Anyone calling that a hair dresser car would be so, so sad when the thing absolutely monstered them.....I like their work!!
Same.  I imagine the $50k is on top of the original purchase price of the car.

MX-5 turned 1 year old over the weekend.   :bday:
Celebrated by hanging out in the garage attached to a battery maintainer...

I hate the ND.  I really wanted it to suck.  It's so freakin' awesome that I want one.  A fellow Miata Club member is making some noise that he's going to make me "an offer I can't refuse" for my 94 this spring. If he's right, and I can't actually refuse it, it might make a dent in the purchase of an ND.

The ND is one of the very few cars right now I'd consider buying new.  I'd look to see if anyone's bailing on theirs for sure, but I bet used ones will be rare.

^ Guelph used dealer here has a 62km Fiat 124 on the lot.
What would have happened here??  Somebody bought it, registered then their financing fell through??

I'd still go S2000.  And the S2000 even has a chance of appreciating in value.

Win-Win.

IQ sure has taken a shine to the Targa version though!

Looking good. Bet you're anxious to get it back on the road?  I love my cars, but I've never bought them balloons....maybe I should start?

Also....sweep those leaves, how do you live with yourself ;)  :rofl2:
