This IS* the coolest of this type of build (not straight track or something). Modular roofs for Pete's sake! Plus the obvious labor of love this guy went through since he bought the car in 1989. It isn't often I see a car on a One Take that I think could go on to more polished shows like Jay Leno's operation and what-not. *Opinion, duh.
I used to think every modified Miata was the coolest Miata, but this easily takes the cake as not only the coolest Miata ever, but one of the coolest cars ever.
Matt can you put some shots of the car stationary at the end of your videos not just at the start. I find myself always re-watching the start of the video to remind myself of what the car looks like.
happyjayh agree! he really does need to showcase the cars better,it's always just some quick shots of the car and I keep having to pause or rewatch. I would love it if he would do a walk around then get some shots of the interior and motor. maybe not on some of the stock or barely modified cars but ones like this it's a shame he doesn't dedicate a solid couple minutes of just showing the build off.
God that ass end. Not a huge fan of the front, I think that could have been done a little better, but daym that fastback. That should have been an option from the factory.
It’s not custom made into a fastback. It’s just a custom hard top made by autokonexion. I’m not sure if they’re made anymore but you used to be able to get them for 1500 and they come with they’re own trunk to make the body lines flow
Seriously one of the coolest cars i have ever seen. Love a modern(ish) car with vintage inspiration and modifications without sacrificing modern(ish) performance reliability and handling.
These are my favorite One Takes. I appreciate owners who have passion and creativity much more than owners who simply have wealth. David, this is the prettiest Miata ever!
This is without a doubt, the coolest miata I've ever seen, if not the coolest car I've ever seen. The interior, exterior, and power train are all perfect. The only thing I would change is the front end.
when a car is built the best way possible and you drive it, there simply are no words for it and there was points in this video where you were just driving it and had nothing to say from how awesome it is! props to the owner who built it!
Kinda looks like a mix between an old MGB roadster and an old fiat 124 had a child and this is that love child. With that being said, love it! Stunning build and incredible engine note and turbo noises
Honestly, my ideal miata, aside from the front end conversion and vintage styling. But that's purely personal taste in aesthetics. Functionally, this car looks to be fully dialed in. Mad props to the owner.
David is the man. He has some very cool cars and is one of the friendliest and most generous guys you'll ever meet. I've seen this car many times and hung out with David at meets and at his home tech days but have never even sat in it! That will change.
Such an amazing creation! You can tell that there was an incredibly high degree of craftsmanship both on the exterior and on the interior of the car! Best looking Miata I've ever seen for sure!
(David) Woolery is a legend in the socal miata scene. Used to invite everyone to his garage where they could use his lift and tools at their disposal, always giving a helping hand. Rides in his Ariel Atom and Exige. Haven't been in the scene for years, good to see he and the car still looking good and going strong.
Before I even watch the vid... Matt, I gotta say, I'm really starting to enjoy your pieces at the start of each video. I'm getting to the point of wondering whose wares you're going to hawk next! You certainly find the most interesting and eclectic companies to support your endeavors! Keep up the good work! Now, on to the vid!
if he kept the fastback and left the front end alone....Art. Mazda should take note. 20x people would buy the miata in fastback or better yet flying brake format. Japanese clown shoe? Yes please.
this is my favorite one take by far. i like this style of the intro better when the owner is speaking about the car, rather them inside while them on the drive.
That interior is incredible. Very cool build. I love the wheel and the shifter. Everything is done so nicely. He made a classic sports car out of a Miata, very well done.
Easily one of the coolest cars yet.
This IS* the coolest of this type of build (not straight track or something). Modular roofs for Pete's sake! Plus the obvious labor of love this guy went through since he bought the car in 1989. It isn't often I see a car on a One Take that I think could go on to more polished shows like Jay Leno's operation and what-not.
*Opinion, duh.
palmtrees bananapants can't disagree. Very tasteful vehicle
palmtrees bananapants I agree as well. the attention to detail and all the crafting is outstanding
This guy could sell these I would think.
palmtrees bananapants Undoubtedly. Matt even said his hands were freezing.
I used to think every modified Miata was the coolest Miata, but this easily takes the cake as not only the coolest Miata ever, but one of the coolest cars ever.
There's a special kid of joy of watching someone have one of their best days ever at work. Matt loves that damn car and it's awesome!
Nick in the States definitely a special kid
Are we talking Goat Boy here?
This car is amazing, it's beautifully crafted too!
What an incredible "forever" machine the owner created!
Anita K Thats a great way of putting it.
and your not too bad either x
+kim jerreat that did not take long for some fedora man to come
He's not fedora enough. Couldn't even spell the correct version of "you're".
Tom T. Leave him alone - he's not wrong.
Today Mr Farrah sells undershirts and yells at us in a Miata
Jeremy Stig No homo nowadays is at least 20% from what Ive heard.
I don't understand why people think these jokes are funny. A 2 yr old could think of this
sk84life311 What jokes are you referring to?
I believe that's called begging the question.
Today Thunderclutch makes a Mr. Spaghetti esque comment.
