Dude, i still dont know whether you want a track reliable miata or a drag race, auto x, street miata.

You should get corn either way you go. It is the best.

Can't run corn since we don't have it here.

Regarding the answer to your other question, I'd say autocross and street. Maybe a drag trip for the lulz. That said, I'm beginning to wonder if I like working on this **** more than driving it.

Edit: wondering if i hate myself enough that I keep doing stupid things instead of just driving the damn thing.

That was my general understanding of what you wanted anyways and I based my advice on. Those pistons will work fine with a good tune. (I must emphasize good tune here) Let the "negcatmustoverbuildforasmallturbo" squad hate. I would wager that 90% of people here don't truly need forged pistons. They are a nice, a fantastic buffer for you being a jackass, not a necessity. I happen to know of a few folks that have or are currently doing more than you want on stock pistons.

*insert you run forged pistons and corn you hypocritical bastard hate here*

However, I imagine you will be blindly checking off CPG boxes, making it rain prescriptions, and driving a BMW in 4 years, and triaging people to providers with specialty skills, so it wont matter anyways.

Are you saying that I'm going to do family practice?

:(

Also, is the ME degree mechanical engineering or a degree in learning to be self centered? (Or something I've never heard of lol.)

Yes, mechanical engineering. If you do family practice, dont become a drone.

FP is one of the things I would loathe doing. I'd honestly rather do psych and it's about as competitive, ie not at all.
