Thread: I gotta Miata, but I wanna.....

  1. #1

    Default I gotta Miata, but I wanna.....

    I really want the black S2000 with a hardtop that I just saw, especially since they just bumped up the engine size and increased the low-end torque. Looked GREAT with a hardtop; I didn't even know Stook's had hardtops.

    I also want a BMW Z3 coupe, M version. Those look great, in a quirky, clown-shoe kind of way.

    Waiting for my wallet to catch up with my tastes! The Miata keeps me pretty darn happy though, I just occasionally dream of big power.

    I have heard of "a car owning you" instead of you owning the car. I'm afraid if I spent 30 large or more on a dream car, I would over obsess about it to the point of not enjoying it.

    Yikes the Honda website shows $3,145 for the hardtop!

    It's just money... Go for the clown shoe... Or better yet, one for each foot!

    I thought you sold yours bigD?

    Spoon makes a nice CF hardtop, if thats your preference. S2K is ok, but sign me up for the Elise.

    My eyes have been wide open for a long time, and my next car will probably be..... (drum roll.....)


    another Miata.

    I don't think a better deal exists. (price, depreciation, insurance, upkeep, performance per $, etc, etc)

    If I ever find a nicer Miata than the one I have, I might upgrade.

    or not.

    I'm partial to the NA's, but I haven't driven 2nd gen. I would be happy to own 2, one to keep nice, another to FI. I really get a kick out of throwing the keys to a friend and seeing their face when they come back from the test drive.
