Another Toy!!!!!! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Today, Lee and I went to pick up my new toy, and soon to be daily driver. I just have to learn how to properly drive it first.

I can drive it, but there are some shakies and stalls. Oh well, here's some beginning pics.

Nothing done to it yet, big plans though!!!!!!

After we took it out to dinner, we decided to shove 3 cars in Lee's tandem 2 car garage..........

Two miata's, and a 6. My other miata is still on the street.

Oh well, I'm fed up with her.

Pretty amazing specimen of the car. First year of the black and tan edition. No accidents on record, and YEARS of regular maintenance records, and mods done to it. Nothing too "aggressive" done to it, but I love it.

My current wheels and tires will be added first and foremost, as I hate these wheels, but everyone else seems to love them. The gold emblems on the trunk will soon be gone too.

Nice addition to the stable.

Love those OEM BBS mesh wheels!

Congrats Cate on the NEW TOY! Looks good....so why are you "fed up" with your other Miata?

those are sweet cars

The BBS wheels will be sold soon, I hate them. Mine is just issues relating to it being auto.

Thanks, everyone.

why are you making the 5 speed a daily instead of the auto

***TrailDust*** · 05-02-2010, 02:14 PM

Congratulations, Cate!

Where'd you find your new baby?

I'm selling the auto. No need for it.

Thanks! A local guy here had it and said he's considered selling it lately, but wasn't going to advertise it until I looked at it first.

We went to see her a total of 3 times, as well as looking at a few others between times before this one was chosen.

First things first!

Gold and wood are GONE!!!!!!!!

The Miata emblem is staying off, and flat black Mazda logo is not currently "permanently" placed, as we are going to wax her up before re-attaching her. Ignore the dust and red tape around it.

You need one of these

***Kiwi-Corolla*** · 05-06-2010, 03:14 PM

The interior looks a lot better now that you have removed the wooden handbrake cover and gearknob. They looked so out of place before

CupCate18 · 05-06-2010, 04:02 PM

I hated them.... And luggage racks, lol.

Might be trading the shift knob and e-brake handle for some cloth seats in black.

Leather = SWEAT galore. Gross.

The handles are ridiculously priced.... Oh well, I hate them, so, cloth is better than me having wood handles by far!!!!!! Win/win situation.

Aww man, the BBS meshies are DOPE!
