Managed to get the Miata home without killing myself or it.

For the record, the 18.5 mile drive from the farm to my house was both the farthest and the fastest I've ever driven a manual car (also the 2nd time total O.O). This included three uphill stop signs, one of which is also a very-nearly hairpin turn.
So. Much. Fun.

Edit: bonus points if anyone can guess what these other car on the background is

Yeah, that's way the shit up there. Perfect car for a New England winter, the Miata, haha.

I'm a bit jealous of your emblem there. Mine only has it on its wheels

Not my primary transport, thankfully

(the Sonett is under the really dirty car cover in the back)

I'm guessing yours is a 89-93? Seems as though the early ones don't have emblems.

1990, but the wheels are 94-97 7 spokes. I also got a second set of meh $200-a-set-on-ebay rims with bald as hell rubber (looked like slicks)

These are what mine had on it when i bought it

The rubber was, shall we say, less than great

hmm. I don't like anything bigger than a 15" on a NA Miata.

It gets better. They're multi-pattern, so theres 9 holes in the center of the rim -_-

Is it a SAAB of some kind?

The headrests tell me Saab 900 convertible.

That's about the condition of the wheels myn was in when I bought it 6 months ago. Bald tires stretched over 17" rims. It needed to be saved.

I was looking at the five-door model last night. Are there any major issues to know about for that car?

I honestly don't know a ton, this one was a really well taken care of example when my parents bought it from a friend (who was a Saab employee at the time they bought it). Its a 1992 with just over 100k on it
