I had an AE86 offered to me for $1,000 one time way back. Before I knew what it really was... Still beat myself up over that one... That and letting my MKIII Supra go... Now they're worth considerably more, go figure... I really like the Miata on paper. Especially for being a DD, since it offers the best mpg with some modern safety features. Aside from the AE86, which can be a tad better in mpg. Would like to have one of the rwd Celica, but no aftermarket...

^ You haven't driven a Miata yet, I take it? Do yourself a favor and test drive an NA. It's truly wonderful.

Nope not yet. I hear they're great handling cars. Just lacking in power some, but that can be fixed easily enough. Especially with having such a great platform to start with. 2,100-2,300 pounds or so depending on year. I hear they're super easy to work on too. Kind of funny since I've started looking into them, how much I've likened to them. Get some coil-overs for it, mmmmmm. biggrin.gif Plan on keeping the Celica for as long as I can. So it may be awhile.

I'm serious, you have to drive it to truly experience it. It's incomparable. So go, find some free time and take the keys from some used-car salesman.

Depends on the dealer. I had a fairly poor (and I mean in standing) used car dealership, selling a ratty 2k example, something ridiculously low. Dude took a copy of my license and said "Go to town," tossing me the keys. Quite a good drive, that.

I think you'd be removed from the premises at that point. That or they'd just stare out you.

I went up to my local Toyota dealership and told them i wanted to test drive a 2012 Scion Tc and i was only 17 at the time and he didn't even ask for my license he just went and got the keys lol

Quite roomy for a 2 door, lots of head room, and it was pretty fast/fun nice handling. Pretty nice car
