I had a Miata roller and engine to put in it. But oneday I had my garage door open and some passer-by rang my doorbell and offered me much more than I was prepared to say yes to lol.

I have a soft spot for Chevy Celebritys.  They're the American Lada:  Kind of crappy, but they just work, even when they shouldn't.  Bonus points if it has the Iron Duke.

 

But in the SAAB 900 Turbo.... it isn't soft.

I would like to point out, that this post was assuming that the GRM Fleet was some alternate-universe thing, since this thread came out at the same time as the one about the fake GRM forum set up by spammers.

 

I would like to clarify for the record that while I appreciate the cockroachness of the Celebrity and the quirkiness of the SAAB, there's no way I'd spend money for either one on purpose.

I owned a Ford Courier for about s month once, but that is about as close as I got to Mazda.  I learned while painting it that Ford (Mazda) had punched the holes for the hood letters like this  .  .

So FORD quickly became DORF.  Ahh, to be 18 again...

The real question is how many Jaaagggggs do we have?

Don't own and never had the urge for a Miata, the 914 is enough.  SUV & a truck for DD.  BMW R-90 and old Goldwing keep me busy enough.

I am thinking about a project but exactly what changes hourly

I'm betting Miatas are 15% or less of the total.

I have 11 cars and none of them are made by Mazda.

I have a Mazda, but it's a Ford Ranger.

I say cast out those who will not pledge fealty to Mazda!

Well cast me out then!!

I'm 6'4" and about 325 lbs. I'm not about to try to squeeze my carcass into a Miata!!

I think the alternate universe Bobsilla would have a fleet of Hondas and Dodge trucks and he'd hate on anything not Honda. But then again in alternate universe Honda is an up and comer and the Korean Twins have had market share dominance for decades.

I just imagined some centaur type stuff. Yikes.

I'm a little bored at work so I just added a bunch of my cars to the garage. However, they block image hosting so it's like a car show in braille.

I've never owned a miata. Or any mazda.
