I think 95% of it is just to get a reaction out of the Miata guys - if some of them didn’t take themselves so seriously almost all the ribbing would disappear.

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

You want instant torque and 9 second 1/4 mile time... buy a E-stang.

For fun and sun.....get a convertible.

For I/C reliability and reasonable cost of upkeep....you wont find it in the german marks.

All around fun/dollar/wind in your hair.... its tough to beat the domestic options

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?
Does it need to be new? If not, I’d definitely recommend that you take a look at the 987.2 generation of the Porsche Cayman and Boxster. Reliable, especially because they have the M9A1 engine and can be had with a stick or PDK. They are the last generation of the hydraulic steering systems (along with the revered 911 997.2). Also no bore scoring or IMS concerns as with the M96 and M97 engines in the 996.1, 996.2, and 997.1.

Lol....nice oldsmobubble

Now how about hanging a pic of a convertible '69 Olds 4-4--2 W-32? Maybe next to the beemer? Haha!

Imho....Next to a 2 wheel ride....a convertible is next best fun to drive. And way less risky. You want something way fun and that you dont have to make an appointment with a PFS attached 3 months out....with a guy named Fritz?

Pick one of the domestic rides.
