Sketchiest Tow Load?

Jen Dunnaway — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:58:45 +0000

I’ve subjected my Eagle to some pretty rough-service towing for a 30-year-old midsize wagon, including a U-Haul trailer across the country, and a loaded tow dolly through the mountains, including taking off from a clutch-roasting dead stop on a straight-up-and-down incline. But since Eagles are unkillable, it has survived its towing ordeals just fine. Not sure I could say the same for this poor overloaded Miata, squatted down like a lowrider under an overweight and precarious payload. Good thing an airplane fuselage and lumber aren’t the heaviest things one can haul, but it looks like they’re taking a toll nonetheless. Via ThereIFixedIt.

Ever towed or hauled anything sketchy in your ride? How did it hold up?

Hella Flush Miata With Gigantic Wing

Jen Dunnaway — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:52:03 +0000

Ryan honestly thinks stuff like this is cool, but instead of making fun of him, I’m just going to post it. I’ve actually been noticing a lot of beater hellaflush treatments out driving around, often using cars like junk 90′s Civics. It kind of makes me wonder, how can a novice dirtball with no budget set up a car like this in his driveway without making it so the fenders shred the tires or the tires slip off the rims? I mean, not all of these things can be built by custom shops in California. Click through to Hellaflush to see video of the winged Miata in action. Kinda.

Mazda Miata Flip POV

Michael Berenis — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 09:08:21 +0000

The Mazda Miata is an autocross favorite vehicle due to it’s extremely light weight chassis, low center of gravity, and rear wheel drive. They are good vehicles, but not perfect. Read more about the wreck at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.
