      Well, I want something fun to drive fast that won't get me 1) arrested or 2) wrapped around a tree. I know just enough Gran Turismo to be dangerous, so I figure an MX-5's a good start.

      And don't worry, I'm not going to go all "kid with dad's Civic who saw The Fast and the Furious 27 times" on you with the Maxwell House bumblebee can exhaust or the giant body kit. I'm going to keep it tasteful. (Except for the giant Hatsune Miku vinyl.)

      And if y'all insist on me having a manly man car...the engine bay will gladly accept a Chevy LS1. Now I have 350 HP. HO. HO. HO.

        FM does that, too. They have a few V8 swapped cars.

          If you put the small block in the Miata, I'd consider that manly. otherwise you'll still be driving a Miata

                My neighbor had one and tossed me the keys when I had to run to the corner store real quick. I barely got the door shut back then. It wasn't made for thick guys. I wasn't even fat back then.

                  I'm 6-1. I might be able to steer it with my knees, but my eye level is right with the visors. I sat in one at the auto show in Detroit a few years ago. I could barely get in and out of it.

                    Now that my daily driver is paid off and I have access to a garage...Miata? Thinking of picking one up and kitting it out, maybe slapping a turbo on. Maybe even autocross it someday. Cheap, customizable, usable, reachable limits, a hoot to drive, good on gas, not so much power I end up around a tree (I am NOT The Stig.)
                    That looks eminently reasonable. Older ones are available in pretty good condition fairly cheap.

                    (And when I think "ricer", I don't think Miata, I think Civic. I also think a certain look from cosmetic changes that doesn't actually make the car faster, unlike turbocharging a Miata, which actually would make it faster.)

                          How many miles are on it now?

                          Alternators are easy and cheap to replace if you're willing to do it yourself. You'll save about $150-250 vs. using a shop.

                              They don't know how long it has based on "some" play in the crank. I'll bet the tranny ****s the bed before the engine unless its a standard.

                                Right, it was a complete SWAG. It could be 20k, could be 100k.

                                What do you mean standard?
