Looking for a sports car bargain: $5K rebate on '08 Miatas!

28k for a Miata is getting raped. Even 20k doesn't seem all that great. Considering the thing came out in 1990 and it pretty much looks the same.

Not my hood - that was at a stop in Waxahachie along the way when we had to pull over and attend to our crying 5 mo. old (he was riding in the truck).

Must remember that skimming a thread can lead to the wrong impression.

Amazing the difference one letter can make

I always suggested to my son he could ride in the back of the Z, But it's not a real trunk as it opens to the passenger compartment, and I'm not sure he could fold himself into it anymore....

I rode in the "trunk" of a Beetle all the time when I was 5-6

Half the fun is doing it yourself.

You don't need to have a bulge put in the hood to clear the intake system with the LS versions either.

The monster Miata or another version of it would be a beast and a blast to drive. Similar to the Cobra kit cars I would imagine. I've driven two of the Cobra replicas...one from Superformance and one from FactoryFive Racing

but never a V8 Miata. Well come to think of it I've never driven a Miata period.
