THE MIATA FROM HELL: BOOGER COOKIE TAKES BOZEMAN
You see a lot of unique builds in the Montana 4x4 scene, but every once in a while, something rolls through a parking lot that stops you dead in your tracks. This is the "NB" Miata from Hell, and quite frankly, it’s the most glorious piece of automotive chaos I’ve seen all week.
Mad Max Vibes in the 406
Forget the "hairdresser" stereotypes; this build has gone full Mad Max. The fenders are gone, the body has been trimmed with surgical (or perhaps chainsaw) precision, and the stance is wide enough to make a Raptor sweat. It’s got a raw, post-apocalyptic aesthetic that screams "built, not bought."
The Setup
This isn't just a lifted car with a spacer kit. This NB is rocking:
32-inch Mud Terrain Tires: Stuffed under the wheel wells with plenty of "clearance" (read: Sawzall work).
External Exoskeleton: A custom cage that looks ready for a rollover or a desert raid.
Custom Rear Bed: The trunk has been deleted in favor of a flatbed setup, complete with a fire extinguisher—because when you're driving something this insane, safety is a relative term.
"Booger Cookie"
The real kicker? The nameplate on the back. Emblazoned across the rear bumper is "BOOGER COOKIE." I don't know the backstory, and I’m not sure I want to, but it fits the irreverent energy of this rig perfectly.
The Verdict: I bet this guy parties. You don't build a 32-inch-tired, exoskeleton-clad Miata unless you have a high tolerance for adrenaline and a very low interest in what the HOA thinks.
Captured in the wild. Keep an eye out for this legend on the streets of Bozeman—you'll probably hear those mud terrains humming before you see the "Booger Cookie" dust cloud.
