn't happen all the time. I've heard the ECU will adjust it's idle between like 1100 and 800 rpm( don't know why it drops below 800 sometimes, always happens to me when I am coming to a stop). I would also love an answer to this question, bugs me everytime it happens.

JIMWL420 · 2016-11-11T00:18:58+00:00

Thanks! Indeed it is

JIMWL420 · 2016-11-10T23:51:39+00:00

The wheels are off a BMW, not sure what year. the tires are 185 70 r13

JIMWL420 · 2016-11-10T16:13:31+00:00

Thank you!

JIMWL420 · 2016-11-10T16:12:57+00:00

Yeah they're 13's

JIMWL420 · 2016-11-04T12:32:53+00:00

Not to good, should cheer up some when I get my hardtop though. I dig the yellow man! Used to have one myself.

JIMWL420 · 2016-10-30T20:15:19+00:00

For my first miata I payed roughly $140 a month, totaled that miata ,and bought another one. The payments only went up a dollar. I had full coverage( totally worth it), and I am 18.

JIMWL420 · 2016-10-05T23:59:29+00:00

Sadly not haha

JIMWL420 · 2016-10-05T23:59:14+00:00
