and wish to stay alive. Have never smiled as much in a car as the Boxster and it has no back seat. Miata man you may be driving a P car in a few years and you can still retain your manhood
I had an '88 911 Targa, then I got a '97 Miata, now I have a 2004 turbo Miata. I'll have another Porsche again some day. I have no idea if I'll go long hood, another 3.2L G50 car, 964, 993, Boxster, etc.... I'll figure that out when I get there. I really, really loved the 911. The miata is like a Porsche Jr for me. Very good, but not of the same caliber as the Porsche.

I'm not sure why folks continue the stereotype for the miata and boxster. I guess because they are "cute" and are not hairy chested beasts. Does that make an MG or Spitfire a gay car? Anyway, whatever, I'm not worried about it. I've scared too many people in my cars, and I wasn't making a pass at them when it happened.
