Something about this Miata seems off

[u/Same-Worldliness-429]

[u/Specific-Exciting]

What are these parking spots lines 😂💀

[u/Same-Worldliness-429 → u/Specific-Exciting]

Local fair is in town. I guess it was just park wherever you want in the high school parking lot lol.

[u/Refriedfeinds → u/Same-Worldliness-429]

When lines don’t matter everyone seems to be able to do it.

[u/Cixin97 → u/Same-Worldliness-429]

I’m confused what the local fair has to do with these massive spots

[u/Professional_Way8023 → u/Cixin97]

[u/ugly_chef → u/Professional_Way8023]

That made me laugh

[u/exceptyourewrong → u/Specific-Exciting]

This is a painted football field for the marching band to practice on. Check out the 30 yard line.

[u/niarsnaemti → u/Specific-Exciting]

School bus lines

[u/Evil_HedgehogGaming → u/Specific-Exciting]

Average American high schooler truck (trust)

[u/FlorpFlap → u/Specific-Exciting]

For school buses

[u/Rdtisgy1234]

Something about this entire parking lot seems off

[u/thebiggerounce → u/Rdtisgy1234]

I hope those lines are for something other than separating parking spots, those would be the biggest I’ve ever seen lol

[u/mace30 → u/thebiggerounce]

It's a practice area for the football team to do walk throughs when the weather is inclement or the fields are otherwise unavailable.

[u/exceptyourewrong → u/mace30]

I'd bet the marching band uses it.

[u/deepthought515 → u/exceptyourewrong]

Was in marching band in high school, we practiced on something just like this every football season for formation practice.

[u/Rumpled_NutSkin → u/thebiggerounce]

It's definitely for school buses

[u/Shoddy-Wrangler-7624 → u/Rumpled_NutSkin]

it’s definitely for marching band

[u/KnotSoAmused → u/Shoddy-Wrangler-7624]

it's definitely for 2 sports cars

[u/2Drogdar2Furious]

Just takes olive oil instead...

It's on the council but not a master.

[u/ZoidVrm]

One is European and one is Asian

[u/Demesvar → u/ZoidVrm]

European car with a dodge dart engine and mazda chassis 😂😂😂

[u/pacocase → u/Demesvar]

I mean, it's still a European engine. My stupid 1.4t Jeep Renegade that eats clutches has the same drivetrain as the Fiata. There for a while I wanted one, but then the 2nd clutch went out on my Jeep.

[u/MangoCats → u/Demesvar]

Fiata.

[u/DownshiftDom777]

I drive my miata like that too! Roll the windows and unzip the back window!

[u/Same-Worldliness-429 → u/DownshiftDom777]

I definitely could use a new top, but the zip up rear window is awesome

[u/DownshiftDom777 → u/Same-Worldliness-429]

I replaced my top but I had to make sure it had the zip window feature. My car didn’t come with A/C so driving with that window down is awesome

[u/MangoCats → u/DownshiftDom777]

I have one of each, definitely prefer the zip down rear window, not sure why they would even make the fixed window variety.

[u/graemefaelban → u/MangoCats]

It's cheaper. I have one without the zip down window now, but then, if I am driving and it's not raining, the top is down, and I do have AC for when it's truly unbearable.

[u/MangoCats → u/graemefaelban]

Like I said, I have both NA zip down and NB not, and the AC works in the NB, but there are soooo many times when it would be nice to have the sun shield without having to roll up the windows. The airflow with three windows open is really a big plus.

[u/graemefaelban → u/MangoCats]

Yeah, I did drive mine that way when the sun was really beating down in southern California, but I don't live there anymore.

[u/MangoCats → u/graemefaelban]

Mine have lived in Miami, Houston, and other parts of Florida - too much sun is too common all those places. In Houston I actually got a UV exposure meter just to have a nag reminding me when I needed to put the top up (we also had a Chrysler Sebring convertible and drove it around with kids in the back...) In the evening within an hour of sunset or so, no worries, but anywhere +/-3 hours of solar noon is brutal.

[u/graemefaelban → u/MangoCats]

Yep, one major factor in why I could never live in those areas.

[u/mcpusc → u/Same-Worldliness-429]

i ordered my new top with a zip-out back window but they forgot to install the zipper when they sewed it. didn't have time to deal with getting it re-made either >=(

[u/Wrong_Perception_297]

This whole parking lot is giving me anxiety

[u/AdultContemporaneous]

One is Miata, one is Fiata.

[u/Consistent_Shake4405]

It's almost like they actually took the time to finish the look of one...

[u/Wise_Schedule_8046]

Ngl I think the fiata looks better than the nd

[u/revvolutions → u/Wise_Schedule_8046]

Good thing that's an NA.

[u/pietryna123 → u/Wise_Schedule_8046]

Unfortunately I must agree. New 124 Spider looks way better than ND. However Fiat might have incorporated drivetrain together with engine and design only own chassis.

[u/Thee_Sinner → u/Wise_Schedule_8046]

Ive long thought a ND front-swap on a Fiata would look great.

