    Not entirely.
  2. A Horse With No Name
    They have completely forgotten that idea I think.

    Hell, camouflage and multiple color body panels is half the vehicles in rural Ohio. Did it have a gun rack, a dead deer or chewing tobacco streaming down the drivers door?
  4. A Horse With No Name
    Excellent, I am liking these more as time goes on. I agree with the OP for the most part.

    The C5 ZO6 is an insanely good car and available used at the same price as a used Miata... The real cost of Automotive competition is the consumables though. You may want to price out a set of tires for the Vette and for the Miata. It may be an eye opener. I may be very willing to put up with it as I live in Ohio, plan on autocrossing it, and a hard top is easier to live with in some ways than a convertible.

    Agree...I had a couple worker get drunk and wreck his...was a sad day in mudville...
  7. A Horse With No Name
    They could call it the out back... because it really does look like ass.
  8. A Horse With No Name
    If you are thinking track NC Miata 2006-2014. You want something cheap enough to write off if you eat concrete. It does happen... I have even seen cars wrecked during autocross. Used to race with the Troy Ohio Corvette club àt Kill Kare speedway in Dayton. Really clean black C4 ate the concrete wall hard during an autocross event.

    Something needs to. The Lexus RX is hideous. And I like plenty of Asian vehicles...but that is not one of those.

    I haven't...been looking for them late model used on car gurus. Probably...I think they want to simplify the assembly process. This and the Conti would be better if they were not overly soft and feminine in the design language. When the Miata/MINI Cooper owner says your design is too feminine....

    All I heard was a shop vac. Kind of liked it, inspiration for me to start up my table saw...which is an old American made Delta Unisaw. Amazing how a $500 used table saw sounds better than a 90 grand Benz.

    I actually like the 124 just the way it is. Also, would take the coupe over the convertible for the Mustang for several reasons. Not really sure...the Premium BRZ I test drove last week was 29 k and they were not willing to negotiate much... I absolutely love that configuration of Acura. Or buy a Miata in November when they go cheap. Good for 250 k miles taken care of easy.
  13. A Horse With No Name
    Both the Rolls and the Buick are awesome!
  14. A Horse With No Name
    Hopefully soon....

    I can relate, I owned a ton of fun cars...55 Chevy 2 door, 57 Chevy 2 door Hard top, 70 Chevelle, 71 Chevelle, 66 mustang Fastback, two Miatas, a Mini Cooper S...by driving cheap daily drivers. Mazda 3 and Cruze are both available cheap and get great mileage. I hated selling the TDI Jetta back because I drive as much as you do and it was getting 50 MPG plus when I sold it back to VW.

    Thankfully, this means I no longer have to drive a V6-6 speed Accord coupe in my quest for my next car...
  17. A Horse With No Name
    Of all of those choices, I would pick the Malibu with the 2.0 Turbo. Not fond of the Accord styling, and the 6 has too much road noise for me for a sedan. A Fusion would be a nice choice also, but depreciation is horrible on them here in Ohio. My daughter works in auto claims for a local insurance company. They have a running joke that if you sneeze on a focus it is totaled...because the residual values for the cars are so low. fusion suffers from much of the same... If I could go slightly used I think i would buy a Cadillac CTS or a Hemi equipped Charger.
  18. A Horse With No Name
    I actually like it.
  19. A Horse With No Name
    Ohhhhh absolutely. I wonder what I would buy if I were looking at a sedan for 30K new....
  20. A Horse With No Name
    ....so either beats the heck out of a fully loaded Altima... See I like the Mustang exhaust note better...I find it deeper and more melodic... ...and you can tell that Challenger is not a Ford Mustang because it didn't hit anything leaving the parking lot...
  21. A Horse With No Name
    And with desirable product at an excellent price and profit point for GM....
  22. A Horse With No Name
    Fixed that for ya...
  23. A Horse With No Name
    Ohhh I can totally see that. The Mustang GT is a heck of a car...if the GTI and Miata are the good buys for 25K, a Mustang GT at roughly 10K more is the buy of the century for what it is. Going into the 40K plus range ones options open up... But even then the Mustang has one of the best exhaust notes on the planet. 435 HP is hard to argue with....
  24. A Horse With No Name
    ....you don't even ahve to be tall to dislike Benz interiors. One honest complaint I ahve about them is they are often slightly counter intuitive, as if they are actually not designed for actual humans. Given a chance to take a long road trip, I would choose a Civic SI over an E class....and the Civic SI doesn't even have the best interior of small performance cars.
  25. A Horse With No Name
    It then pushes the price point to where it would have to compete with the Golf R, 5.0 Mustang, V8 Camaro, WRX STI, Focus RS, and the like. it would still be wildly out gunned. 35K will also buy a really nice used Vette or M series BMW. The BRZ is a cheap light weight sports car, nothing more. the funny thing is probably one decent amateur driver in 200 can drive a base Miata or BRZ to its full potential, and maybe 1 amateur driver in 500 can drive an Audi R8 or Corvette to its full potential. In an alternative parallel universe, a bunch of sports cars and muscle cars are sitting around on internet forums complaining about the lack of talent and Cajones/ovaries of their owners/drivers. "Gee if any of these humans had the skill and the nerve to keep their foot in it and take that last apex at the limit...it's a wonder these humans can even breed...."
