I bought a 1993 Miata from a customer for my younger son while he was a senior in high school in 2005. It was a totaled wreck and I purchased it from the customer for scrap. We replaced the nose and one front fender and hood and had the car painted. Griffin drove the car as a senior and then thru a couple of years of college. We stored it while he was at culinary school in Manhatten and thru his internships in Italy. He took it to a Jersey City while working his first job in NYC but the street urchins destroyed the soft top. Then he was T boned by a GMC totaling it for a second time. I rebuilt it again and then we stored it in our barn with the Porsches. This year we replaced the timing belt, water pump, clutch, shocks and new mag wheels and tires. Ten years later and at 185,000 miles, it is still a blast to drive. Griffin drove it to Miami for the summer and then returned to Vermont for a spell. He now has a hard top on it and it is back in JC. The WarHorse Miata. Truly an amazing car. The most fun that you can have at legal speeds.
