Oh Lawd, I do believe I've heard it all now. *I claim no, indeed I heartily disclaim, any connection whatsoever with this. Post for amusement only. Continue reading at risk of nausea and vomiting. The mind boggles.

CL Memphis ad:

"Title: One of a kind Pink Custom Miata Mileage: 23,304 miles Vehicle Information: VIN: JM1NB3534X0113125 Features: Body type: Convertible Engine: 4 Cylinder Exterior color: Other Transmission: Manual Fuel type: Gasoline Interior color: White

Your chance to own a one of a kind custom pink Miata! This car is a definite head turner! Only 23K original miles, never driven in the rain or snow. Always garage kept under cover.I had all the work done at the best paint shop in the area. The car was originally red with black interior and a black top. I had it painted with a custom mix pink color. I had the black top replaced with a plum canvas top. The seats were recovered with white leather and pink piping. The black carpet was replaced with light grey carpeting. The black interior was professionally sprayed light grey. I have put custom rims with pink painted centers to match car color and replaced front and rear emblems with pink Swarovski crystals.

Wow, that's not exactly doing the stereotypical Miata driver image any favors. I don't even think a turbocharger could save that car.

Dare I ask for pictures?

perfect car for the gay pimp?

Swarovski crystal emblems.

No pics were posted, so I kept my dinner down.

The gays have pimps now?

There's a pepto-bismol pink Miata here in town. The girl who owns is (I think she's graduated from high school now) loves it. More power to her.

We do the maintenance on the car. Our mechanic completely refuses to do test drives on it.

Quick hide that ad. Do you realize what the drivers of all the other cars will be saying about Miata drivers? Wait, they already are.

I take it none of you guys have ever seen this:

But this one is OK, it has bubbles on it. And it is clearly angry, from the name, meaning it is probably being driven in anger. Which is good.

There's a pink Miata that runs around here. Not painted pink, just a remarkably faded red. Has big cheezy gold colored mudflaps and even cheezier big hubcaps painted gold.

It's not the pink that bothers me. Even the plum top can be replaced easily enough. It's the sprayed interior that's going to look like crap permanently.

Well, let's put it this way... they're asking $4100 for a '99 with 23k and I wouldn't touch it with a stick. A guy's gotta have some standards.

I highly suspect that the custom rims are those aftermarket flower daisy rims that you also see on VW Bugs. My guess is white with pink centers.

The bubble car should be logoed Mr. Bubble. "Makes getting clean almost as much fun as getting dirty."

There used to be a Pink Panther pink Spec Miata that would run around here. I don't know what became of it.

My first beetle(1973) was pink back 97. Yea guys would make fun of me, but they had a 4x4 full of guys I had a pink bug with some girls in it. They did not like it when I would point out that they look'd more geaay then me. hahaha rednecks.

Bored/stroked 302 (turbo(s) poking out of the hood, glowing red hot?), side pipes, full cage, impossibly low suspension, fender flares, extremely wide flat black rims, stripped interior (paint the tub pink, upholster the race seats and cage in thick pile white shag), super dark window tint...

That should do the trick.

pics from the CL ad, which is definitely spam as I've seen it on every CL site in New England.

There is a Pepto-Bismol colored F-150 in my school parking lot every day.

Some girl around here drives a pink H2.

Ugh..

I'm so homo, I still like it, LMAO! Well, it wouldn't look bad with a chick behind the wheel . . .I wouldn't personally autocross it, but I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to drift it at an event . . .yeah . . .I can't save myself from this at all, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It's not as bad as I was afraid it would be. I figured it would look more like this:
Nov. 23, 2008 3:49 a.m. Luke Dork

I'd drive it. There, I said it. It's not actually that bad.

In fact, pink on white Miata with something called swarovski crystals affixed to it + FM V8 kit = awesome

Honestly, I'd take a pink miata with a v8 and those ronal wheels. Much laughing would ensue, but how does the guy in a mustang or vette explain to the attractive jailbait in his passenger seat how he lost a drag race to a pink miata with bear wheels? That would make it all worth it. Then again I also want to auto-x an ice cream truck, so it's possible I'm a bit odd.
