He's gonna get given the Miata treatment first.

If there is anything left, the B/G/A body guys will defile whatever still remains.

I reaaaaally don't wanna get a Miata.

Mostly because although I know that they are neat and zippy little cars, I still need a measure of practicality and an AE86 or an RX7 at least has a back-seat/trunk to put stuff in.

You have a great opportunity to get a real classic that is only going to appreciate.

That's a very good point, and plus, it's not really a classic car that I want to sit in a garage.

I wanna go do some Autocross stuff with it, although I really don't want to push it too hard. Just enough to have some fun, which shouldn't be hard.

Practicality:


Miatas have decent sized boots. The NA has the spare taking up space, but the NB has the spare in a recess and NC has sealant instead of either.

Yep, suggest the OP goes to that thread in A/T as the AI rule thread mentions.

OP have you considered the new F150? You can autocross it on the way back from Home Depot.

Then what about a V8 swapped Volvo wagon? All the utility and twice the performance.

Not one step backwards!

What's the deal with exposed timing belts in japanese cars, anyway? Seems like you're just begging for trouble to me.

They're always at least a tooth off, so might as well make it easier to access..
