I would love to throw around a miata... but I don't have enough $ to buy one as a weekend car and it's not practical as a daily driver.
and it's funny because none of you can make fun of the miata really... if you look at percentages... I'm sure a higher percentage of women drive solaras than they do miatas.
I like miatas alot. Mainly cause they handle well, and its a two seater convertible!
As far as driving a girl car, I dont mind it all, I get tons of complements from chicks about my car all time. Id also would rock a black or grey Turbo bug, or a cabrio with a vr6 swap in it. Of coarse the only way Id make it more of a guy car is by dropping them and adding some rims and lip skirts. They look pretty good that way. But Ive seen a few and they look sweet.
