Got my dream car with 34k miles earlier this year. Currently closing in on 39k.

    wow! what year? 34k is insanely low, i can imagine it was either meticulously kept or you have had to deal with a lot of updating…

    either way, beautiful! i’ve always been a fan of pop up headlights.

      It’s a 1994 and I’m the third owner. First owner bought it new and sold it in 2020 with only 15k miles. Second owner put about 19k on it in a year, then I bought it.

        Awesome, that means the previous owner should’ve sorted anything out from it sitting. Good deal!

    Nice! I wish I had the patience to learn how to drive a Manual. And the money for one too. My first cars I tried to learn in were a 91 Miata in Mariner Blue, and an 02 Miata in the purple-ish color I don’t remember the name of.

    The 91 was my dad’s, and the 02 was my mom’s. They both got totalled in Hurricane Harvey, but my dad and I still drive Mazda’s. My college car was a 2014 Mazda 2, and after the Miata got totalled, my dad got a 2013 Mazda 3. When I graduated College in 2020 we swapped cars and both are still on the road today! I’m about to hit 130k!

      I learned to drive manual in my friend’s car. When in doubt rev it up and dump the clutch.

      My sister bought a manual without knowing how to drive one.

      It’s not that hard
