I feel like there are quite a few of us who own or have owned miatas as well as MB diesels. Kind of a weird inexplicable link between the two different types of cars.

I have a 91 version that I inherited and love, low powered and a little too cute, but what a drivers car! Its just so much fun to drive, I need to get it running again for this season.

I'd drive it to that convention in a second with my dirt bike helmet on and be like 'what up!!!' then those guys would probly beat me lol

My intentions include either getting it running, parting out, or sending it to the junk yard.