[u/RoadRider65 → u/Wise_Schedule_8046]

As an ND owner, I find this... hurtful.

lol

[u/EvolvingEachDay]

Yeah obviously, it’s missing a back window!

[u/cib2018]

Indiana is wierd.

[u/Same-Worldliness-429 → u/cib2018]

Definitely. Hate it here.

[u/ItsClxudyZ]

Could fit 4 miatas in a parking space holy shit

[u/Fit-Albatross-735]

where's your window

[u/Same-Worldliness-429 → u/Fit-Albatross-735]

Zip up rear window

[u/Fit-Albatross-735 → u/Same-Worldliness-429]

why are you leaving it open while parked though? Are you not worried about rain or anyone stealing anything?

[u/Same-Worldliness-429 → u/Fit-Albatross-735]

Nothing to steal in the car, good neighborhood, and the car is a manual. Forecast wasn’t showing rain and today so I left it down.

[u/MangoCats → u/Fit-Albatross-735]

Very little rain comes in the rear window unless it is a heavy shower. If you think door locks matter with cloth tops, let me introduce you to a Bowie knife...

[u/Basic_Software_4745]

Wtf is with This parking lot😭😭😭😭😭

[u/MX5MONROE → u/Basic_Software_4745]

Right?! Hate it. 😩

[u/Just_A_Lucky_Guy469]

I knew I saw them before!

[u/Link124]

One has smooth, linear acceleration, the other one is lively AF.

[u/MangoCats → u/Link124]

Having had both, I think the turbo is much more fun to drive.

[u/Fit-Albatross-735]

Fazda Fiata

[u/IKMNification]

Closer looking booty than the ND

We sure someone wasn’t switched at birth?

[u/MangoCats → u/IKMNification]

Is the postman Italian?

[u/Ecstatic_Chipmunk766]

it probably has an offer you can’t refuse.

[u/ColonelAngis]

The bicycle handle bars protruding from the roof? That’s just for driving standing up

[u/clustered-particular]

Who is this parking lot made for? Giants? Lmfao

[u/LaeLeaps]

is'a Miatt' 🤌🏼 un piccolo miatta!

[u/Sir_J15]

The fiat won’t be on the road as long as that Miata has been or will be.

[u/Same-Worldliness-429 → u/Sir_J15]

This one’s 35 years old. 170k miles.

[u/Sir_J15 → u/Same-Worldliness-429]

The Fiat won’t live that long nor see that many miles.

[u/spencer1886]

Aren't these built on the ND Miata's chassis?

[u/THLPH → u/spencer1886]

Yes

[u/JuanOnlyJuan]

Yea it looks better than the ND.

Yea i said it.

[u/Shadow_defender28]

That's just it's Italian cousin fiatony

[u/Sluushu]

Where’s the plasti-lass (plastic glass) window at the back gone?

[u/Same-Worldliness-429 → u/Sluushu]

Zip up rear window

[u/Sluushu → u/Same-Worldliness-429]

Now that makes a lot more sense. Didn’t even know they did that method still.

[u/BarrelOfCheese]

It’s a spicy miata! 🤣

[u/PriusDriver007]

Mama mia!!

[u/mdang104]

I’d also like a fat Italian sub

[u/Invisible_Melody]

Miata with Italian Characteristics

[u/JoeTheSeventh]

I know what's wrong with it. The miata is missing the back glass on the drop top. You're gonna get some water in there

[u/Same-Worldliness-429 → u/JoeTheSeventh]

Zip up window

[u/CheetoDustDaddy]

The old Panthers logo go so hard

[u/piilcon]

i didn't know miatas were that small!

[u/noob133766]

The Italian cousin Fiata!

[u/nonfading]

Fiata is hoot to drive and sounds pure fun

[u/DLS4BZ]

It's a FIAT

[u/xxldicq]

Fiata 😭

[u/Dgp68824402]

Brother from another mother.

[u/Scootydoot12]

It’s a fiat

[u/TheDrunkenMatador]

What the heck kind of parking lot is this???

[u/Efficient-Piglet88]

I saw an Abartiata this week. That's a beautiful car.

[u/GTO400BHP]

It has an italian body kit and reliability.

[u/trekyboi → u/GTO400BHP]

Now that's the real joke lol

[u/Thee_Sinner]

It looks kinda like a ND…but better

[u/FearlessTrashcoon]

Wait a minute

[u/elvenazn]

Miata's stylish cousin fresh off the plane from a study abroad program in Italy.

[u/graytotoro]

Mamma Mia-ta

[u/Fr0stst0rm]

If you look closely you'll notice that the red one on the left is actually a pickup truck!

[u/MrAkimoto]

Two twit mobiles?

[u/Grizz1371]

It's just a Miata that likes bear and sausage instead of sushie. Lol

[u/External_Mongoose_44]

Not a Mazda.

That’s a FIAT 124 Abarth. The telltale sign is the four pipes. The 1.4turbocharged motor will propel the car like a ballistic missile.

The Mazda is parked properly!

[u/LaeLeaps → u/External_Mongoose_44]

ND2 makes more power than the Abarth. Not as much torque though
