I probably won't get this anyway, I had forgotten how tight the interior is...I test drove one back in '06 and remember not being too excited with the interior and buying a Grand Am GT SCT instead....

Miata? Seriously? Did Ed and Homeslice pay you to say that?

Nope, I just dislike the POS that is the RX-8 that much.

As much as I like the "theory" of the RX-8, I'd hate to live with the reality of owning one.

If I'm going to deal with reliabilty plagued rotaries the I'm going to dump money into the ultimate money pit known as the Twin turbo RX-7.

Hell, I might rock the first gen "engine eeez wear and tear item" RX-7 before an RX-8

Um I had my RX-7 for years with zero problems until I wrapped it around a tree! Then it didn't run very well...

Yeah....

A used RX-7 TT.

Thats what I mean.

I'm not some goddamn time traveler.

These lil 2 seaters are typically not big or tall guy friendly, if you want room for comfort versus needing a can opener to get out, you probably want to look elsewhere. I loved my Miata, and it was the perfect size for me. Not so much for larger friends or normal sized guys.

Yea, I've owned a RX-7, a Fiero, Buick Starfire, a Dodge Daytona, a Mustang II, an Alfa Romero, 2 Opels, an EXP, etc...I used to live for 2 seater cars!!! They have their downs but they are a hoot to drive!
