Dang multiple choice, I don't know if it's A or B...

Had to fedex some paperwork to Lackland AFB for my boy, figured this made for a good photo op.

NA for looks. NB for everything else.

Having had 3 different NAs and an NB, NB is clearly the better car, and just as good at being a Miata.

Making me question my answer, there, fella.

Good thing I recognize that there really is no wrong answer...

1st answer was a white 92 NA and 2nd answer is a red 99 NB. Stock NA is a traditional sports car in just about every way. NB is touring sports car w/more creature comforts (A/C, PW, PL, PS). They are both great cars. Wife likes the civilized NB while I miss the basic NA at times.

If I have to choose between those two particular cars, I would pick "neither".

But if I had to choose, it would be the white NA, as long as the undercarriage hasn't been destroyed by the "stance" deal.

But if I did NOT have to choose, then I be happy. Both cars appear to be built with the finest parts that Ebay offers.

NB'S look better than NA'S by a long shot. In my opinion of course.

That NA owner must work there - here's a picture from 2013 when I felt compelled to park next to the other two; I'm the beat up NA on the right.

In reply to Brokeback:

Ha, cool, you're in town. The security guard was walking by as I took the pic, told him "I'm a sucker for sports cars", chatted for a minute, and mentioned that the store manager owns it.

When I first got mine, it was about that low, but I could hardly get over the neighborhood speed bumps, and I couldn't at all clear the speed bumps at work. I know he can't clear the speed bumps in that lot, either.

With that pic, we are closer to cmcgregor's response of "E - all of the above".

I moved a few hours away (Southern New Mexico) for my job, but Tucson is generally the city we visit on shopping trips. I miss Tucson - alot more interesting cars and stuff to do!

Or you could chose what is almost certainly the last running Beretta in existence.

Personally, I'll take the NA simply because there is no substitute for flippy lights.

Based on Wiki, the NA is 300 lbs less. Flippy lights = bonus!

Those little cars are nearly obstructing the view of the '88 Chevy Beretta which you have framed into the center of the photo.
