Slant six in a Miata ? Why ???

For me that would be fine as long as it is actually safe. To many people jump on guys when the car is unfinished much less perfect. Fellas should enjoy there ride be it mint on top of triple mint or a simple “Roadkill” car. Though I hope it works and runs better than the shows cars do.... ha ha ha ha

Seriously, who cares if it is dull or multi colored in paint, dented and mildly rusted?
Have you heard the story in the media about the guy with the patina 65 Ford pickup? The truck runs,drives,Is road worthy but his homeowners association where he lives wants it gone. Its an eyesore....part of what I love about the old car hobby is, people want old cars gome, they dont want to see them. There is a guy in my area with a black premiered 74 Pontiac Bonneville 4 door,when I saw it at the gas pump the other day all I thought was"I wonder if the cops pull him over alot, they definitely know who he is I'll bet" it's the kind of car that draws attention...
