This is my voice, one day after living in Wisconsin.
This is my voice, one week after living in Wisconsin.
Oh, hey there, Bud.
This is my voice 30 days after living in Wisconsin.
I was thinking, we could go over and do some ice fishing.
Grab some Leinenkugel's
and maybe head over to the bar once we're done.
Jump on some more snow mobiles
and just rip around, don't you know?
I was thinking, maybe we could even go down south
and look at the nice weather.
So that we could just get out tan on, you know?
We just get nice and white up here with all the snow.

Welcome to our new series, So You Want.
Where we talk about you wanting to do stuff.
You know, like, buying cars,
changing tires, modifying stuff.
That's it, that's the sales pitch.
Right, so kick it off to start the series.
We're talking about you wanting to own a Mazda Miata.
You know, the little guy with the happy headlights.
I mean, pretty much Miata's
have been around for a long time.
Starting back at the N-A series in 1989.
To the N-D model that you can find
cruising through the California hillside.
Miata's have had a bit of a confusing childhood.
It looks like a soft, simple roadster.
But as she got older, she changed.
She cut her hair, put her makeup off,
put her makeup down.
And turned into that angsty teenager
that listened to way too many, A Day to Remember, song.
So, that attitude began to grow on like,
the angsty automotive teenagers of the early 2000s.
Now, let me take you back to the days of like,
Myspace, privately owned YouTube and BlackBerry's,
if you remember what that was.
You could pick up a 1995 Mazda Miata
for pennies on the dollar.
Like, clean, no issues, L-S-D, for like, two grand.
Because they were produced so much
that they never really even depreciated.
But the problem is, is that,
no automotive guy gave a (bleep).
I mean, they were a soft, slow convertible.
Pretty much just everything opposite of a masculine car.
And not that you need to drive a masculine car
to be a man in 2019.
Do what you want.
But then, something switched.
Myspace, music choices and topic friends were switched
to the book of faces.
YouTube was bought and all of a sudden,
there were these things called,
Copyright Claims.
Car guys and gals wanted to buy a cheap car
but didn't really wanna worry about reliability.
They wanted to modify a car
but be okay with their aisle nine AutoZone parts,
not ruining something expensive.
It was the early 2010s
that people began to take Miata's
and modifying everything about them
to make them into something neat.
Want a aggressive 350 Z, but couldn't afford it?
Buy a Miata and do the Wink mime.
Enjoy (mumbles) 3,000 convertible, but couldn't afford it?
Buy a Miata and never put the top up.
Want the speed of an Audi T-T,
but couldn't afford the maintenance?
Because Audi T-Ts were a hot piles of hot garbage
back in the day?
Not that I'm biased.
But you could buy a Miata
and supercharge it for half the price.
At the same time,
people realized that Miata's
were actually incredible cars to modify and own.
They were a low-maintenance,
had a massive platform of mods
and can take an absolute beating.
And they were still a pretty good performance vehicle.
I mean, in terms of driving and ride quality,
you really couldn't beat it.
And now, we're here, 2019.
Somehow, the government is still shutting down,
I still can't grow facial hair
and the Mazda Miata is still one of the most achievable,
modifiable platforms in the entry-level car market.
So, you wanna own a Mazda Miata.
Go for it, it's a fun car that gets made fun of by people
that have never owned one.
They're typically overpriced.
They almost always have R-P-F ones.
And they are still one of the most fun cars to modify.
Miata's sit at one of the most popular modified vehicles
with most of them sitting on B-C Racing Coilovers,
Federal 595 tires and R-P-F ones.
If we had any tips
before you were planning on picking up one,
drive it first.
They really aren't fast,
they aren't aggressive,
they aren't luxurious and they aren't big.
If anything else, they're a Hot Wheels sized car
that moves as fast as the ever depreciating
decline of hair in the places I do want.
But hey, if you're good with that,
you probably won't be disappointed.
But trust me, if you drive one, you will fall in love.
You'll look away,
when other people like Camaro owners and Mustang owners
are looking at you and laughing at you.
But you're gonna smile because you're driving a Miata.
And I promise,
that if you have a Miata and you're driving it,
you will be smiling.
Because there's never been a time
that anybody's been in the Miata
and they haven't been smiling the entire time
they've been driving the car.
So, you want to own a Mazda Miata?
I mean, go nuts,
just remember, it's a tiny little (tone beeping).
It's not a big guy,
it's not a fast guy,
it's not an angry-looking guy.
But if you wanna make it one,
you actually probably can.
And it's probably one of the best places you can start,
if you're looking to modify a car.
So, if you have a Mazda Miata,
drop a comment below on what you own.

tires and suspension for your Miata,

We hope you guys enjoyed this.
But, I mean, you know,
I threw a sales plug in there, I get it.
It's not what you guys wanna hear.
But at least, it's not a (bleep)
60 second Squarespace episode
where I talk about how you can save 10%
by switching over to Squarespace.
I'm not even promoting the (bleep) company.
And somehow, I'm still talking about their sales pitch.
So, you know what?
No, go check out fitmentindustries.com,
subscribe to the damn video
because that's just what we're gonna do.
And I'm just you (bleep) alright?
We'll do it live.

We will see you later.
Peace.
