    Preludes are awesome! I’ve got an old Miata that I’ve had for years, similar situation. I’ve thrown a ton of money at it, full well knowing I’ll never see it back. But she’s mine, she runs great, and I have no intentions of selling.

      Hell yeah! I’ve had mine since last summer. I had a 4 speed auto in high school and college, and I always told myself that if I could do it again, I’d get it with a stick so that’s what I managed.

      What gen Miata? I’ve been wanting to drive an NB for a long time, but I can only realistically afford to have one 20+ year old car at a time lol

        Mine is an NA, '95. I really dig the popup headlights. 1995 was a good year IMO. First year with the bigger 1.8, and still had OBD1.

        My brother has an NB for years, so I’ve had plenty of seat time in one of those as well. They feel really similar to the NA, with better suspension travel. Great cars!
