Holy crap, I don't know which is more painful to see, the spelling or
the miata. It is actually advertised as a "The ultimate miata + wing".
Unbelievable.

The wing helps with downforce at "around 160 mph".
If that doesn't sell you the car, it has a HUGE TAK!
Come on, he has recipes for the car, those must be tasty, plus it has
both paint AND wheels. You really gotta check it out.

I have definitely not seen this one around town, I would not only
remember it, I would have nightmares about it.

Get rid of the wing, remove the yellow strips and paint the wheels
black and would be a nice car. Can't see how tacky the interior is though.

Yeah, it actually looks a lot like my car if I had some extra money and
some really bad ideas on modifying the looks.

If he enjoyed the car, more power to him, but I agree with Don, I don't
think that many people were pointing out of love for the car.

I could strip the vinyl, swap the wheels, and swap the trunk lids in a
single afternoon. I wonder if it has working A/C.

Speaking as a former English major, believe me, the spelling is worse.
I realize that folks can make typographical errors but this seller has
gone out of his way to do so!

Holy crap.  

If the car wasn't enough the typos alone are worth a look.

And most importantly "The car is FAST FAST ANF YUP FERIOUS!!!!!".

Hey, it "runs like a camp" too.

OTOH, if you took off the wing, re-painted the trunk lid, and
did something about the wheels, you'd have a darned nice car.
Although I'm a bit worried about the "race seats & belts".  If
they were done with similar taste, that might be a problem.

<snicker> "Runs like a camp and will take to YOUR mechanic"

<heheheheheheh>
So it doesn't move (unless there's a high wind?) and he'll deliver it to
YOUR mechanic? (presumably so he can make it move for you, 'cause his
mechanic has given up in frustration?)

(Hint to the seller: Everyone may be pointing, but it ain't love...
Notice that they're all laughing?)

Johhny can't read hell... Johnny can't WRITE!)

Yay donw force!!

Now that there's a car for a college football fan.  You take it to the
game and park it in the grass lot.  Get out your cooler with the beer,
burgers, hot dogs and bar-b-q.  Heat up the underside of that snazzy
mobile grille with a Bernzomatic, then sizzle all them goodies up on top
and serve em up to your friends.  Add beer, scarf em down yum yum!, then
go to the game and yell "Go Gators!!!1!" until you're hoarse.  Tailgate
heaven!

Ya there was allot not to like between the owner and the mods but I couldn't
help noticing how clean and tasteful the engine bay is. To me, that tells
allot about the level of care this crazy dude might show this 'wild ride'.
Interesting.

It is much prettier than my engine bay. The thought defintely has
crossed my mind, it is a low-milage car, has a lot of money put into it,
and is selling for $6K, or about double the blue book value.

Like I said, the things that I find objectionable are easy to reverse. I
even have all of the parts to restore any interior travesties unless
they required major modification, which is possible since it has a "HUGE
TAK". ;-)

These are getting quite common here in NZ on various cars, obviously made by
The Ugly Wing Company for people with no style.
Chris D'Agnolo - 18 Dec 2006 02:29 GMT
Or as we say here "for people with more money than sense".

Everyone points at it because it looks so hideous, not because it's cool.
