When I think small car, I think NA Miata. A Midget is dwarfed by a Miata. This 79 is for sale in Dayton, Ohio.

So good. I sat in one once (I would say "test drove" but it wouldn't start) and it was like slipping into a kayak. Comfortable once you're in, but initially I was sure 6' 1" me wasn't going to fit.

It’s amazing how small British roadsters were and midget was smaller. The first time I got up close and personal with a Spitfire I couldn’t believe how incredibly low t was

Hey! I recognize your location and I feel like I’ve seen this car sitting somewhere else for sale.

I had a 79 Midget back in high school. At 6'1" I fit in just fine - there is more leg room than you’d think there would be, largely because you basically lay down in it . But I was young and a light lighter than I am now. :) I loved that car and the part of me that denies I’m old would love to have another. R ealistically I probably wouldn’t fit that well anymore.
It was a blast to drive on curvy back roads. Definitely gutless but it didn’t matter. Even with a brand new roof, don’t plan on staying dry if it rains hard. I remember coming out of school one day to find 1.5" of water in the floor board because it had rained really hard and the roof just didn’t seal well. I didn’t care. Pop the floor drains to empty it, spend some time with the shop vac, and go on with your life.
I miss that car.

This was taken at the University of Dayton. I've seen it a few times, but for sale is new.

My dad had one of these new back in the 70s and said it’s the worst car he’s ever owned lmao. He bought this while a friend of his bought a 240Z and he wished he got one of those instead.

My dad owned an MG that always had problems, so I know better anyway. Still, tho, sweet.

Reminds me of a few months ago - came across a Suzuki Cappuccino while driving my ND and it made my car feel huge.

Yep, wasn’t sure if you would want me to give away where you were on the internet.
Are you a student there? I graduated from UD in 2012.

Eh, I've posted it before. I am, graduating in the near future.
