I actually doubt there's all that many gay Miata drivers. Most Miatas I see are driven by age 45+ guys who track them and are past that phase of worrying what other people think.
It's funny how people here always shit on Harleys for being too heavy, but then they drive 3,800 lb Mustangs/Camaros that can't be tossed around. Those types of cars are simply too big and ponderous to have much fun on a tight mountain road or residential area. You can't see the 4 corners, you can't see the lane markers, you've got no feel in the steering, you can't tell when the tires are about to lose grip, and when they do they do it suddenly.
People always say "oh but the skidpad is 0.9G" even though that's on a wide open lot with no penalty for error.
this 2 seat convertible is frickin fun, fun and then some!
Turbo-it is known as a chick or gay car but if you want to take it out for a spin to see what most straight men are missing due to fear of stigmata just let me know.

That reminds me, I need to order a new antenna and and gasket for where it screws into the car. Cat jumped up on my car and rubbed against the antenna, destroying it and the gasket.
Weak German plastic + dumb cat = wazzuFreddo has to shell out some cash :|

I had a miata i bought cheap with the plan of reselling. I drove it for 2-3 months. What a fun car, it also had the hard top. One day I decided to go topless to see what that was like (never had a convertable unless you count the sweet 318 baur I had...
). I get back into town and happen to roll up next to my buddy Jake who is riding with his girlfriend. I give him a wave and a smile, he then yells at me "You look SOOOOO gay!!"

You were 90% there, so I went ahead and made that a haiku for 'ya.

Want to buy a Z?
I'm sure the Minis handled well... it's more the way they look... doesn't do it for me. Maybe they're just too... I dunno... "mini"...
At least you know we're not compensating.

the best mid-life crisis car for that budget would be a lotus elise.
I have had the privilege of hammering quite a few of those around Lotus' Hethel test track between 2005 and 2009 and they are amazing
That said, I can honestly say that my (mildly modded to ~420HP) EVO IX MR accelerates way harder, is within 90% of the Lotus' handling and about as fast around any of our local tracks and is far more forgiving at the limit.
In addition, the EVO makes a practical and very reliable daily driver. I have hammered mine in its ~420HP state of tune for 84,000 miles. Its never been in the shop apart from a new clutch at 40,000 miles after my daughter fried it.

So I'm thinking Kornhole doesn't get laid a lot. A car certainly won't fix that personality.

I've always wondered where people in SoCal get the cabbage to spend so much money on their rides.
