Man did this original post get derailed. 
Oh well. It was a worthless subject anyway. One way or another it still brought out the same bashing that usuually goes on in other posts from the same few members.

Absolutely..... HOWEVER.... just adding 3 tiny teeny words would help qualify his statement.... He said in regards to the 84 C4 "which we all know are worthless and really don't perform well"..... All he had to do is add IN MY OPINION... I would bet that an 84 C4 would outperform the land yacht he has pictured on his shirt in many ways....and thats not an opinion....

Times were different back then, nobody gave it to me, I worked construction 7 days a week to buy it. And I didn't buy it for basic transport, I had other ulterior motives which paid off in dividends! I did things in that car that most guys only dream of, and can see why a young man might have the same ideas today, just saying.......

Thats the interesting thing about time and the finality of life, as you age what you consider old changes dramatically. I was there when I was a kid, and I now recognize the strength of youth and the wisdom of old age. Dont worry you may not understand the old "geezers" now, but eventually you will be one either way cause old man time comes calling for everyone.......then you can teach the young whippersnappers about nostalgia!

How much prices got to go up to give you the respect you desire on a car that is born in 84 and 12 years later, replaced by something much better and the next king took over yet again. Sorry, the newer cars were out there earning respect while all the old guys could do is grumble about the lack of respect for their old junk.
When the first C4 came out, I'm sure it had lots of respect then. That day is over. Wish they'd realize that when your time is up, it is up.

Oh, now you are being insulting. Thanks but no thanks. Old age is a curse. I don't GAS if you insult my mother but cursing me with growing old is crossing the line. I figure at my age, after 15 more years, I could GAS about being alive and probably prefer not to be and leave it at that. At the way my body is deteriorating that I have noticed, being old is more of a curse than anything. I have seen first hand with my clients what old age does. My wife treats them or what's left of them. Thanks but no thanks.
When I was a young man an old man told me the story of the two bulls up on a hill looking down at a herd of cows. The young bull excitedly told the old bull that they should run down there and get one of the cows. The old bull said, why don't we -walk- down there.......and get em all.....

Don't knock the benefits of age....

Unfortunately, the body might not cooperate and all you to get them all or even get anything. As a young man, I could be drunk 3 nights in a row, get lucky all of them and still make it to classes. Today, I doubt I could do that. Since I hit 44, my eyesight was no longer 20/20. I had 2 knees scoped. My endurance isn't close to what it used to be when I was young and not even trying. So whatever those benefits of old age are, it sure isn't in the body.
There's help for that...never needed it myself but just sayin.......

Say that they don't perform and basically not worth fixing up. Yeah, they make easy for me to decide if I want MTOD again.

so if they don't perform and are not worth fixing up why didn't they cut up a similar year miata?

I'm fine with having fun with junkers but to say that any year c4s aren't worth having as a hobby car doesn't sit well with me.

Yeah I don't know, unit body I guess. I've been watching Road Kill since day one, they don't know the year of the car anymore, I've heard it was an 85 (their cut up video supports this), that it was an 85 with the crossfire engine (because they don't know anything about c4s), and now they are saying its an 84.
