The seller describes this Miata M Edition as a “street legal 250 HP adult go kart.” Note: Your state’s rules on being “street legal” may vary from the seller’s home state of Kentucky.

Believe it or not, this car started as an M Edition–and then someone went to town on it. Besides tearing off all the bodywork, it has a cage, Garrett GT2560R turbo, Megasquirt MSPNP2 ECU, Kirkey race seats with five-point harnesses, welded rear diff, Megan Racing coil-overs, 16x9 Rota Grid wheels with Hankook RS2 tires, and a large wing.

The seller says it’s similar to a Slingshot. Or an Ariel Atom. Or a Porsche. Or a Cybertruck?

Find this “1997 Mazda miata 1.8 turbo street legal car Very Fast and Fun!” in Nancy, Kentucky, on Facebook Marketplace, with an asking price of $22,000.

The photo appearing to show it hovering about a foot off the ground while being remotely controlled is a plus.

Those tires look suspiciously like Hankook rs4, not rs2.  Rs2 would be OOOLLLDDDD!

At that price, he's going to own that car for a long time.
