okay, here's a legit car question.

I'm not a car guy. Cars for me have always been a way to get from Point A to Point B. I've finally decided I want a zippy fun car. I like the MX-5 in terms of looks and it's rated pretty highly by Consumer Reports. What is an equivalent car or maybe slightly higher in terms of luxury models?

I suggest this one.

For a zippy fun car, get a Tesla. I don't care which model you pick, the instant torque is a blast. It is a classic example of "speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?" The S is more luxurious than the 3. Although it is the weight of a suburban it drives like a sports car. The 3 is a lighter car, but also a little lighter on the luxury.

You smile at every stale yellow traffic light, because you are guaranteed a front row when it turns green.

It's a hybrid so it's good on the environment.

thank you for all the car porn!

I may look at that Z4. I remember all the girls in high school lusting after the Z3, which means automatic chick car.

Seriously though, what is the hate towards Miatas? Never quite understood it.
