    Welcome!

    Nice cars! I just sold my 30k mile '91 RX-7 vert to buy my '06 RX-8. I've got both the Miata and rotary sickness.

    Enjoy the Miata, I think you'll love it.

    Watch out for the guys at the westside meets. They'll have you autocrossing one of your cars before you know it.

    Unfortunately I probably won't be able to afford one for quite some time. Sure things will change when I get my Master's degree.

    how are you liking your 8?

    I love it. It's fast and confidence inspiring on the track, yet comfortable and refined enough to make a great daily driver or long distance GT car. The fuel mileage is pathetic, but I knew what I was getting myself into with that (and it still beats what the FD got by a long shot). The longer I own it, the more I appreciate what a capable car it really is.

    Considering how cheap they are (I've heard of a few guys getting them for around $20k brand new), I think everyone should try one.

    I do still plan to add another Miata to the fleet someday, though. Maybe an NC to build up for CSP and really piss miatamoto off.

    True... the '89 Mustang I had was pretty much bulletproof - even under my lead foot...


    But I've never really had a problem with my 1st-gen RX's... solid little cars, and (to me, at least) very Miata-esque (or vice-versa, I guess).
