    Default Poll: What would you do if your Miata were stolen?

    Suppose your Miata got stolen and the insurance company gave you "generous" compensation (top of the market value). What would you buy next?

    Heh. When I saw you'd posted I was wondering if maybe I should edit the poll to add "Pass out from shock"

    Yeah, I think the GTi would make a cool daily driver, but it's still a 3300 pound, open-diffed, fwd crapbox .

    Me? I wouldn't but a shiny new anything. But I would go looking for a used Evo or '02+ S2000.

    Actually, I don't have any Miata that is worth anything, and no collision on my insurance, so I would just have to picke another one to drive.........

    I'd be screwed. All my go fast parts have been bought used, so I'd have a hard time getting the insurance company to reimburse me.

    I'd buy another LE, I'm a red interior snob.
