This fills me with so much glee ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

I want a miata so baaaad. Hopefully a first gen is still reasonably attainable by the time I can afford to go buy a car I'm in love with

I do to, however I'll probably end up with an NB as the prices keep going up I remember when an NA was 3-5K, now it's like 15K+ here in Australia. And an NB starts at 10K the prices are already running away from me.

Yeah :( an na is my dream car. The situation is very similar here in the USA

Sending love your way from across the ocean, hope you have a good one man :)

Yeah they're definitely getting up there in price. I had a 2019 and then my company went completely remote in 2020. Ended up finding a clean, low mileage NA and sold the ND to buy it. Haven't looked back.

I hope you're able to get an NA as they are so much fun, but a Miata is a Miata and they will all bring a smile. NBs and NCs are getting cheap right now. You can always use one as a stepping stone too.
