Welp, This build thread was short lived. On the Night of me creating this thread I was in a rear end collision. I was turning right into my friends gated community entrance at about 10-15 MPH and a guy in the left lane decided he didn't want to be in that lane anymore and I can only assume he was texting because my trunk was not hit and why the hell would someone just drift over like that on a wide open road.

The damage does look pretty bad and it is because insurance deemed it totaled. But I was able to drive it home 32 miles the way you see it and no rubbing at all and it drove straight which amazed me. I am just happy I am ok and that my wheels and hardtop are unscathed. the other car was a 2014 Buick Verano and his only damage was him loosing his emblem.
But this accident I wasn't as mad as I thought I would be because I really wanted to start fresh with another miata specifically a BRG. Thankfully Randy (PhatMiata) was able to find the BRG I now own near him in Tampa. I drove up picked up the car, went to Randy's and geeked out about his miata and drove it all the way back to Miami.
This car was a great car and daily driver but I am just thankful I am alive and thankful I can keep building miatas for years to come.
