    Hey a lady in my miata club needs this, her driveway is really long and steep and all the rain has washed part of it out.

    I thought I would hate this but I don't. I was surprised to see an NB as I am so used to seeing NA's being abused. This reminds of a Jeep. The open top feeling and minimalist approach are things the Jeep and Miata have in common. I guess if you have the skills to do this and the platform is cheap enough . . . why not?

    I bet that would be crazy-fun. Wonder if the power plant has been upgraded to make it more capable.

    I've always wanted a 4x4 miata. There are 2 in San Diego, and one of them uses Samurai parts.

    There should be one with a roll cage and a bikini top . . . and take the doors off.

    If it rains any more in Tampa, this would be the Miata to have.

    My 10 year son just called it a Miaonster truck. I laughed.
