For those who don't know him, I'll vouch for Dean. I'd trust him with my car, although I'm surprised he's looking at a Miata after years of small block Chevys.
DFW: Swap for an 02 4WD Honda CR-V for 3 days??
Oops, unexpectedly sold!!! I put it on Ebay with a high reserve and there's 6 days left and a guy really wants it and is flying in tomorrow. We'll finish the transaction at the bank itself, so apparently it is sold. I put the reserve for slightly under what I paid for it 2 years ago and with 20k less miles and well...who knew?? So looks like I may be renting a Miata : -)
Update: Heh. Well it is OFFICIAL, met at WaMu, cashiers check is legit, account is legit, watermarks are there, his info all checked out, bill of sales signed, CRV is gone! Now I'm thinking I should've put the reserve at what I paid for it 2 years and 20k miles ago....who knew?? Just glad it is all over and I didn't get carjacked, I was comfortable once he walked into the bank with cameras all over. :-D

Why not just rent a miata? Less liability and hassle.

Actually, where does one rent a Miata around here ? I looked into it briefly in the past and there were Spec Miata rentals with rollcages and no a/c.Originally Posted by CosmosMpower
Just looking for a regular, stock if possible Miata.
Been travelling a ton! Europe 4 times since December...but no more travelling for awhile. But then again, just a couple of autocrosses left, heh.
Hertz rents new Miatas, but they are automatics.Actually, where does one rent a Miata around here ? I looked into it briefly in the past and there were Spec Miata rentals with rollcages and no a/c.

Is that with the new 6-speed, paddle shifted auto? While it wouldn't be me first choice of transmission, it is a huge improvement over the old 4-speed 'box.
FWIW, way back at Mazda's Zoom-Zoom Live event, Jon W. and I were able to go almost as fast on the autox course with a 6-speed slushie as we did in the manual.

I thought Jon actually pulled his best time in a slushbox.
