Damn I think you guys want me to get rid of the TL more than I want to
Without a doubt I'm keeping the TL. It's almost paid off and I've put way too much into it to let it go. I barely drive it now and it's mechanically fine. After 8 years and 123k miles it has some exterior and interior blemishes but that's to expected.
Once I get through school I'll be focused on getting myself a house, not having a project car. I love cars, I always have and I always will, but they aren't always the smartest thing to blow money on.
BUT since we are talking about new cars, a S2k would be great. I've always loved the 350Z as well so that would be an option. The low end torque of the VQ engines is amazing. I've been driving my dad's G35x for almost two weeks straight and I get annoyed once I'm back in the TL because I feel like I have to floor it to get it moving from a stop.
Overall I'm happy with my TL and everything I've done to it but I should have waited a few more years and gotten a KBP Type-S.

to RX8s. I've known 4 people with them over the years and two of them had to replace the engine. There's a reason why rotary engines aren't popular

Yea Miatas are pretty cool. You just have to be able to fit in them. Tyler is about the same size as me, but I dont fit.

I think there's some stuff you can do to prevent flooding, if that was under control, I think it's a great car, even with the rotary.

I drove it, slow as beep. Have to wait until it gets to a 6500 rpm to see a little action
and takes hell of a time to climb there haha
If you compare it to a TL, it's a double kill for you after a VQ engine
and was a stick shift
Edit: What's wrong with Morgan?
