+1 with DJ & Blair. Its a Miata, not a collectors car.
Now, if you have / want a car that is a garage queen (like my next door neighbor's C6) go ahead and paint the Miata. Maybe it is your thing :dunno: . Here are a few tips if this is really what you want:
-Make sure you only drive it on sunny days, and only on back roads to avoid rock chips.
-Parking lots, rain, city traffic and AutoX / race events are out of the question - they might damage your car's appearance.
-You must wax and wash the car more than you drive it. Preferably every 2 or 3 days, even if it you only drove it one mile.
-Post more photos online of your car than your car has miles on it.
