Car Shopping (updated)

| No Comments

I've got a car. A Nissan SE-R. It's getting old. 14 years old! And 155K miles on the clock.

If it were a kid, it would be going to high school now...

Anyhoo, I've always had a thing for sports cars. And cars that can go topless. Being raised in a 1966 Mustang convertible may have something to do widat. But living in San Francisco, a convertible is not always practical. But this is!

The best thing is that the Miata MX-5 is affordable to start with and this option is projected to be only US$2000 more! Not baaaad. Here's more info from Mazda.

Except gotta wait until Spring 07! Then they'll be the rush where the dealer markup is hella high. Then it'll come down eventually. Maybe 2008. Of course, Alfa Romeo is supposed to be returning to the US by then...hmmm.

UPDATE: But, if you live in Japan, there's no wait! Roy from Q-Taro.com is an avowed Roadster owner and he got to check out a Hardtop Roadster in the flesh! Lucky...
