New wheels and pics of JennB's new Mazdaspeed Miata

[Doppelgänger]

So i finally ditched the Enkeis and my grilfriend (JennB) traded in the MINI for a beautiful 2005 Mazdaspeed Miata. So tonight we took a few quick pics of the cars. It was a little on the late side so most of them didn't turn out so great. Also went to The Dragon on sat. and snapped a few pics while ata Fontana Dam.

those are some nice photos!!! both cars are looking good.... do you work near me?? If you go the same way home that you did the time i pulled up next to you... i can tell you a much faster way. you passed my work as i was walking to my car and saw you again crossing an intersection on Ptree ind.

[©hris]

so you must be taking a longer route

[IndianStig]

Do you DD that miata? If so, you need a DD. There's a nice Civic that Stevo's selling, pick it up, i almost did but im poor.

[The Yousef]

mike is ghey....


...that is all

[SEAN]

nice looking cars though her Mini Cooper will be missed...was a sharp looking car...can't wait to see what is in store for the new ride...

[Doppelgänger]

yes the Miata is my DD, has been since i got her. I wish i could afford a cheap 2nd car, but i can't at the moment.

Chris - i take p.hill to some little road the cuts over to p'tree ind. (comes out by QT), take that to just past Sprayglo , hang a right , make a left over the RR and take that all the way to work. Seems to be the best way of the few i have tried. Taking Old Norcross to where it turned in to blahblahblah Bridge road takes too long.

[©hris]

thats the same way i go... but do you go to the light at spalding and 141 when going home??? if you make a left onto triangle parkway/rd/st??? the road next to my work... then right at the stop sign. cross over 141...cross over ptree ind.... then right onto S. Berkley Lake Rd.... it takes you to spalding where you Cross the railroad tracks next to buford highway by spray glow..... avoiding all of the traffic on spalding rd

[Frög]

ahh you two match.. how cute..

i've tried that a couple times. i usually end up taking spalding to where it turns into s. old p'tree, make a left on p'tree ind., go past s. berkley and make a right next to the industrial building and cut over to the road that comes out closist to sprayglo and make a left. So wait.... thats you i get behind now and then right @ spalding and 141?? Work right across from the post office?? You work like right across the street from me lol, im off engineering drive.

Thanks guys for the compliments :)

[Crazy Asian]

You know I saw your car twice...Im the prelude that had the fogs and carbon fiber hood and was silver....and you jacked my wheels. I have the prototype 17inch of the Rota D2 LOLOLO

yeah thats me.... i see you all the time. the reason i asked is because that one time i saw you pass my work... i never actually pulled out of there until about 5 min later and managed to catch up to you. must have just been the traffic that day i guess. there are some cool spots for photos in that area.

[Doppelgänger]

Welcome :)

It wasn't planned for her to get a Miata to match me, its was just the car the happened to fit the bill for her ;)

[Jecht]

[HachiDori]

[JennB]

Well.. umm.. I like them both :thinking:


Anyways, I was ready for a change and it was time to get rid of a car that was giving me a good bit of trouble. I had an 04 MINI S and got the 06 as a replacement once it had some problems. I've learned my lesson this time. Little things were going wrong that should not have happened to a little BMW with only 19,000 miles on it.... actually.. I think it had been in for warranty work at least twice before it even hit 10,000 miles. Then, it was hit in my work parking lot a couple of month ago (my 04 was hit twice... and I got rid of it at 13,000 miles) so I started to have flashbacks of how much trouble I had with that car. Add to that some very mysterious damage to my rear suspension that would have been about $600+ to fix and I was done.

MINIs are really great cars, they drive better than and FWD car I've ever driven and can easily hold their own against almost anything on the road. Mine was modded and I had a lot of work done to it but it came down to a question of how much trouble it was worth. I always said I'd never own one past warranty because the repairs are just insane. Then there I was with an 06 that already had an airbag sensor go bad, door handle mechanisms replaced and still not working right. Sure, it was all repaired for free but still a pain to deal with. I was paying far too much for something that was just annoying the hell out of me. I love the way it looked and the way it drove but oh well.... I expect more from a company like BMW.

Anyways, it was time for RWD. I considered moving up a step to something like an Elise but I need to buy a house soon and be a little more conservative with funds until I have that accomplished. I figure I'll sacrifice a little now to be pretty damn happy in the future. Once I own a garage, it will be time for more toys to fill it.

So the MSM fit the bill.... factory turbo... very easy and affordable to mod... convertible... small. I drove one and loved it and started a search for a black one like I wanted. Other than the quirky reliability of MINIs, they are also very expensive to mod. Example: MINI intercooler upgrade $900, the front mount I'm buying for the MSM $100. I had hit the 180WHP ceiling with the MINI and going any higher was going to cost a lot. With the Miata, I can be at 200RWHP with maybe $1000 and with about $2000 more I'll hit about 240 to the wheels.

I've never owned a 4 door car in my life, I love small and nimble cars and this one seems perfect for me.... plus it's pretty darn nice to have a car that the person I live with can teach me a ton about and do pretty much anything I need done to it.

[Jecht]

:lmfao:

I've actually seen your car once when I was up in Gwinett. I was eating at the Red Lobster across from the BP and when I was leaving I saw you go blaring past me.

[HachiDori]

bring them out and maybe a trip to Downtown for some pics?

[puregroove]

..saw you on pleasant hill last night::: nice miatas...makes me want to give 'em a whirl:::

[Doppelgänger]

yeah, no problem bringing them out for pics :)

Might be a couple weeks, my car is going in the shop for a new clutch and some other small things.

[Doppelgänger]

..saw you on pleasant hill last night::: nice miatas...makes me want to give 'em a whirl:::

'preciate it :goodjob:

[Wal-Mart]

nice, whats that Miata putting to the ground, 300hp? its got to to sping tires like that (your sig.)

[Julio]

congrats! Much better then the mini!

I always said MINI's were pieces of shit. I know a couple of peeps with them and they want to burn it to the ground... lol

[Kyle]

I can't believe she got rid of the mini. :eek:

Anyhow the car looks nice as always, and her car looks good as well. I kinda like your old wheels better though Mike.

[mocha latte cupcake]

bwhahaha mike always jackin someones wheels! but looks awesome man!

jenn - your intercooler is so cute :D congrats~!

cutest little Miata couple evar bwhahaha :D

[JennB]

congrats! Much better then the mini!

I always said MINI's were pieces of shit. I know a couple of peeps with them and they want to burn it to the ground... lol

They actually drive amazingly well and have some really great features. Mine was pretty darn quick. I know a ton of people who own them and have no problems at all, MINIs just hate me. But oh well... I'm really enjoying the new car. I guess it just depends on what kind of flaws people tolerate, some people don't mind a rattle here or a squeek there, I do. The problems I had with my 06 were all small things, but still required a trip to the dealership to fix. Yeah, I got a loaner car and never paid for a penny of repairs or maintenance but still, I have no desire to go to Global Imports more than once a year.

Personally, I don't think many flaws at all are tolerable on a car that is in the price range a MINI is.

[ShooterMcGavin]

what's w/the wing though mike? :thinking:

[Wal-Mart]

i think the wing works well with the rest of the look of the car.

[Ran]

Miata is a hairdresser's car. :ninja:

[K24cb7coupe]

both cars look great, but i think you should put the D2's on the mazdaspeed and lower it.

[Leadfoot_mf]

Miata is a hairdresser's car. :ninja:
is that why you sold yours?

[cactusEG]

i like the new rims.. but not the wing

[Ran]

[Leadfoot_mf]

Yeah, and got a Yaris to make myself feel more manly. :lmfao:
