Miata? bah. I'll take the S2000 thank you very much.
The car I want? A Subaru Impreza WRX. Not a cheep car at $32K outfitted like I would like it, but I can drive it offroad.
My current car? A 1991 Geo Storm, and it gets me around just fine. Or did, until ice and a downhill turn introduced me to the curb and the joy of replacing just about everything attached to the left front axle.
