Car Forum / Mazda / Mazda Miata / December 2006Latest update on "Miata + Wing" in Austin
Despite the "Huge Tak" and the various miata recipes that are included along with the paint, rims, and even tires, the 1992 "Miata + Wing" that runs like a camp in Austin is still for sale. There have been no problems because the car is still "FAST FAST ANF YUP FERIOUS!!!!!" He has failed to sell the car so far, but people are making fun of his ad in at least three miata discussion forums so far, and I consider that an accomplishment in itself. :-) For those that missed it the first time around, plus I also wanted to give Iva another chance to appreciate the fine spelling and grammar. http://austin.craigslist.org/car/248721000.html Pat Pat wrote: > Despite the "Huge Tak" and the various miata recipes that are > included along with the paint, rims, and even tires, the 1992 "Miata [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > http://austin.craigslist.org/car/248721000.html Are you counting the LVMOC discussion forum in those three? If not, please do so - we've had a lot of fun with this one. And my 4-year old nephew does better with spelling than that poor guy. Probably because he (my nephew)doesn't have a Huge Tak. <G> Iva & Belle.) '90B Classic Red.) #3 winkin' Miata > And my 4-year old nephew does better with spelling than that poor > guy. Probably because he (my nephew)doesn't have a Huge Tak. <G> Anyone wonder if maybe it's just smart marketing? The guy's had thousands of dollars worth of publicity just from the donw force alone... If he advertised a "1992 Miata with custom paint, turbocharger and wing for $6,500" would anyone notice? As it is, hundreds of people know about the car who wouldn't otherwise and if he gets his price he'll have the last laugh, won't he? Good point! I once worked for an Italian guy who's english language skills varied day by day depending on the situation! Got him allot of attention. He's rich now.

I think that all three of you made very good points. Now I am off to buy the biggest "TAK" I can find, hopefully the largest ever made for any industrial application, even if I have to leave the top down and give up the passenger seat for it to fit. I am not going to have Mr. Miata + Wing outdoing my ego like that.... The sad thing is, if he had never put those yellow wheels on there and had not spent money on that ridiculous wing to provide "donwforce at about 160 mph", it would have probably sold quickly, assuming that it doesn't have something like a carfax history showing a bad wreck or something like that. A well-maintained 1992 with that many miles will still get $3000.00 or more. His should easily fetch double that if so many people weren't "pointing when they see it". Pat Hay Pat, I think I can get you a good deal on a wing of a DC-3 that has been around tha airport here for a long time. They would give it to you I think, just to get it off the land. :-) (Would that be a big enough wing ??? ) Bruce Bing '03 LS Ya but he might have to install it only for circle track work due to the symmetry or lack there of. I can see the vanity plate now: WIDE LOAD Chris 99BBB > Hay Pat, I think I can get you a good deal on a wing of a DC-3 that has > been around tha airport here for a long time.

You see giant wings every day on cars, but how often do you see a "HUGE TAK"? I will, however, one-up the guy. I will put that wing on my miata and I will also replace the passenger seat with a TAK that is at least three feet across. Then I will have the hugest TAK and wing in Austin! I wonder how much donwforce that wing will produce. Pat > I will also replace the passenger seat with a TAK that is at least three > feet across. Then I will have the hugest TAK in Austin! That would be the famous cheerleader "Tanya Allison Knickle" ??? > I wonder how much donwforce that wing will produce.

This is nearly identical to the "Miata + Wing" on the outside, it is at least as ugly. Still, the single worst part to me is seeing that Nardi wood shift knob in a black cloth interior. It looked so ugly coming stock on the '96M that I replaced it within a month, but this is even more horrifying against a black background, imho, of course.
