Ok, so the justification goes like this...
The '96 Miata is a car I've had for far too long to part with, and in real terms it's not worth too much at this point, no point in ditching it for a modest amount of cash. This car will probably be stored in some secluded area until a time in my life where I have to avenge someone's death, and then I'll unearth it for the ride of my life... Picture that Charger in the first Fast & Furious.
The Lotus is well, the Lotus, and how can you part with a Lotus... Selling this is a non-starter.
The 2007 Miata would fit the bill of a fun summer car that is not as extreme and delicate as the Lotus, but not as much of an old, modified basketcase as the '96. It's a sensible sports car.
All of this makes sense somehow.

Might as well take advantage of a low cost of living area by accumulating roadsters.

Smart choice in coming here to try and justify it.
Nobody on this forum is going to dissuade you, so...

Yeah, it's not so much of a "Hey should I do this?" as much as it is a "Hey I'm going to do this."

Having fun in my '06, so no argument from me. Since you'd have the Lotus AND this Miata, *I* would probably unload the '96. But I'm not you, and you're not me.

PRHT. (excuse me... :o)
Saw a really nice blue one at my track day on Thursday. They've really grown on me.

Yep I love the PRHT, always have. Seriously the only Miata I'd consider. :cool: :up:

Meh, the 1996 blue book value is $3300. And I'd have to find someone who wants to buy a modified, megasquirt-running car. What's even the point? I own camera lenses more valuable than that. I'm not going to sell off 12 years of memories for $3300.

Sooooo... Did you buy it yet? ;)

No, but I guess you could say it's on layaway at this point.

Got it home last night. It's undoubtedly a bigger, softer, cushier Miata, but when you really start to toss it around, it has the same spirit underneath as the NA. I don't mind it, but I can't see selling the NA.

Good stuff!!
I love the new RF, but it's a bit expensive here. Might as well get another 86 and mod one of them to hell and back.

Very nice indeed..., but exactly what Mazda call that color? Is that some kind of red or something else?
Sad, little man

It was officially called Copper Red. Copper Red Mica I believe.

Ah... anyway, it's a cool color. :up:
