I believe that that the Money Pit Miata did more to build your channel than any other project save for maybe the Hi/Lo 350Z's. It's certainly why I subscribed in the first place.

[Mikey_mau]

I miss this series and this car. The in the driveway projects were grassroots and had an awesome appeal. Watching Jobe struggle and then drive the car with a smile on his face is what cranking on cars is all about.

[evane]

We need another project car like the Miata! Honestly this series is what made me watch you guys, thanks for this.

[adamwest]

After hearing Jobe talk about how he got ahold of the Miata, I think we need a "meet the hosts" video where each of you explains where you're from, what got you into cars, and what you've owned/how you got it. Could be a cool miniseries

[dariuscasaus]

Gosh, that's how long it's been since Money Pit started. You'd be pretty lucky to find an NA Miata that decent looking for $2300.

[benst]

I know it's tough doing all of this in a home garage but the diy feel of doing all the work in your driveway really made the series both relatable and inspirational. The money pit E36 build hasn't felt the same with the shop and four figure pieces of equipment. Kudos to the Donut team for an awesome miata build and I hope wherever Eddie is he's doing well.

[Swedishfish]

I don't know if james, jeremiah & nolan read these, but I really want you to know that you guys have embodied a supportive car culture that's helped give me the confidence to start modifying my car. You are honest about the pain and the pay off of venturing into projects that have no clear instruction manual. After seeing you push through countless hurdles I started to realize I could do the same.

Now I’m looking at finishing a build for a 20 year Volvo with close to 500 BHP that had no clear guide on how to get there.... I guess what I’m trying to say is I’ll always rock my “give it the beans” air freshener long after the scent fades. Thank you to the entire team at Donut Media

[jaball]

I see you've read my book "How to Turn a $2, 300 Miata into an $8, 500 Miata for Only $25, 000!"

[MidknightGhosts]

Money pit was such a ride it made me want to buy a miata even though I had no interest in them before. Now I've bought one and I'm going to be working on it over winter.

[crashbuilds]

Money Pit is pretty much the reason I got into cars. It normalised the fact things can go wrong, that the cheap way isn't always the right way, and gave me the confidence to get my own car and start taking ownership over it's maintenance. Thanks Zach, you're a legend!

[CloveDiary]

Money Pit Miata was the series that got me into pursuing being a mechanic for a living. I'm on my last year of school and did a lot of work in the summer and I'm loving every second of it. Thank you Zach and Donut Media.

[CamaroTrackDay]

I think the money pit miata is still my favorite series you all did. It is so authentic and relatable since most of it was done in a driveway. Props to Donut for starting this show. I am still loving the new content. Thanks!

[muddytiresmtb]

You guys are bringing up the new generation of car enthusiasts and I appreciate every one at donut for the hard work

[Retracy]

I was here from the beginning of the build and it's crazy to see the end. A lot of people on here say it's the main reason they subscribed and I definitely agree.

After watching an episode with the Money Pit Miata, I was always motivated to go tackle my own repairs. Up to Speed is what brought me to the channel but the Money Pit Miata is by far the most entertaining and motivational segment on Donut. This channel makes me glad to be a car guy.

[JamesOKeefe-US]

This entire series was tremendous and I still rewatch episodes. Zack is a spectacular host and showing the challenges and even things that didn't work really give us an idea of how complex and challenging these builds can be. Editing was absolutely pro level and the entire team was amazing. What a legacy to have on the channel!!

[whitezombiefan]

I want to hangout with Jobe so bad, he’s honestly the coolest dude. So humble and chill, exactly what the car culture used to be.

[fredprice]

So my son just got his first car and I turned him onto donuts videos. I want him to see the possibilities that are out there for different types of vehicles. It’s nice seeing him get excited with ideas for his car. I do all my own work on my vehicles and I’m hoping to get him comfortable to be able to do his as well. Your videos I truly believe will help with that. Thanks for what you all do!

[cobrakia]

Bring back money pit!!
Bring back high low!!!

[migatronn]

Huge thanks from Miata owners everywhere!! Y’all helped me out a ton and I know I’m not the only one.

[reminder]

When i subbed to the channel i was waiting each day for the miata videos, the miata is the legend of this channel, the mascot
