Depends on the kid on the Big Wheel.

Yes!!

I guarantee you one thing: You will be hard pressed to find comps to compare the price with!

True. They don't need the reminder of where that final ride is headed.

That was my first reaction. My second was that Harold did it better.

You live in a mountain town, say NM, CO, or WY, or maybe somewhere in the Sierras or the Cascades. You live on a dirt road that is frequently covered in snow, and when the snow melts, it exposes the rocks. You want to drive something that works OK for all purposes and doesn't look completely uncivilized. THIS is the…

There was a guy in Albuquerque who put Volvo intercoolers and turbos on these and on the last series of 280ZX. A number of UNM professors had cars done by him.

AND he didn't bother to fix the odometer. What other "good enough" compromises did he make?

“Yer honor, I didn’t say Minnie’s insane, I sad she was f—-ing Goofy!”

Rob, how long have you been waiting for a chance to write "squircle"?

I kinda like it. I would like it more if it was as less bland.

I got 400K miles out of one with the original engine. 

I bought a ‘93 124-platform convertible sight unseen from a mechanic friend in California. I flew there, hopped in it and drove home to Colorado. The only drama occurred when I woke up from a nap in the passenger seat to see that my daughter had the cruise control set at 114 as we cruised across the Utah desert.

AND the seller has taken care of the engine wiring harness and head gasket—the twin Achilles heels for the ‘94 & ‘95 E320. NP all day long!

Drive that with a frazzed out fright wig and the facial expression of…

Does your Miata have an automatic and comparably more armored stablemate for I25 through downtown Denver?

Well, tell the real world to get off its fanny and cough one up for you. This is imperative, man!

True enough, but I’ve just given you an excuse to go out and drive one again: “This guy on the internet told me I had to!”

Just for grins drive an old Mercedes SL600 with an automatic. Then reassess your opinion.

I don't know. My wife can't drive stick, we love Cabo, and she's got a birthday coming up...
