[quote=Coronita][quote=scaredyclassic]I drive very gently and slowly. The transmission will be fine. I am the slowest guy anywhere. New Miata seem rather cheap.

I really would rather just live than fail at a gun suicide. I’ve always thought it’d be best to be on a raft far fr shore, tie a weight on you, shoot raft, shoot self.

Of course,. I could have a change of heart between the raft shooting and the suicide.

Dammit. Maybe shoot self off the golden gate bridge?

I think at the end of the day suicides just not for me.[/quote]

New miatas are cheap. Softtop cheaper than hardtop. The other thing is, if you don’t care, you don’t need to get a manual transmission. Automatics are more reliable than manual in this generation. They don’t break.

Added bonus of miatas. Sorry, I can’t pick you up and take your friends… Only 2 seats…sorry

Also funner car than minis imho.[/quote]

I like manual transmissions because they were cheaper on my 89 Honda. Also it’s kind of fun to have a sort of skill. One kid can’t drive stick, so it’d be unborrowable to him….