That interior is absolutely gorgeous.
Matt can you put some shots of the car stationary at the end of your videos not just at the start. I find myself always re-watching the start of the video to remind myself of what the car looks like.
matt usually has a link to most peoples wheelwells but sometimes a few more shots of the engine and body would be a nice touch
happyjayh agree! he really does need to showcase the cars better,it's always just some quick shots of the car and I keep having to pause or rewatch. I would love it if he would do a walk around then get some shots of the interior and motor. maybe not on some of the stock or barely modified cars but ones like this it's a shame he doesn't dedicate a solid couple minutes of just showing the build off.
happyjayh what's the problem with rewatching it the start? Only takes one click...
Agree ! And also in the middle of the video, when for example he talks about the dash or something that we can't see, that would be awesome
Javier E Yeah if it's something specific he's talking about like wheels/tires or an interior part that's a good idea.
"That i bought NEW in 1989 as a TEENAGER"
Wow. That must have been nice. lmao
I suggest you to make some "Thesmokingtire's awards" for cars you've been reviewed.
That is a cool idea!
Bebeto Fandi you have been offically pimped? xtothez
Needs more likes
Best daily, best modified, best exotic, best import, best muscle, etc?
that is genius
Thats one sick miata :D that interior is really nice :D and so light too
Joe spotted.
Mr. Woolery! That car is pretty well known within the miata community.
okay. I've watched many many if your one takes and this is by far the coolest car!! by a mile!
I've seen this build on one of the miata forums and the amount of time and effort spent on this is insane... Glad to see it featured here.
God that ass end. Not a huge fan of the front, I think that could have been done a little better, but daym that fastback. That should have been an option from the factory.
Douglas Pealing It was for a limited time. Miata Coupes exist but honestly his custom solution looks better
It’s not custom made into a fastback. It’s just a custom hard top made by autokonexion. I’m not sure if they’re made anymore but you used to be able to get them for 1500 and they come with they’re own trunk to make the body lines flow
Seriously one of the coolest cars i have ever seen. Love a modern(ish) car with vintage inspiration and modifications without sacrificing modern(ish) performance reliability and handling.
One of the best cars by far on this channel
I like the different style intro to the car. If the owners are comfortable in front of the camera, you should have them intro the car everytime.
These are my favorite One Takes. I appreciate owners who have passion and creativity much more than owners who simply have wealth. David, this is the prettiest Miata ever!
This is without a doubt, the coolest miata I've ever seen, if not the coolest car I've ever seen. The interior, exterior, and power train are all perfect. The only thing I would change is the front end.
This Miata is the perfect blend of everything that makes these kind of cars special. Big props to the owner!
It's always good to see him genuinely happy driving a car.
WOOLERY!!! Everytime I see this car in person I get a reminder of why I love Miatas.
Gauge cluster and interior brings to mind something like an E-Type. Beautiful
when a car is built the best way possible and you drive it, there simply are no words for it and there was points in this video where you were just driving it and had nothing to say from how awesome it is! props to the owner who built it!
I have one of those moments on Thursday's video as well, which i think is only the third time I've offered to buy a car on the spot.
excited to see it!
Wow, Matt actually has some head room in a miata haha
That's got to be the COOLEST Miata in the states. The fast back really makes the car, beautiful build, prob one of the best on the show so far.
just that the guy bought the car new as a teenager and kept it 30 years is impressive. his work is priceless at this point!
I love where people's passion and creativity take their cars
In 2002 I had a 1991 Miata with a Veilside wide body kit, SSR rims, SR20 engine and JIC suspension. It was incredible
Oh my god, this is the most beautiful "Miata" I’ve ever seen
The sound of the engine is exquisite. Music for my ears .
Kinda looks like a mix between an old MGB roadster and an old fiat 124 had a child and this is that love child. With that being said, love it! Stunning build and incredible engine note and turbo noises
I can't wait til I get my 1990 Miata. It's videos like this that just brings great joy. That is one beautifully built car.
Honestly, my ideal miata, aside from the front end conversion and vintage styling. But that's purely personal taste in aesthetics. Functionally, this car looks to be fully dialed in. Mad props to the owner.
Experiencing it vicariously through this video is enough to put a smile on my face, I can only imagine what it's like in person.
Remember seeing this chap and his car on the FinalGear forums years ago. Awesome to see it getting some One Take love.
This car is so beautifully put together. I've never been a big fan of Miatas but this, this is something special
David is the man. He has some very cool cars and is one of the friendliest and most generous guys you'll ever meet. I've seen this car many times and hung out with David at meets and at his home tech days but have never even sat in it! That will change.
Now that is one badass little Miata! Mazda should have made the fastback available in production.
Best Miata I ever see. Period. So much job was made. That's crazy
Just when you though an NA Miata couldn't get any better. Absolutely beautiful build.
I've never been envious of a Miata till now! beautiful build and I still can't get over how amazing the fastback looks.
That is definitely a special interpretation of a miata. Dude created a beautiful and powerful, yet balanced roadsters. Noiiice
that car is fantastic. the cool factor is through the roof.
