I kinda went car shopping without really car shopping

And found a Miata.

What is it worth?

With or without the dirty anti-freeze paint?

Do you mean the baby puke paint?

Dem rimz are worth their weight in scrap, or more if you live near a significant Hispanic population.

I could live with the paint for awhile (if the rest of the car's up to snuff), but the seller would have to back off the price enough for me to replace the wheels. Something like the price of Kosei's (or at least stock replacements) minus whatever the scrap metal place would give me for those.

ROFL, we both went there...

Needs paint & wheels.

I don't hate the paint.

The paint is actually a flip flop with a light teal undertone.

No, it's just a flop.

I need those sideskirts...

I weirdly like the paint. Maybe because I'm so tired of the same ole same ole. Assuming they just did the paint and the wheels, I'd do $6-7K for it depending on the miles.

Factory tupperware.

I dunno, that paint might not look so bad in person. Or it might. The wheels need to go.

Are they paying you to take it? That's the only way I'd drive a car that color....

Yep. The factory small tupperware supply seems to be dwindling. I'm kicking myself for not buying one of the sets of paint-matched smalls that an Ebay seller had for under $200 last summer.

Now there's just a ton of large skirts and i hate hate hate the way those look.

No one has bashed yet on the wing?!

There's worse things going on there than the wing. I like the paint. With the right wheels, it'd look cool.

The paint is an interesting color not in a bad way its the sort you'd find on a classy donk, draw your own conclusion from that, the wheels are odious, and the wing reminds me of an s2000.

I do like the skirt/mudflap combo though.

think of it this way .... you wouldn't have any trouble finding it in a parking lot

so offen you see a paint job like that and open a door and the jams are not done same as engine and trunk. i looked at a really nice looking e36 cp this week with a pearl blue paint on it and the guy says he spent 4k on it and it was really nice until i opened the doors and the jams were red. he said he was going to paint them black but just has not had the time. he said his paint guy wanted another 1k to do the engine bay, trunk and jams

The rest of the car was so ugly, it took away from the wing ugliness.

With some different wheels, I'd rock that like a hurricane. Just sayin'.

Of course, my tastes are a bit questionable.

In reply to DWNSHFT:

I kinda like the spoiler. that is not large enough to be considered a wing.

Green with a hint of purple.. . . . I have seen that come out both ends of my kids.. . . ..

Likewise. Needs black watanabe/panasports.
