To answer some questions.

Yes, I'm saving for a rainy day.

Do I need to keep the Miata? Not really, but it is the first car that I bought. Lots of memories with it. I am incredibly bored with it...But I do have a lot of emotional attachment to it.

If I buy the MR2, I would have to put off my next travel plans a bit longer...

But by the same token, I don't always have the time to go out of the country. Which is the main reason I mod the car...Gotta spend it somehow...

No, I don't own a house. I will be looking at buying some sort of property on a short sale later in the year.

Basically, it's a now or later question.

Buy the car now or spend on vacations later (you know, since I just got back from one).

EDIT - I've traveled more than my friends. Having been to Paris, Quebec City, Montreal, Vancouver, NYC, Vegas, Miami, Key West, New Orleans, Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, Alaska, and Banff all in the past 6 years.

EDIT 2 - and yeah, a $4k spend is a pretty big deal to me. That's like a trip to Rio de Janeiro.
