May I suggest the handsome combination of Silver and Black? This would show a Commitment to Excellence, and when you track the car, you'd Just Win Baby!

Smokie- I wasn't directing that torwards you!

Having a car that clean is a very hard task to achieve and sustain. Your worst enemy in having a clean older car, is previous owners. If I could have bought my car new on the floor, it would still look like the day it came off. Unfortunately, I had 2-3 previous owners who didn't care.

Go for black. The factory painted it that color for a reason; it's simple and looks good.

I was wondering about this the other day, with the flex that a sway bar undergoes, how long will the paint actually last?

10 to 20 years like the factory paint.

Hey Beotch, how dare you question my manlihood and call my miata cute. Now I'm considering painting my rear sway bar a lovely shade of magenta so you can enjoy it's supreme manliness as I show you my tailights at laguna in January. (Althought I am torn between the heart warming magenta and the racy lemon chiffon, I feel that the mauve taupe will be much easier to keep clean.)

You will be enjoying the aroma of every last bit of the monstrous torque produced by the 1.8L of pure fire breathing muscle under the hood as I dive bomb you going into the corkscrew.

I just fell out of my chair at this post.


I suggest fueling your 1.8L behemoth on nothing but crushed rocks. Not only will it produce a nice sound in the exhaust it will silence anyone's doubts about your manliness.

Thanks you skunk. Now I am starting to miss my Miata.

It was so cute and cuddly and zippy and fun and great to drive. Not that the civilized 330 Ci isnt fun, its just not as much fun, even with the top down.
