Pretty stupid but gosh do I love the 911.

Because the SRT4 isn't much less terrible than the base Caliber. Whereas the Neon was terrible but the SRT4 Neon was so very full of win.

Chevy took the blunt Cobalt and supercharged it so that it could punch way above its weight.

The Caliber didn't make any sense. The 265 hp SRT4 with a six-speed manual changed that.

Take it easy there, Jeff Gordon. Driving a rear-heavy 12-cylinder Italian supercar in the rain with wide, balding tires at speed and resulting in mostly cosmetic damages is better than your average "tool."

This is cool, wow I've always wanted a yellow Lambo like that espec- IT'S NINE MINUTES LONG?

A mild drop, hardtop or rollbar (NOT stylebar), turn-signal intakes, and R-package front lip do wonders to eradicate the "cute" look.

It is indeed a sickness.

People forget that the Miata is an old car. Stock, its chassis is softer than my ding-dong at a Celine Dion concert. Stock, it's slower than Congress. Stock, it's darty and squirrely like a pubescent boy. Stock, it looks like a bar of soap. But who the heck keeps it stock? NA Miatas today are like Fox-bodied Mustangs…

Yes the S2k has more peak HP, but you have to (get to?) rev for it. That said, it's a fantastic car that was undoubtedly inspired by the Miata... which was inspired by the Elan... which was...

I have a black 95 too. Did Pablo Picasso mount your license plate?

You have my sympathy. I thought it was twin-engined.

Still a better name than "Ferrari F150."

Can you get it on one wheel? (I'm thinking about a wheelie, but you can get creative.)

Do these people accept you or chuck empty bottles of prune juice at you while driving to bingo at the community center?

A few old tough guys will put up with uncomfortable or impractical cars (of which the 911 is not, I know) but I think you're right - few will put up with manuals. Arthritis doesn't play well with stiff clutches, shifting is difficult and takes your hand off the steering wheel...

Me too. And by the time I'm an empty-nester or rich enough to justify a third car or three-car garage, most NAs here in the Midwest will be rusted away. SEIZE THE DAY - BUY THE NA.
