Damn the weather is going to be nice this weekend and I need a topless car. We scheduled the school one week too early.

Chris, if Bradley lets me borrow the Elise, you can borrow my Miata.

...and then I'll provide the sawzall.

We can make a DP car out of that thing!

I am really kicking the idea of getting a convertible beater. Something used that gets decent mileage that is cheap and pretty reliable.

Any ideas?

...get a 90 to 93 Miata and sell it to me in October or November.

Heres what I do!!

I just get a car that looks just like my race car/trailer queen.......but CONVERTABLE!

Despite the V6, and auto tranny it at least makes me THINK i'm in a quicker car.

I figured I'd see this from ya eventually Chris. You go around thinkin', "Miatas, they're cool but I can take it or leave it." Then ya drive one and suddenly:

BAM!! You're bit dude!!1!

I've been looking in ebay for Miatas. I really wouldn't be able to buy one, but I can look and pretend.

Couple of nice 97 models on there as well as a 94.

Miata is fun, but a t-top MR2 is still very open and fun too. I test drove a 91 Miata the other day and the kid sold it out from under me after I told him I'd give him his asking price. I have a CHEAP sunroof MR2 for sale right now. $700 drives it home.
