I had a Miata. Very fun car to drive and to learn car dynamics with.

But it is sloooooooow. I put a turbo on mine and it was pretty good afterwards (260hp and 2300lbs).

You'll probably regret selling that sublime looking GS though.

It's called an MX5. Much more masculine....

i tried driving one in the mid '90s, my leg was bent so much that my knee was touching the side of the steering wheel. Didn't make it more than 100' until I climbed out. Felt like I was driving in a Shriners parade.

Hey Mike. I'm driving a Subaru now and love it. The technology is unbelievable.

Enjoy the Miata.

I've had 3 of them (1993, 2000, 2008 turbo). Very fun cars and only disliked by those that have never driven one.

Hey guys, I guess most missed it, but I was kiddin' about the Miata.

Looks the GS is sold though...

I took out a CTS-V a few weeks ago. Wow, Corvette performance in Caddy comfort, could get used to that

LOL. I think those that know you Mike, know you were kidding about the Miata. Unless you found one with an LS3 or better motor that is. They do fit you know.
