    He could though, because this is just a cheap car. Not one that deserves his envy. So if it's not envy moving him, it must be lack of intelligence. And there's no cure yet.

    She's a beauty!

    Now I feel like posting pics of mine...next time I wash-n-wax.

    A couple of things you should check/replace. The battery, you know it's in the trunk right? Check for corrosion underneath it, in the small nook that can also collect water. Also, the sparkplug cables, they can dry out and crack with age. In another car I had it made a big difference after replacing.

    I've been thinking my next car will be a Miata, of approximately the same age. What would it run me in about 6 months.. 2k?

    EDIT: According to KBB, with roughly 60k miles it'd run me 4-5k.

    I just ran a search on the autotrader site for models ranging from '91-'98. The average price was 4,800, a low of 1,800 for a '91 w/ 170K miles and high of 7,900 for a '96 special edition. Most car have around 60-80k miles. McReis' car is a true find, with only 20K!!

    Hi

    I've seen it live, and believe me those pictures do not make justice for the cars' condition!!! It's feels and looks like it left the production line a couple of months ago...

    Great car, great buy... and I'm jealous!!!

    Regards
    Alexandre

    Good point!

    Thank you all guys!

    Now the only bit lacking, is the LSD. Then, I'll be completely addicted! And rubberless!

    What a great piece of Junk!

    Just joking, you know what i think about this car!
    A true driver's car with very good handling and amazing balance. A real toy (Toy - not the portuguese "singer" ), as you always wanted.
