Talk about contrasting differences between the two cars. One bare bones and the other a technological super marvel. I love driving both. I'm a secret Miata nut. The red is a '90 with 15k miles. I also have a '91 British racing green with 2k miles.

Wow what a beauty this Singapore grey! At times I love this color and sometimes don't. Have never seen in person though.

Nice lift! How much was it to get one installed?

infamousq · 05-11-2014, 11:06 AM

Looks good I love your garage to!!!

I was washing my new M5 yesterday and I found a Miata embedded in the right front light housing. I don't remember hitting it.

Nice lawnmower too! How much horsepower that thing got?!

The lift is made by Bendpak. All in including the high lift door conversion around $4k. Now I just need to convince the wife to let me put in a double...

Love it!

Looks like you went from a single door to double to accommodate the lift?

Nope, just a single door. When they do the high lift conversion, they switch to a rotary shaft style opener, run the tracks higher up near the ceiling, and change out the spring.
