    Thanks dude, that's what I was looking for.



    Bah, that's probably the best idea...but also no fun! lol.

    No, you were right. I want a daily...but I was just thinking the convertible would be nice. 4 door is more practical. I just can't think of any 4 doors in the price range that I don't hate

    A Miata doesn't seem like a very practical daily driver, imo.

    Why not? I would understand if more was required than toting me to and from work, but that's all I need it for really. That, and a primary on my insurance so my Z doesn't rape me.

    I'm open to suggestions of 4 doors that don't suck. i.e. no 90's Civics (I don't like the 4 door body)

    I daily mine...but then again, i've had 2-seater cars since I've had a license and wouldn't know what to do with a larger car. Besides, a good way to keep friends is to know who has what car and borrow it when needed :boobies:
    (I finally bought a 5x8 trailer and use it when needed )
    02' Miata

    This. I've never had anything but 2 seaters really... any time I need more we take someone else's car.

    Doppel your car is what makes me consider a Miata, best looking one I've seen.
