Really? Another Miata thread....

[Goodspeed]

Can someone learn me on why the plate is funny? Are we really lol'ing over calling a Miata fat?

The NC is considered the "fat Miata" because it's really just a shorter RX-8 with an inline four instead of a rotary. It weighs more than some out-of-touch old men on Miata.net think it should so they bitch when they see one "going to the auto cross" or "racing on the Tail of the Dragon" or whatever else. The ones complaining usually have far too much money sunk into their NA's, complete with chrome style bars and quilted seats, or other equally awful mods.

So Ryan is kind of poking fun at that crowd with his itty-bitty-drop-top-no-apex-seals RX-8.

Yeah, these cars are trash.  Please leave them with me, I'll dispose of them.
