You know you're an NA Miata owner when...
1. Your left elbow has developed into a second wrist to aid in removing the oil filter.
2. Upon starting any other vehicle, you make a \"tick tick tick\" noise with your tongue, just to feel more at home.
3. You've spun out at least once, then quickly got going again, purposely spun 180 degrees the other way, and continued on as if you meant to spin the first time, only now your heart is about ready to explode because it's beating so damn fast.
4. People insist it's FWD, you promptly prove them otherwise, and they get reeeeal quiet.

11. You start noticing all the other cars with pop-up headlights.
12. You find yourself driving much later into dusk before turning on your headlights to keep the aerodynamics clean.
13. You can joke about your headlights affecting your mileage.
14. You spend time trying to figure out how to make only one headlight pop up, so your car looks like it is winking for a parade.
15. People ask you what year your car is and they're surprised to hear it's 14+ years old.
16. It's quicker to turn the engine back on to roll up the power windows, especially when cold.
17. People look under your hood and ask where the battery is.
18. You’re proud of having over 150,000 miles on your car and still hitting the rev limiter on the auto-X track.
19. After buying your NA, you spend more time on Miata.net (og måske five-speed-dk) than you ever used to spend watching tv.
20. You try not to make eye contact with minivan drivers because they will blow your doors off.
21. You shop for rims and tires by weight.
22. You know what the \"55 MPH shimmy\" is, and how to fix it.
23. You wonder why in the heck people with other drop tops never have the tops down on days that its above freezing.
24. You find yourself, after a long ride home, still sitting in the car, and it's not because you're waiting for the song on the radio to end.
25. You wonder why people brake before turns.
