What exactly makes the Miata a rainbow magnet in your collective opinions? Is it the diminutive size, the proportions, the shape, the way the manly driver tries to get your digits? I mean, there are other cars similarly sized that don’t provoke the same reactions. I’m curious because I don’t recall the Miata being marketed as a “chick” car. Was it? Also, I know we are in America and all, but I’d like to point out that the car doesn’t get this rap in other countries, so this makes me wonder if it’s a “size” and/or “power” thing. Discuss. ---

VW Jetta is the most popular car in San Francisco… Miata just became the token gay car for no apparent reason. ---

I’m a girl, so even if I say I like a Jetta or a Miata… it’s not gonna matter. Cause they’re classified as chick cars, or gay man cars. :sad ---

> [@skateshelter](#): > > ok thanks i mean there easy to turbo my auto teacher said he has one thats turbo and he didnt himself for under a grand and his shit moves. Curious, does he talk with a lisp and walk like he just had a dick in his ass before class? 🙂 Seriously…fun to drive…great for autoX and road race… but on the street, you can be as confident as you want…hell, drive a pink one… but that wont change the mere fact the rest of the world thinks your a tinkerbell. Its too bad really… that a good platform takes alot of investment to make it look cool… but it can be done…somewhat. Dude, if Swift won’t do it… no one should. ---

i think stock miatas need help, but somehwat modded theyre quite nice. example as follows ![http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a229/racer_86/Eunos%20Pics/IMG_0092.jpg](http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a229/racer_86/Eunos%20Pics/IMG_0092.jpg) ![http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a229/racer_86/photoshoot02-09-07039.jpg](http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a229/racer_86/photoshoot02-09-07039.jpg) this is rigged for touge, so its not all that great for dragging. ---

They must have done something right, cause those little buggers are still worth a good amount of money. Even older pretty hurt ones… ---

Yep, the little buggers hold their value pretty damn well. I’ll have to dig through the HD and find some photos that you shouldn’t look at because they are such chick cars even chicks don’t want them. ---

mr2 spyders are a great alternative to the miata, miatas are cool also but require serious money for someone to be seen in them ---

I think the MR2’s are even fruitier than Miata’s. Both make Fiero’s seem almost manly. ---

If so, he’s a good friend of mine. His car hauls ass and he put the turbo setup together for very cheap. He is also on this forum, but doesn’t frequent much. I believe he is on his second turbo Miata. ---
