I've already crashed it - into the refrigerator, the fireplace, and some book cases...the car just can't hook up on carpet.

When first reading I was like wow, that was quick... someone already bought his Miata?! Then I saw the thumb and was jealous... MS kitted. Good one! Hopefully you will get an 8 and stick around, we need more members like you with humor.

LOL! That was really funny, my first thought was cool, another silver!

Is that an 1:18? if so, I want to know where you got it. I've been lookin for a Silver one for 6 months and can't find it anywhere. The closest I can find is a Titanium and it has a tag on the front (AutoArt).

I got it for my birthday yesterday - they are at ToysRus for about $20. The range is only about 15 feet though...but it's still neat

Today i spent hours at a dealer trying to buy a REAL one that colour - Sport + Appearance + wing...

Oh, it's motorized. I'm looking for a die cast.

Good luck with your new acquisition.
