[quote=flu]It is done… I go tomorrow to sign papers….Unless someone from now until then can beat me to buying that car (since it’s not official until the paper is signed)……
I need to be saved from being irresponsible….Some have tried but failed miserably…
Rich, between now and tomorrow, please go there and make a better off and steal this deal from me. I know you really want an ND. I mean, you probably have an NB, and the ND has more horsepower and less weight than the NB. Plus, it gets 34mpg on the freeway.
Besides, since this car has 0% US parts content, there’s a chance with any sort protective trade tariff, the cost of this car will go up significantly in a few years. :)[/quote]
Oops, I dropped the ball on this! Looks like you talked yourself out of it in the end anyway…
BTW yes, I do have an NB, I bought it new in 03. I’ve had it for so long it just feels right. I took an NC for a test drive once and even though it was faster, it just didn’t feel right to me. It felt too much like a normal car. Every time I climb into my Miata’s little cabin I feel right at home. Just a creature of habit I guess… (plus, this car works fine so I can’t really justify a new car… but that’s non car-guy thinking, I will admit).
Well, if you do eventually end up getting a new Miata (fastback or otherwise)… I will demand you post pictures.
I love Miatas! I’ve had a couple and they are great, fun cars and pretty cheap to fix.
As long as you have a bigger car too if you have kids, they’re great!
So… I took some of that money that was going towards that Miata and put more of into the AMD stock lottery ticket. If I can get an additional $8000 from AMD over the next couple of weeks, I’ll pay MSRP for the Miata RF. And if if falls flat on its face and lose more than 20%, I’ll call off the purchase indefinitely.
AMD Ryzen processor looks really compelling and looks like it will give Intelsa good run for the money, at a fraction of the cost. The biggest risk is AMD fcking up delivering with supply chain issues, like it typically did in the past.
It’s all fun and game and until someone loses money. Lol.
