A buddy of mine has a first gen Miata that he uses as his only car, but he's definitely feeling the drawbacks of having one as an only car, still it's a very fun car though. | ||

If you ever need to travel, you just buy a bike rack and a luggage carrier. |

Check and check. It's a perfect match! XD Drove my MR2 to work today. I forgot how unforgiving the car is; got too complacent with my Accord. Bigger wheels/tires did make it a much more comfortable ride though. But yeah, when I had friends, it was too small and uncomfortable for my passengers. I do have to add one more caveat: If you have to do any work on your house, a small car isn't the greatest. At least with my Accord, I can fold down the back seats and fit plywood and whatnot through the trunk. This is impossible in the MR2, though I guess a roof rack or a small tow hitch would help. You have a few more options with a convertible. | ||

Snooping as usual Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,780 Member No.: 32,588 Joined: Apr 13th 2009 Location: what are you doing in my swamp? | If I was going to cut back to one car, I'm pretty sure it would be something hopelessly impractical. Consulier, panoz, Maxton roller skate, qvale, or something else you can't really get parts for very easily. I'd bike to work. |

This. I guess that's why I never noticed while I had the SVX/S30. My local friends were almost entirely gearheads, and those who weren't at least had their own cars. This post has been edited by Nomake Wan on May 15 2015, 12:40 PM | ||

As expected of country grown vegetables Group: Special Snowflake Posts: 2,330 Member No.: 19,520 Joined: Aug 14th 2006 Location: Redondo Beach, CA. | I agree That's what non-car people are for. Rides. When they ever ask: "Why is your car always a piece of shit, in fact why do you always buy pieces of shit?" Just smile and nod, you've reached the highest badge of honor. respond with "You just wont get it" |

IDW Jr. Member Group: Members Posts: 60 Member No.: 44,089 Joined: Jun 27th 2014 Location: Update Profile | What I want to know is how they squeezed such little power out of a DIRECT INJECTION 2.0L?? Most 90's 2.0L produce at least 200 hp. They must have engineered it specifically to reduce power. This post has been edited by Crono0001 on Jun 25 2015, 10:18 AM |

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | Still looks hideous. I don't care if it has 800hp and gets 60mpg stock. I would never buy that ugly thing. |

IDW Expert Member Group: Members Posts: 129 Member No.: 46,063 Joined: Nov 19th 2015 Location: manilaPhilippines | having a two seater car is doable but you have to accept that there will be days where in its impracticality will outshine its vanity. -when your cute girlfriend would like her cuter girlfriend to come along -when you have to buy groceries all of a sudden -police officers tend to flag down two seaters more often, is it just me? |

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | I've been in a two seater primary off and on for many years. Police only got me once when I was very blatantly speeding. There was nothing to suggest that they looked at me for any other reason than "you were going 84 in a 65". I see cops pulling bikes (naturally) and trucks more often than anything else. |
