yah, i dont care either way but it's their way of living so gotta respect that.
ive never had seal but ive had whale. it didn't taste all that great. i mentioned this a few times, it appears to be beef steak, but tastes like salmon.

its like taking a bite into a delicious looking sausage only to find out it's a faking tofu sausage.

yah, i got nothing to talk about right now cause my Z is already put away for the winter, no car projects planned until Spring at least. only thing i will do is turn the tires by hand later this month..maybe do another turn in Feb.

Leingod

you're not alone. I have a Civic if you want to 'work' on that

yah, ive been pricing out a few cheaper cars i might be interested in replacing my fit for. wat do you all think about the new miata? ive never owned a vert and thought it might be something id like to keep for a while?

id do the club with the brembo/bbs package and basically drive it stock, maybe change tires to RE11's down the road. price is about $32K

will run my G as dd until she falls apart (another 4-5yrs?). she's at 35k miles right now so I'm thinking she isn't too old yet.

or going back to the BRZ idea... about $28K for limited, but will need mods to make it mine. will drive the G and BRZ as dd..

my requirement is light weight, RWD, MT..

kenchan

my Z will stay.. of course. not selling her for a long time.

Leingod

Miata's haven't changed besides the body styles. I'd go used. A Mazda 3 would perform just as well at the Miata also. I'm personally not a fan since you really have to flog them to pick up any "fun" speeds.

Same with the BRZ. Fun cars, but why not just get a FR-S? Cheaper with 99% identical stuff throughout. You're just paying for the subbie badge.

Why not a Fiesta or Focus ST? Hell, just wait for the Focus RS. For an extra 4k, it'll kill all of your cars compared to what you'd get out of the Miata.

That's what I'm sayin. I reallllllllly like the New Focus RS. It is more family friendly than the Z plus I can still have fun with it on the weekends. But I don't want another car payment now. Maybe once my wife's car is payed off.

The ecoboost mustang is in that range too and looks better than the twins. But the Miata, looks nasty in the rear view mirror.

actually the new miata is lighter than the original miata despite the bump in power and safety equipment. true that it takes effort to get these going, but i think that's part of the fun maybe? still does 0-60 under 6sec though..if S2k's were still sold that would be my #1 choice, but since they arent..

yah, BRZ limited's interior was nicer than the scions so that was why i suggested the BRZ. always wanted to try one for kicks.. but the hassle of modding them is kinda they look so cheap and ugly in stock form.

and yah, my requirement is that it is RWD, maybe AWD, but the only AWD i'd consider at this point would be a subi. and i dont like the current wrx/sti's shape.

kenchan

hummm... never thought id be looking at a ford?

my neighbor a few houses down would have a field day with this though... he luvs fords.
