That thing with that thing that has to do with suspension, sway bars, and all that jazz you modify.
(Trust me if we had the mod options you 3G peeps had I'd be all over it)
Oh.... our dashes don't crack yet

Also, YET.
I'd want to have a lower center of gravity if the car was heavier.
I remember back in the day when any type of mod came out, suckas was emptying their wallet. Like all those strut bars by richie and the others..
Sure if you're running EDFC it makes sense, but I'm pretty sure the majority who were interested, didn't have EDFC. Don't get me started on RSBs.. shiett.. so many guys would get the biggest fucking bar they could.
And BBKs.. Members installed BBKs on the rear.. like... hello. Rear bias anyone?
Luckily no one has died that I'm aware of.. couple of bad accidents though.

We do but they are all downgrades in terms of handling...They make the car look better with a drop but ruin ride quality and handling.

Down in Florida, if it's a Florida original car and you don't load the suspension by jacking up side by side, the nuts and bolts will come right off and not be hammered and bent and stripped.
Anytime you come visit in Central Texas I'll take you out in your weapon of choice.
S2000 is great car for the tight twisties and top down driving. High RPM and tight steering...mmmmm
Vette is slowly being built in my track beast. Great at the higher speed and having torque is a magical experience on the road...not so much for my wallet and tires.

Funny...I drove 3 hours each way to buy mine...we got up there and I was like, FK NO...all the creaking and rough noises and loud engine. I almost told Betty we'd wasted our Friday night for NOTHING. Then, on a whim, I said eff it...I'm buying it. By the time I got home in it at 2am, I was in love. Very odd bond with that car...I don't know if it's because it's so small, or everything is so simple and sturdy and well placed...it's almost like the car was made for me. Few spins, few scares, few times I've waxed it and done some mods on it and forget it...I love it a lot.
I took an '07 Base w/ Nav out for a test drive yesterday. Great car. I didn't like the Bronze color though. I think my preference goes Blue, White, Graphite. Not interested in silver, black, or bronze. Need to see a red in person, but that may be an option.
I still want to test drive a Type-S auto, but unless I find a screaming deal on one, or am blown away by Type-S test drive, I don't think it'll be worth the extra cost.
Need to make sure to bring an auxiliary cable with me on the next test drive, since I'll probably mostly be listening to music through my phone (pandora, spotify, google music).

The Bronze one yesterday was in great shape. ~$18k, with 42k miles, single owner, tons of Carfax dealer service records. Car's at Don White in Timonium if anybody's interested.
From my searching so far, silver seems to be most common, followed by white.
I need to make some time to detail my Miata, polish the headlights, and put her up for sale.
I had a silver car for about 7 years, so that's off the list this time. Black is too much work to keep clean. And I just wasn't feeling the Bronze. I don't urgently need a car, so I've got time to search, and I'm willing to buy a plane ticket to pickup a car that's further away.
