That's a nice car, too. If I wasn't trying to get my Camaro and my bike roadworthy, I might be interested myself.

nope. those miatas get 30+ mpg, and with a stick shift. I'll have myself a fun little car. and eventually I want to do an LS1 swap into it when it's not a DD anymore. some company makes hardtops for it that make it look a lot better, least when I want to have a roof.

I like s2000s, but they're a lot more expensive, and don't handle as well as the Miata. Otherwise I would be interested.

nice. well if I do get a Miata, I'll have to take you for a ride in it to change your opinions about mazda. if there's a M&G on june 2nd I'll be down in the area and I'll have my bros speed3 which is a blast to drive. the thing that's great about Mazda is their cars are made with the driver in mind. they're a blast to drive. now just imagine a miata with a corvette engine in it....they do the same swap in s2ks sometimes too.

yeah 6500 is a bit much for me, plus I am looking for a manual, I'm deadset on that. I'll ask some of my friends who are looking for cars though.

most japanese cars are. I miss cars where you could stand in between the engine and the radiator. working on those is so easy, so much room.



BTW, the LS1 just barely fits in the miata engine bay

yeah, but handling isn't as good, but not by too much. the price tag and gas mileage is the big difference. also
