Best Miata Insults?

Your Miata looks like a Toyota Spyder.

@nelix, I thought we were insulting Miatas here, not Spyders!

Besides, your boxster looks like a Spyder too! 🤣

This is a hard one. Its a thin line that could be crossed easily. For example, I might have just pissed in nelix' beer...

Note on the back that says "When I grow up, I want to be an MR2."

"I wanted a mid-engine, but all I got was this useless trunk."

"I can do more than a Spyder... I can get groceries."

"My trunk is bigger than my cabin."

"Still rockin' the 9" rims like its 1989."

"Its ok if you thought I was an overgrown bar of soap, it happens all the time..."

"Miata, proudly carting hairdressers and dental hygienists world-wide since 1989." (That one was too easy)

Do you have a matching purse with that Miata. 

 In all seriousness the Miata is a better car in many ways than our Spyder.  

One of the best things about the car is the anti negative stigma that can distinguish real enthusiasts from  fake posers that don't turn wrenches.     

I've owned a Miata so can't really comment.

Its hard to be objective about a car that just doesn't fit you. I read wonderful things about the suspension design of the last two versions. Looks awesome, but...

I test drove an NC a few months ago during a shameful moment of weakness and simply hated the cabin. Couldn't get past that part long enough to give it a fair shake. The paddle shift was annoying too, but that's not limited to just the mx5. We have those too.

This is supposed to just be good-natured ribbing, tho.

So, as for the replies your friend might put on your Spyder:

Wow, you got that whole six pack home in one trip? Impressive...

Ooh, looks like you got the last one... is that serial number 000004, or 000005?

I always did like a little platinum ceramic dust in my oil, makes it kinda crunchy...

(Any number of jabs about it looking like a small amphibian)

When I grow up, I want to be a Porsche. (But how will I gain 1,000 pounds by then?)

Hey, I think your Celica cheated on you with a Corolla and a Karmann Ghia. Just sayin'...

The Spyder gets almost no love from car enthusiasts when it came out and we had it especially harder then any Miata stigma. The MK2 guys hated us with a passion and other enthusiasts couldn't take us seriously. You already knew what a Miata was. 

The absolute worst were those that thought bought the car thinking they would be a big fish in a small pond and ended up looking like idiots when early adopters had them beat because they were smarter. It still goes on today with someones ambitious project car that takes three years to be half way completed. 

I wanted an S2000 before I got my Spyder.  Now I'm glad I didn't.

I never considered a Miata, although I am considering one as a future vehicle.  I don't like the looks of the early generation models.  

They're good cars, can't really think of any insults.

After 19 years the Miata finally has the same power to weight as a 2zz Spyder

Just print this out:

"How do you stand driving in reverse all the time?"

@pwnzor

I have both the S2000 (about 400,000 miles since I bought it new) and two Spyders. I love them all! No Miatas but.........

Well guys, the jig is up.

I pull into work today and I see the Miata's driver door cracked open, sitting in a spot across the parking lot.  Turns out it's a lady.  Not just any lady.  Middle aged, smokin' hot with red hair and green eyes.  About 5'5" and 110lbs.  I strike up a conversation with her about it.  She bought it from an older gentleman who put 1k miles on it per year.  Tan top with pristine plastic rear window.  Her other vehicle is a Vespa.  And yes, she's a hairdresser.

For reference - these are the insults I had lined up:

1. Red is NOT A CREATIVE COLOR!
2. You should have a bought a Pelaton! 
3. Remember when Miatas were fun? PEPPRIDGE FARM REMEMBERS! 
4. Wanna hear a car joke?  Mazda Miata.
5. (On a rainy day, I would first slip this note in a ziploc bag) This bag is to keep things from getting wet, as do all things Miata.

Could you imagine if I had gone through with this??  Jesus.

This is why we think before we act boys, and why I consult the wisdom of experts before mischief ensues.
