after almost 11 years of ownership, I think I'm ready to move on. I want something more comfortable for fat, old y8s. like a four door e30 with four wheels driving things. and some other newer family car.

I just brought home a red 92 that I'm stripping down to parade rest and rebuilding from the ground up. The idea is that by the time summer comes around next year, this one will look like it just rolled off the showroom floor.

you're projecting your opinion on me.

it is silly to think that my youth and vigor revolve around owning a miata.

Strip the engine compartment and clean and paint everything. Install new steering wheel plus add some rear stiffening. Might upgrade the sound system also, haven't decided on that yet.

oh i'll stick around. where else will I get my politics?

in any case, there's nothing un-fun about a turbo e30 or something similar. it's only a few pounds heavier than a miata and holds 3 child seats. plus long wheelbase, tight turning radius, and huge caster. i could take kids drifting.
