    Bought a "new" 96 Miata...

    I called about a 97 M but the owner had decided not to sell at this time. That was probably a good thing since he said the rockers had been repaired at one time and the repair wasn't great. So I looked around the internet and found a white 96 that had been sitting on a lot for a few months. It has 148,000 miles and the frame rails look great and the rockers are totally rust free and the top is in tip top shape as well. The drivers leather seat looked like it exploded from a massive volcanic fart but other than that the interior looked good. I'm pretty sure the leather indicates a Torsen. It's being delivered tomorrow.

    White with tan interior is a great combo! Aside from volcanic farts that is.

    It's being delivered tonight so I'll try to get some pics when it warms up. It's currently 0 degrees here.