Never been a huge fan of that front end but the rest of it’s so perfect I can almost forgive it.
You wouldn't be as cold if you weren't wearing a undershirt that's thinner than paper. Love this build. Great job to the owner!
Such an amazing creation! You can tell that there was an incredibly high degree of craftsmanship both on the exterior and on the interior of the car! Best looking Miata I've ever seen for sure!
Is this the week of oddballs? Best week ever! I know the new vehicles pay the bills but these are the ones we love.
One of the best builds ever made!
Game over, I now want an old Miata. If I can make it look like a classic, but have a modern car underneath...yes!
I feel like this car deserves its own in depth special episode.
Truly special
It’s comfortable, it’s fast, it’s light, it’s good looking, it’s retro, this is the best car ever
Adult no-longer-schlubby. I like it.
I don't typically like Miata's but this is a gem, David really outdid himself here.
One of the prettiests cars I have ever seen.
Not usually a big fan of the ads at the beginning but ribbed tees are straight magic
this is got to be in the top 5 coolest cars ever on the channel. I want that thing so bad.
That interior is incredible
Always been looking for a high quality vid on this Miata since I saw it on the forums. This did the trick... thanks Matt.
This has to be one of the cleanest cars I've ever seen.
(David) Woolery is a legend in the socal miata scene. Used to invite everyone to his garage where they could use his lift and tools at their disposal, always giving a helping hand. Rides in his Ariel Atom and Exige. Haven't been in the scene for years, good to see he and the car still looking good and going strong.
Never thought I'd like a Miata this much...incredible detail work
wow this thing is really a work of art, and to own it since your a teen makes it that much more special
Before I even watch the vid...
Matt, I gotta say, I'm really starting to enjoy your pieces at the start of each video. I'm getting to the point of wondering whose wares you're going to hawk next! You certainly find the most interesting and eclectic companies to support your endeavors! Keep up the good work!
Now, on to the vid!
Mario Funk thanks!
Awesome vid, awesome car!
He took the door windows out to make the car lighter!!
That guy is my hero lol
The exhaust note is gorgeous!
What a fantastic toy. Loving the interior and the front.
if he kept the fastback and left the front end alone....Art. Mazda should take note. 20x people would buy the miata in fastback or better yet flying brake format. Japanese clown shoe? Yes please.
Yeah, that front end is butt ugly. If my dog were that ugly, I'd have to shave it's ass and make it walk backwards.
This is probably the reason why MAZDA is selling a Miata Fastback since a couple months now... at least here in Germany
Markus Dietrich thats more like miata targa
Honestly, I would kill for a fastback NB miata and have been looking for a clean example of a stock NB for a while in my area.
Now that is passion for motoring.
That car just makes me smile lol.
That car is the equivalent of about 450 to 500 horsepower with that power to weight ratio! Cool as hell Matt! Thank you for this one!
Garage Woolery Miata is legendary. I followed the blog through the whole glass making saga
Wow... That is perfection. It's like a GT6 and a Shelby Daytona had a kid on a Miata platform.
Ohhh, Yeah !!!!!!!!!! That was fun ! Never seen this model before.
This is indeed a special car and a true reflection of its unique owner. Thrilled to see it on Smoking Tire!
Miata is always the answer ... love the noise!!!
This is truly a unique and beautiful build. Kudos to that guy.
Making a vintage car even more vintage. Really cool build, the interior looks beautiful
i love everything about this car. kudos to the owner.
I truly hope these videos and everything you do makes you a multi-millionaire. You bring so much entertainment to my life.
somehow I'm getting "rwb" miata feel from this. Like this idea or build can be spread all over the world. Kunos to him!
this is my favorite one take by far. i like this style of the intro better when the owner is speaking about the car, rather them inside while them on the drive.
That roll bar setup is what I'm looking for as well. It's freaking great.
This is really cool I've been waiting to build my nostalgic looking Miata for about 2 years now can't wait.
That interior is incredible. Very cool build. I love the wheel and the shifter. Everything is done so nicely. He made a classic sports car out of a Miata, very well done.
Wow. Just wow. Huge respect to this guy.
These ad's are becoming as entertaining as the main content. Keep it up Matt
I love seeing these types of cars/builds featured on here.
Great car! Thanks to the owner for letting us experience a bit of it.
That's one of the nicest cars I've ever seen.
Damn Matt you're a good advertiser. The coffee, sun glasses, and now undershirts. Reading my mind over here.
Dopest Miata ive seen in my life :O
This car is beautiful, what a master peice.
Love the quality of the 1080p60 video! Love the subject matter of the show even more - what an awesome looking Mazda!
Truly unique. That is awesome and I like the sound a lot.
love it when people do cars like this..
Finally found a video of this famous Miata that has some very European vibes to it. My Dad loves this Miata since it looks like a Karmann Ghia.
nice choice for the seats, they really fit the car... and this car's awesome
so far the best car i have seen thru your channel! its truly special!
This is certainly going to be one of the best one takes this year.
