I was thinking the same thing, I\'d want to change my rotors and paint my calipers first.

I plan on painting the calipers this spring/summer, seeing how they got killed this winter. Rotors will be changed, well in a couple of years.

BTW, thanks for the hookup on the Suzuki stubby, Ryan grabbed one from you for me (Thanks Ryan). Unfortunately I arrived in typical flip fashion, late, and didn\'t meet you.

Yeah I understand, it\'s a flip thing. You set a time and arrive an hour later.:p

I\'m one of those half breeds. Chinese father, Filipino mother.

Can\'t wait to take one for a test drive. Drove a last-gen Miata and it was loads of fun.

There is nothing better than showing on Filipino time..lol :D

Miatas are wonderful. Great balance, lightweight, tremendous aftermarket parts and support and reliable. Unfortunately, you can\'t stuff a lot of baby gear in \'em, so we\'re selling our M2 this summer :(

If anyone has the opportunity to buy a Miata, do it. Soooooo much fun to be had.

[Airman Jack]

unless of course, you\'re 6\'6\", then you either don\'t get a miata, or you learn to love bugs in your teeth and wear safety glasses whenever you go driving with the top down (which is the only way you can fit in the bloody thing anyway) :p

Well, in all honesty, Miatas were not designed for freaks o\' nature...

:D

Yeah, it wouldn\'t be too fun for someone 6\'2\" +++

[Airman Jack]

freak of nature? hey, i fit quite nicely in a 3, it\'s just that I think the Miata was made for the average Japanese person, not a large Dutchman like myself ;) Sadly the only convertables I\'d fit into are Corvette\'s and maybe a Supra...gee, that\'s rough... :p

About the new miata though, I think the side profile is slightly aston martin-ish especially with those big spokey wheels, and the nose reminds me of the Z4 (or was it the Z3?) BMW
