I want a 2008 Miata. A 4 cylinder manual with a couple hundred horsepower that doesn’t weigh very much and has a suspension someone thought about for a little while and a sticker price of $25 grand, and it’ll probably make better gas mileage than the old Buick Century I drive to the store today just on weight alone.
Like, if you said “2008 Miata, or a Pigani Zonda. Choose one and it’s yours for $25,000, but the terms are you have to own and drive it you can’t just sell it” I’m going for the Mazda.
Pretty easy and cheap to maintain for the most part, just don’t damage the body cuz that’s where it gets expensive and takes forever to replace, for example, the entire front half which is one piece.
Had one for two years. LOVED it. Highly recommend, tho a used Cayman may be a more practical and less worrisome alternative
I can help confirm this. I want a super car but I’m too poor.
For a lot of people the only thing holding them back from being dicks sadly is not having too much money.

Miata is extremely good taste. And getting parts for them seemingly will never be a challenge.
I want to try Lotus Elise at least once in my life
…i have a 2005 elise, a 2008 NC, and a 2017 ND: i try not to be a dick, but my wife says i drive like one…
That sounds like a wonderful collection.
How are they? I’m guessing they aren’t your daily driver?

Can you expand on the last sentence a bit? Why is Cayman more practical?
NA or ND.
