Somebody in our office once said the reason for which the Mazda Miata doesn’t need bumper stickers is that the factory gifts it with a huge, invisible one that reads “underpowered”.
Well, there’s one Californian Miata owner who admits this and has even come up with a way to counter-troll the ones who point their fingers at the Mazda’s engine compartment.

As you can see in the photo above, the San Francisco Miata driver has come up with the opposite of what most vanity plates stand for. If you’re not sure what that means, you can simply check out what a Corvette/Viper driver in Maryland wrote on his plate.

We’re not sure how much of the no-muscle matter has determined the man to get rid of his roadster, but we do know the car is now on Craigslist.

By the way, we are talking about the recently-replaced NC-generation MX-5 Miata, with this example having been born in 2009 and showing 53,000 miles on its odo.

In typical Miata aficionado fashion, the car has been gifted with the quite nice Touring package. Among others, this adds Koni shock absorbers (yes, they’re yellow) and a mechanical limited-slip diff.

The man appears to have taken good care of his Mazda, even taking the time to replace the soft top.

While we’ve given the NC Miata a farewell review, we haven’t driven the 2015 model yet. We’ll be back on the pure driving sensation topic as soon as we get our hands on the lighter, sharper ND Miata.
