Miata as first car? Suggestions?

[Evan]

:dunno: Id call 2 engines, CELs, overheating etc to be pretty atypical of a car that usually takes more punishment than any car Ive ever encountered.

But go ahead and get your feelings hurt if you cant take a light hearted joke. :roll:

Feelings not hurt. Just saying, "bad luck" and "was 100% lied to about the origin of the second motor" are two different things. Turns out it was a quality-unknown junkyard pull that had a bad crankshaft - I was told it came out of a customer's car and only had 60k miles on it. The CELs and overheating all came from that. The motor lasted 2k miles and died as Packer pulled it in to Delta V after he bought it.

yeah man, I feel for you. you have bad luck, kind of a miata curse, that was the joke! :thumbup:
