Miata jumpscare, and the right sight profile picture is even more cursed.

[@SEVEN-NIGHTRIDE]

Thanks for uploading. I own an '89 Miata, and now I'm kind of traumatized by what can happen.
BTW: where did you get all the footage?

[@ashc3765]

I drive a Na with no airbags…
I have accepted my fate 🤣

[@SEVEN-NIGHTRIDE]

Well I guess this is the price I kinda must pay

Apparently he died sniffing his mates armpit. Honestly this sports car from 30 years ago stayed in good shape though.

[@RealNaomiMizushima]

I think ND Miatas did come with passenger airbag, or did the Original NA come with them?

[@CarPro1993]

Dual airbags were added for 1994.
