[quote=TeCKis300]So your post has me chasing my itch again.
I’ve been without a track toy since I’ve upgraded my fun car/daily driver to too much car. I won’t say specifically what it is as people will judge, but what the heck, it will give you some context. Besides my coworkers have all judged me already as having my priorities all wrong =P. It’s a P car, Turbo.
It’s great fun on the street. It’s crack to me really. But it’s again, too much car to put on the track in terms of sentimental value, consumables, maintenance, and risk to my health (it’s got even bigger turbo’s than stock).
Now I’m pondering an S2K, if only for the variety against a P-car and I’ve always liked itss style.[/quote]
The s2k is a pretty good car. But for me at the time, at the time it was expensive to have for something that I considered a “throw away car”, which the $2000 miata is what I considered as. Then I stuck $1000 in suspension, $5000 on a supercharger, and switched to wider rims, and pretty soon the miata is not such a throwaway anymore. Well, I guess it still is. In the event it’s totaled, I guess hopefully I can salvage the suspension, wheels, and supercharger.
The Boxster BSX is supposedly pretty reliable. The only thing I don’t like is that if you do need to do something with it, I think anything more than an oil change, you’ll probably need to drop the entire engine out, which for a garage mechanic it isn’t possible unless your garage has a lift.
I came really close to buying a 911s…That was preempted by the availability of a condo short sales…And then I was seriously thinking about a GT4 and calling places to get an order in…And then it dawned on me, that I would of a never drive it on a track.
