This is painful to me on three levels:
1. Real estate costs have gone up so much it’s prohibitively expensive to do something this grand.
2. Advertising is now a race to the bottom where showing car ads on websites has almost zero cost with all return compared to something novel like this.
3. It’s impossible to find a car like a 90s Miata these days because manual transmissions are almost dead and every car had to get heavier to have enough safety features to survive being T-boned by a Cybertruck.
Agree on the rest, but thankfully for #3 a modern base ND Miata with the 1.5 is pretty close to in weight to a NA due to a lot of weight saving work by Mazda.
