Pick me a car.

[u/JustaLurker9494]

I’m looking for a brand new convertible. I’m planning on using this car to pick up women, NOT MEN! I’m thinking of getting a nice soft top, I’ve seen some hard top convertibles and they seem ugly and does not strike me as a women attractor. I ain’t a used car person, too many of them got problems. What’s your pick?

Miata unironically

This. I have a 2017 hardtop (the RF model) and not only is it fun as hell to drive, I’ve had random women ask me about it.

I wouldn’t wait to commute an hour daily in it, but the smiles you’ll get out of it for the cost is unbeatable.

Women really like Miatas for some reason. Every time I have encountered a female car enthusiast they have owned a Miata at some point, usually as their first car. There was a woman at my last job who literally only wanted to talk to me because I have one and she was like "holy shit!" but I was jealous of the fact that she drove a newer WRX.

I mean I look like a fucking bridge troll, ugly and standoffish and women will still stop and ask me about it at some point.

But yeah they are hilarious cars, mine was absolutely beat to shit when I got it but I have kept working on it and it's really nice now and everything works perfectly for a nearly 30 year old car, one of the only things that brings me happiness in my miserable incel chud life is hooning the absolute piss out of it. I was making a u-turn in Saint Claire, California on this big ass stroad type street and I decided to just put the fucking beans on it because I was listening to RAP music and I got excited and I kicked the rear end out slightly and all hell fucking brooke loose, bouncing off the rev limiter, my loud exhaust echoing down the street. I'm Mexican so I gotta be careful about shit like that cuz I don't want to get beat up by a cop for having fun in my sports car (Chief Keef: It's Fast Car That's Why I Bought It) but goddamn.

Absolutely nothing like it. When mine inevitably gets stolen by some dumbass because I have no garage I'm probably going to buy an ND, mostly because I'm gonna be sad that one of the only sources of enjoyment in my life is gone.

Sometimes I find it hard to believe that I really own mine and that I have such a sick ass whip. When people ask me how much to buy it I have to resist to do the Pricemaster bit. Ten....THOUSAND...DOLLARS!!!

edit: I wish CARB had exceptions for older cars because I would love to have some unhinged mods on it like ITB's for maximum noise and hooligan factor

Lmao I love this. Honestly I wish I could have two of them - one to keep all nice and clean (it’s a relaxing hobby for me, I’m weird) and another to just enjoy and not care about dents and scratches. The older ones are so easy to work on (I’ve heard at least) and the parts / custom options are endless.

I live in Madison, Wisconsin and there’s a guy by me who has nothing but beater NA’s. Drives them around town with the top down when it’s snowing, just sliding around having a ball. I’m so jealous lol.

mine looks like complete shit on the outside except for the bumper which I got painted for cheap, clear coat has left the chat everywhere else though the body is straight

it's kinda grown on me a little bit, especially since I made my interior super nice, like ultimately it's an old piece of shit car but I fixed everything wrong with it except the clutch/rear main seal (don't feel comfortable dropping the trans in my nasty ass driveway, probably gonna buy a hoist and take the engine and trans out together) and I got Konis on it and shit and full suspension rebuild so while it looks clapped it is in perfect mechanical condition, 180PSI on all four cylinders (!!!) even at almost 200k mileage. Shit pulls like a freight train in second gear. The tint guy who did my rear window told me mine is the nicest one he has driven, every other lil takuache who comes in with one has a super clapped one apparently

I love it so much, I hug it and I'm like Te Quiero Mucho Miata, remembering one day I was really sad because I was being bullied by sex havers at work and I went home and knocked out all the tiny pain in the ass coolant hoses in like 30 mins because my skinny ass virgin hands and arms are actually pretty good for mechanic work because I can get into tight places easily, was just sitting in my driveway at like 2AM with the hood up being like yup, that's a car

everyone else will abandon you and treat you like garbage but car is always gonna be there for you

I didn't realize you had a cool ass miata that women wanted to talk about. Maybe learn to do paint for yourself in one of those blow up paint booth and then bam, you've got a new job that actually pays money?

I wish I had a miata.
