How do you use your miata
Just curious how people use their cars and whether you've got something else you rely on when something breaks. I was using my turbo miata as my "fun car" but it recently got promoted to "primary car with another vehicle". I know people with aftermarket turbo cars as their only vehicle, but mine sees enough down time that it's not really practical as an only car.

Umm, It is my only car... I am searching for another DD though so I can afford some downtime for more DIY and more win. This also forces me to keep a stockpile of parts incase it breaks, I can have it back on the road again. If it does do something screwy, I am reduced to my wife's 08 Civic.... auto, non SI fail mobile.

I treat it like my primary car even though I have a second vehicle that I ought to be piling miles onto instead. Although driving anywhere in the Miata is fun compared to my other car, a '92 Legacy wagon. So I guess I'm right between fun and primary. May become my only car soon as I'm getting tired of insuring/gassing up 2 cars.

Mine shares DD duties with a G8 GT. On nice days when I don't need extra seats, the Miata gets driven. My commute is long and rural. Perfect for a Miata.
Of course, right now the Miata is down for the build and the G8 GT is in the shop because I hit an animal and did a bit of damage. So . . . I'm driving my wife's 380SL. Yuck.
