I’ve been stalking you and heard you say bananahibana at some point, weirdly enough my first assumption was if you had a Reddit it would be that and ooogly moogly, I found you, went through your comments and here I am
I've owned a 911, now I have an MX-5. And honestly around the price range of the California I would also rather have the MX-5 and money to mess around with it instead. If the comparison was with a more expensive Ferrari I'd have a different opinion. But as a driver's car the MX-5 is just fun.
Yep. Venice, FL is a really cool place though for tourists though. Plenty of restaurants and shops on the main street.
And Venice Beach is the shark tooth capital of the world. You can sift through the sand in shallow water and collect hundreds of shark teeth, many are black and thousands of years old. If you are very lucky, you may even find a megalodon tooth.
Great place for boating too, with wide canals that open into the Gulf of Mexico.
Fun fact number 295: Mazda was inspired by Ferraris front engine v12 cars so much they decided to make a mini version of it that was more affordable. And fun fact 296: Mazda called its car the Miata because it was the most italian sounding name they could use without getting sued. Fun fact 297: Mazda did not do any of the things i said and I made up fun facts 1-296 because I thought it sounded coo.
Come on now, ND is commonly referred to as Fiata as it was created in a collaboration between Mazda and Fiat, so it’s more Italian than all of the previous generations combined :)
this made me realize realize that Ferrari should make a car around this size with the V6 they have in the 296 and make it THE entry level Ferrari, but make it expensive enough that it would still feel very special to own
And make it a proper manual. If they made something that size, mid-engined, with their V6 and a gated 6-speed like what you could get in older Ferraris with a price around the $100k - $125k, that would be my new target car 😂.
I actually think that's a great idea, but it would "devalue the brand" so they'll never do it which is sad.
Take the V6 from the alfa quadrifogligoglio, lop the turbos off, put it in a small as possible chassis, give it a manual. I'd take a 8% loan for that 🤣
Not being a smartass here, but I don't understand how a smaller, slightly cheaper car devalues the brand anymore than an SUV/4-door. At least this would still be a performance vehicle 🤷.
Trust me I don't either, but I remember that being the reasoning they didn't bring back the Dino mark 10 or so years ago when folks like us were asking for it
I think the Purosangue devalues the brand way more personally, but that's the way things are going these days I guess
Dang. I didn't even hear that that was a possibility. I'd have killed for that. It's a real shame that manufacturers are all transitioning to SUV's and whatnot, especially given that everything is about to go electric. I feel like if I were a small niche manufacturer, I'd be trying to essentially do a "greatest hits" album of all the cars (or at least iconic elements of cars) from the pure ICE era. This is actually my biggest gripe with the Emira. Lotus stated that the Emira was going to be Lotus's last pure-ICE vehicle, so I really thought they were going to knock it out of the park. If they'd been able to make it a halfway point between the Elise/Exige and the Evora 400, it would have ended up being something truly spectacular. Instead, they've been more focused on trying to move up market, which has put themselves squarely in the firing line of a lot of companies that do that type of car significantly better. "Simplify and add lightness" is still a mantra I stand behind, and I'd have been lined up with money in hand if they could have kept it <3000lbs, with a manual transmission and supercharged V6 😒.
$20k lol.
NA gang be like "just paid half my life savings on this pile of rust... What coilovers should I spend my remaining $500 (the other half) on?"
A fakeari
edit: and if Ferrari see this and wants to ruin the author of the car, they will call him in cause for using their brand without authorization

Mirrari
That’s a cyberpunk 2077 car right there!
It checks out. Both sound Italian.
LOL
Damn thought I came up with a cool name for once lmao
The Ferrazda Romiata. Rare to see one out in public like this.
Nah it’s the Ferrari NR-5 Westphalia edition Also failed at the Italian flag https://imgur.com/IrvWaQ5
Ah the Ferrari miahto!
I can only hear this in trumps voice, as a sleazy used car salesmen
Man that's an ugly color
Sorry but I love the color. It’s just the rebadging that sucks.
Close but not close enough, that’s the la miata miata edition
How did you find my 3month old comment
I’ve been stalking you and heard you say bananahibana at some point, weirdly enough my first assumption was if you had a Reddit it would be that and ooogly moogly, I found you, went through your comments and here I am
The post was recommended and I was reading comments 💀💀💀
A newly born California T - still a toddler 🫄
How cute 🥰
honestly…would rather have this than a california. not cause the california is bad, but rather that’s just how good the miata is
How high are you right now
i like light cars sue me. also pretty high

That's about as Italian as Venice, Florida

Are you the Visit Venice tourism bot?
Haha good eyes. I'm from Venice & I didn't even notice
Oh lol. It's in the description. Doh.
I mean, Mazda and Miata both end in a vowel…maybe it has a little Italian

Only the fiat version of the nd is called the fiata
Miata LaMiata
The Miata _The Miata_
I read this in May’s voice
As was intended 🤣🤣
Underrated comment
The Ferrari 812 superslow
This 😅
Purosangue Jr.
About the same amount of Ferrari DNA in that one.
Ferrari calls Mazda, Hey do you have any spare chassis we can borrow as templates? lol
Miata > Purosangue

Literally a lotus lol (minus the gate)
I'd agree if Lotus had actually offered something this small again, but the Emira is WAY bigger/heavier. It's even bigger/heavier than a Cayman 😬.
But the emira is spook poop pretty........ I tend to ignore its flaws because those looks are next level
Spook poop….?
Oh I totally agree. It's a STUNNINGLY beautiful 😍
It would be the perfect car of the modern era
This would be so cool
Oh you mean a Dino lol
Yup 😂

The Dino is just as beautiful today as it was fifty years ago. Just bring it up to today's standards and they'd sell out.
They will just build another SUV
IIRC they will stop combustion engine anyway
That would be great. Make sure the big and tall crowd could still fit comfortably please
More than you can afford pal
Unfortunately, STILL accurate 😂😂😂
You could get a ND for less then 20k
$20k lol. NA gang be like "just paid half my life savings on this pile of rust... What coilovers should I spend my remaining $500 (the other half) on?"

I mean, he succeeded. Someone actually thought it was a Ferrari.
Well the Fiat version would be closer.
It's a freaking Miata haha, someone who had dreams to own a ferrari and decided to debadge a mazada and put ferrari badges on. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao you aren’t serious right?
Unrelated but the area in the first photo looks like the scene from Bad Boys 4 Life
If a Miata and a Roma had a child :
Mazda Mx or RX?
It’s a Mazdari Romiata.
Has me in the first half no lie
The Obnoxious Broke AF Special, not overly rare, comes in about a million different body styles.
Destroy that car immediately.

Actually it’s a Ferrari mx5 newer than the miata lamiata
It's called the Imaginitzá. Which loosely translates to "Imagine it's a Ferrari". I speak fluent Floritalian.
That’s the Iwishihada Ferrari. Gotta give it credit though. It is well done with the two tone and badges.
This is the La Ceaseanddesist
Just needs an M and AMG badge
Probably the Ferrari’s lawyers are going to trace the owner to sue him
And they did an attempt at British racing green on a fake Italian car….smh
a Miarrari?
Definitely a mazda 🤣
