My friend has a pretty modified E30 318is...I like to beat his *** around the corners with my miata...though he spanks me in the straights...we both have a competition to get turbo'd first

SamS there're alot of German Cars in my family too. I just sold my Audi A4 and I'm just lookin for the right miata now

I have a Porsche 951 (944 turbo) that will be for sale as soon as I replace the head gasket. I bought it after I totaled the last Miata. The 951 is fast, handles well and is comfortable but it's just not as much fun as a Miata. Parts are also 2 to 3 times as expensive. So when a turboed miata became available at a great price I jumped on it. The 951, to show it's gratitude, blew the head gasket the next week. I think that if I ever had more disposable income and a turbo manifold / kit were available for it, I would like to have a Boxter.

I had an 02 GTI 1.8T taht I ought new - pretty good motor on a so-so suspension. I added a Shine RSS and TT shift arm, and was looking at some motor upgrades, when the electrical problems started - coil packs(towed twice - once on the Cross-Bronx), airbags sensor, seat-belt short(!), power windows...... The console started coming apart. Upgrades on hold.
One month after it was paid for, I sold it and bought an 01 Accord for a DD and 2 months later bought the Miata. Better deal.
