As I detailed the car with the new random orbit polisher (I can't believe I didn't buy it earlier!) and Mother's 3 step, a teenage kid showed up and said :"Whoaaa is that a Mazda 5? Can't be, it's a Mazda 5!?"

Me: MX-5, not Mazda 5.

Kid: Whoa!! It's an MX5??

Me: Yes. The car behind it is an MX5 too...well a Miata.

Kid: Whoa!! It's an MX5 too?? This is sweet! Reminds me of sweet memories.

Me: Your parents used to own one?

Kid: No.

Me: Why does it give you nostalgia?

Kid: Well *shy* Games!

Me: *Misheard gays instead of games* Huh...what?

Kid: Yeah games like in NFS Underground! I had a Mx5. I beated everyone in it! It was yellow and red with blue arrows on the side. I had neons and the sound system and pink rims sometimes white. Pink is my favorite color! I had 2 miatas, one dropped so low that the bumper was on the floor! The other was raised up! One day I'm gonna save up and get one! I love these cars!

Me: *Poker face* Great! You gonna love this car. It's quite cheap to maintain and insurance wise too, compared to a Civic. Try to guess, how much I pay for insurance on the white one?

Kid: Hum......5-10k?

Me: ????What???? That's way too much!

Kid: We have insurance on a big brand new truck, it costs us 5k.

Me: Well...I pay 400$ On the white one and 1k on the black one. It's really cheap. Save up man and you won't regret it. These will spoil all the other cars as the steering communicates so much with you and the shifter is amazing.

Kid: I know! When I had it in NFS, it's like it told me "Go man! You can do it! I will get one! I just love them too much! *looks around the whole car* I will get it the same way like in NFS. I'll go to a shop and tell them to make it exactly like in NFS. Just throw the money and say to them to do it, even if it's not legal.

Me: *Poker face* Great I hope it works! Oh wanna hear it?

Kid: OMG YESSSS!!!

Me: *Starts the engine, let it warm up a bit, rev a bit*

Kid: *Orgasm* It's like in NFS!! The same sound OMG!!

Me: (Like in NFS?? -_- fml) Great great.

Kid: Well, I gotta go now! My name is (don't remember his name).

Me: Mine is Patrick.

Kid: Awesome! I'll come see it tomorrow too!

Me: Well...I'm working tomorrow you probably wont see me. But maybe some other day during the week?

Kid: Yeah!!! Alright see ya!

Me: Have a good one!

Seriously, Miatas got me a hell of random conversations each time I wash them...BTW that pic, is after the full detailing job!

At least the car was pretty OP in NFS! For some reason or another, it had some of the highest stats in the game once it's fully modded and it was available from the start of both Underground 1 and 2!

Look how innocent is it before you dump 20k$ worth of parts into it to whoop GT-R, Supra, and STi butt. Also, they used the perfect Miata in the game since the '99-'00 1.8L engine is actually preferred for boost applications over the '01+.

It was great in NFS, I agree as I had one too. But I dunno...the way the kid described his creation to me...

Don't worry, get him into autocross or tell him to see a Spec Miata race. All your worries will be gone~ I was like that too until I started learning about real racing and what proper modified cars look like.
