96 Montego, replacing a 95M... I miss: My running peeps in Tampa, running barefoot @ Clearwater Beach and First Choice BBQ, in Brandon. In So Cal I miss: The Malibu Canyons, CA 33 and In & Out Burgers ! I'm from Tampa, if I was from Tampa Bay, I'd be a fish!
Interesting choice.
Wait, the roadster that Phat built himself?

Blimey this and the Blue Potato were iconic cars for me from you guys stateside on roadsters done right. Sorry to see both with parts removed to varying extents.

This is sad for sure!
Don't bring up the blue potato, sadly I have to see what's left of that car all the time and it's in rough shape....
For the love of all that is Miata-related, I hope if someone buys the car "outright" that it isn't some teenage hipster. I understand a car is a car, but it'd be such a shame to see another beautiful car go to waste.

Steve told me the car was already sold.
Next up for sale: Sharka.
Honestly, I'd sell my Miata if I had the chance to get a 911. Anyday.
My build thread and my Instagram.
That was a nice roadster, I would have kept it even if I wanted to get s 911. I would use the roadster for track and DD beater and the 911 for mostly track .However, wouldn't go too crazy on the Porsche at HPDE, too much at stake. Most people that I meet at the track use their miata more, but sometimes go a bit easy on their Porsche for the same reason. Maintenance is crazy on those German toys, at least for me until I finish school.

Nicest looking Miata that ever has been, IMO
Just another cracka azz cracka with an Old Beat up '97
Request to change this thread title to include the name "Rooster".
And, yup, sale pending. The new owner seems to be the type to continue the legacy. He is buying it mostly as is with very little parting out being done
Please tell me you're buying a 911.
I think I'd kill myself if you bought a Cayenne or Boxster.
My build thread and my Instagram.
Sharka will be for sale when I'm no longer breathing. I'd rather cut off an arm.
And Steve - hope the sale goes through for ya!
As for the rest of this thread, I feel the need to put in my 2 cents.
Randy's car was always an inspiration to me. A hero car. Seriously, not just saying. Phat, TBP, and Hakuna were 3 of my very first Roadster Muses. I loved them immensely. Each were drooled on over the net for many hours, both late night and at work.
When I got the chance to see THE PhatMiata in person I was giddy. You know... getting to meet one of your heroes. It's a big day. And then Rooster drove up.
It really wasn't the same car. Steve changed enough on it that it ceased to be PhatMiata and became Rooster. I feel confident saying that due to how big a fan I was. I might not have known EVERY mod on PhatMiata, but I knew most mods at a glance. They had changed. The car grew.
Steve really took the car and made it his own. It actually evolved. One of my hero cars became something greater. It really wasn't Randy's car anymore. It was Rooster. I think I attempted to babble this out to Stoly over dinner once. Not sure if it was successful either then or now. To sum up, it was the exact opposite of what happened to The Blue Potato.
So, I disagree with the thread title. The original PhatMiata hasn't existed in a long time. It evolved into something else. Something more.
