Haven't been there but agree Pelican is well run. Particularly when you consider the strong personality types that can be attracted to Porsches.

I considered a Miata some time ago but will admit the stigma was a bit tough to get past. Having seen several now at autocrosses and race tracks I'm happy to say i am completely over that. now it's just a funds thing. too many toys and have a baby on the way so.....something would have to give.

Considering most of us could sell our cars for enough (even in this market) to fund a cheap Miata, trailer, fit out and even more it's tempting..... You watch a miata blasting around the track in person and you realize those things are hauling ass and the guy driving is a happy ass mofo. every bit as happy as the guy behind him in the $30k 911. not to mention the Miata guy probably doesn't lay awake at night worrying about protecting his paint and what would happen to the body work if he suddenly finds himself mowing the grass.

Gay? Psha, those guys are racing. Maybe gay is sitting in a lawnchair behind your car at a show and talking about what a great race car the 911 is without ever having experienced it yourself.
