3. Owners obsess about every detail, and triple-check everything all the time before their weekly drive. They also are actively involved in clubs and communities, learning of every potential issue that might go wrong and keep an eye on them or just go to the dealership to have them pre-emptively replaced.

This is why I want a 997 Carrera S 3.8 Gen 1.

Why sunbelt cities like Bakersfield don't cover EVERY SINGLE PARKING LOT in these I cannot understand. My car has no AC and I'd go a little farther to a shopping center throwing some guaranteed shade on my POS.

Is that because the category “sports car” that you are comparing it to is comprised of a bunch of cars at least 2-3 times the price? There has been a single month in the past 5 years when the Miata sold over 1000 units, meaning it’s being outsold 2:1 by the Porsche 911, 10:1 by the Corvette, and 2:1 by the FR-S. That…

Man it’s a great looking car but like all previous miatas it will likely continue to be a mediocre seller that people only refer to as a girl car.

It’s really important to remember that the immensely talented Stefan Bellof, who finished third, was running the only naturally aspirated car at Monaco in 1984. He was closing in on both Senna and Prost when the race was red-flagged. This is the same man who lapped the Nürburgring in 6:25.

I get it. She doesn’t want to be just given everything? It’s commendable, not what most people do when they get married but I’m impressed all the same. My wife and I are the opposite and it does get a bit annoying sometimes. We are fair when it comes to when and where we spend extra money though.

If you try this, be ready to turn around and come right back without the car.

I can relate to the sexist behavior of stealerships.

My tale is from around 2006. Started looking for a new car to replace the Nissan Sentra with 109K miles on it. I went to several different car dealerships just to drive what I was interested in. Went to a VW dealership to take a look at the Golf and Passat (BIG damn trunk!). The sales kid comes over, smirking the…

People go for that? I would just call 911 and report that my car had been stolen. I bet they return it when the cop shows up.

I went to a local dealership in Dover to look at a new S2000CR in yellow. I was 20 years old and making good money with a paid off car and a down payment that totaled about 12 grand. I talked to this older salesmen who took me seriously and we took the car out for a test drive. I ended up getting called into work so I…

That is such a great shot of the white BRZ. Double kudos to the photographer. The wide angle distortion almost makes you forget how stodgy and bland it was “styled”. Excellent shooting.

8K for the Crawford kit! You go on their site and there is no technical info or parts lists at all, no CARB info, just a paragraph about how awesome it is, oh and an add to shopping cart button of course.

where can I see more on the 930 though

A rear weight bias is a terrible thing for a young lad.

She’s not a car person on the level of Jodie Kidd, but in her historical food show The Supersizers, she seems to enjoy her rides in an MGF and a blower Bentley (yes, seriously). She is just a great presenter, witty, quick on her feet, and really an adorable lovely human being. She doesn’t deserve this.

Just to back you up, here’s what the eBay market looks like right now for GXPs right now. And these cars are 6 years old!
