Max Manning (owner): Works at Energy Suspension. "I never used to like Miatas. I was always into V8 cars with big power such as my Corvette! That all changed once I drove a friend's Miata. I was really impressed with the dynamics of the car and how easy it was to drive quickly...

I wasn't looking for a Miata when I came across this one, but I was having trouble with getting the 'vette to pass California SMOG.

I was looking for a cheap car to drive while I got the Corvette running, and the neighbors down to street were fed up with fixing the issues with the Miata so I was able to pick it up for under $1500."
