I've heard a few including Tommy Salami say that they have more control and fun in the Miata (he just sold his S for one)...I still think you'd be more likely to break neck to look at a honda, but you got a supercharger to make up for it.
I agree. The S2k is a way nicer looking vehicle. Stock for stock, the S would probably school the Miata also. The S is 300 pounds heavier, however, it also has 70hp more, plus a bit more torque.

It's too bad the Miata looks like a vagina mobile. Always has and always will. The S looks like it oozes machismo.

Why are Asians so in love with Sony? Seriously, it's like their go-to brand. I'm not saying it's bad by any stretch of the imagination, but all the Asians I know buy Sony up like crazy.

It's like "I need a new camela. I go see Sony and den all da atha blands"

I don't know about oozing machismo...
but I just love the looks of the S. If I'm willing to pay for it and have the financial means, I'm getting another at some point.

Or if I get really smart and lucky, NSX...or something with 8 cylinders that gets shit miles per gallon that won't matter because I live very close to work.

I meant comparatively speaking when you look at the Miata vs. S.

And yes, NSX is awesome. I actually really really wanted to buy one this year but said fuck it. They're starting to go up in value and it's just not worth it. People have this emotional attachment to them and think they're worth so much more. I'm sorry, but a 14 year old car, which by the time it was new was no longer even considered a super car is not worth 65k US. By the time I get that car to Canada (good luck finding a Canadian spec model), that's an 80k car. It costed 120k CAN NEW. I've been looking at many American sites, including NSXprime, and many of them just stay up for sale forever.

For that money I can get a car that will school an NSX in every which way. They were amazing in 1991, but by 2005 they were an overpriced joke, hence why the dealerships had big issues trying to sell them. Sexy as hell, but beyond that, not all that crazy.

In 2005 you could still get a new NSX or a new TL. Same size engine. Both had 6MT. TL had Brembos, so I can't imagine braking was all that better. LSD? Check. Although the NSX puts out more HP, the TL put out more torque. Yes, the NSX is a faster car, but you aren't getting all that much more for over double the price of a new TL at the time. Pisses me off...

Yeah, man...I agree...your anger seems strongly founded in the fact that you can't have one. I know that emotion very well.

My brosef drove a sweet miata when we were in school. I had a bike while in college so he was always picking me up. We always cruised together in it. Everyone thought we were gay. True story.

This one time, in the S...I covered the passenger seat with pillows and blankets and drove them to Mom's with the top down. All the girlies were waving and smiling and laughing...

I really felt like the man, a real GQ gentleman...

Till I realized they probably thought I was le ghey.

Just took it for a spin and I fit way more comfortably in it than in an s2000. I even have about 1/2" clearance for my head when the roof is up!

However, maybe it's just my mind playing games with me, but I feel an s2000 with nothing more than an intake is faster than this supercharged Miata which apparently is putting down 270hp to the wheels...

The s2000 definitely sounds sexier, that's for sure. With just an intake, it has such an intoxicating sound.

They were laughing because they saw the pink thong you were wearing sticking out...

It's those high revs..

Miata feels much more roomy than an s2k. I'm not nearly as tall as you, but I never felt cramped in the Miata. On the other hand, getting in and out of the s2k is a chore.

I had no issues getting in and out of the S with the top down...top up, you had to contort a little but I got used to it. It's no wonder that the driver side bolster gets worn first.

I remember feeling cramped on my maiden voyage home...but afterward, it was the TL that felt like there was way too much wasted space...

I'm enjoying your financial advice.

Today, I emptied my bank account and went to the grocery store and bought up all the cans of green beans based on your recommendation! I am hoping to net a huge gain when vegetables and farming costs skyrocket!

Soundcloud is blocked at work so I can't even get the link to post it for you lol. I'll get you sorted out when I get home. No single tracks but there's an old mix and a couple live performances on there. I should probably update it soon.

Investing 101

Since you bought all cans instead of fresh veggies, scrap metal will tripple in value. Empty the 401k and buy scrap metal NOW
