    A week ago I purchased a
    1993 Mazda Miata MX - 5 for $3,000
    It has 66,800 miles on the odometer,
    Everything in and around the car is all original and kept very well garaged, Has no rust, my only issue is the paint job but im looking to get it re-painted the same red color, I can't express how much I freaking love this car, Its been my dream car for about 3 years now, and I have some mods planned for it asap! :)

    I don't see anything wrong with the paint, you should try waxing it. Chrisfix's "superclean" method seems to work great so I would look into that.

    I spent 2 hours hand waxing my car, The only paint issue is below the doors is bubbly, and the front bumper paint is very thin and the clear coat is gone :(

    The rockers you mean? They are supposed to be bubbly because the manufactuerers use a tougher paint to prevent rocks kicked up from the wheels exposing bare metal to rust. The other areas will probably need to be recoated though.

    I put new tires on. I was planning on waiting a little and getting nicer rims, but after 3 patches, 1 tire decided it didn’t want to hold air anymore. I changed it a couple weeks ago, but it was bothering me having 1 different tire, so I got 3 more.

    Could also be surface rust. Check for rust.

    24' 1987 Seebold Eagle (with a cameo of my Jeep to the right. See sig for details :p). Got her when I was 18, my second boat. Got her just to put the 6 cylinder on my 17' Charger DL (my first boat, got that one when I was 15) but I kinda fell in love with this one and she sat in my driveway for a couple of years. I finally stripped the parts off of her two weeks ago and I hoped to find her a new owner to take care of her. However, the trailer for my Charger snapped in half so I need this one. Considering these are fairly easy to find in my area and getting rid of a stripped hull with no trailer is virtually impossible, I gotta take her to the glue factory scrap yard. Feels bad to scrap a perfectly good speed boat hull, but I live on an island and speed boats are a dime a dozen here. Still, feels bad.
