Educate Me on NC Miata

I needed to keep running costs down for an autocross car, went with an NB Miata. It took me two tries to get it right, but I'm happy with my choice.

Personally, I like NCs, and would vote for one for a multi use car like you're looking for. My totally second hand opinion is that an NC with the right suspension and some good tires would be a better track day car than an NB.

I've never double spaced. I didn't even know it was a thing. My iPhone puts a period down if I tap space twice. Thank god.      Why     Space     Things  more Than necessary?  

Easier to read

 I had a senior moment there.  My email is with yahoo not google.

Everyone assumed you have nothing but senior moments by the use of the yahoo email address. ;) (j/k!)

I don't use a yahoo email address, I retired a hotmail one a few years ago, but I had a shock a bit before that when a millenial joked about how you can tell someone is pretty old if they use two spaces after a period. I looked it up and sure enough he was right, the standard had changed.

It's not my fault that the new so-called standard is wrong.  I usually go with 2 spaces between sentences if I am writing something that is not an email, a text or a field in a spreadsheet.

This is a shocking discovery.  Not to derail this thread, but are there really people who don't double space!  Are millennials really that lazy!?!?!  I double space text messages!

Double space after a period is from using TYPEWRITERS.

I find double-space after a period makes for easier to read paragraphs.  I won't go to single-space unless forced to by written guidance at a paying job makes me.  Texting apps make this very difficult in my experience but most texts I write are not very long so it doesn't matter so much.

I personally liked the look of the early NC Miata's before they got the smiley face grill opening.  These and the NA's look best to me.  Doubt I ever own one but those would be what I would shop for if I went out looking today, with the knowledge that I would have to do some real interior mods to the NA to make enough space to fit (6'4", 36" length pant legs).

Gorgeous s2000!

Anyone know of a tired (cheap) NC near Atlanta/Athens?

Don't tell me, I don't want to know.

I think this is the type of "joke" we see on social media where someone shares a picture of Metallica, but the words say, "You aren't a real country fan if you don't like Pantera."

Here's a joke for you

Correct. The internet joke is that the nc3.5 looks very s2k. Heck, even my nc2 looks close.
