I got a Miata
Picked this 2001 Miata up from wilburisthecoolest (some people may remember him and his J2 Elantra). He was going to trade it in for his new Focus ST and they offered him $2500, so I matched that and it is now mine.
It is a lot of fun, there is a lot of overlap between this Miata and my red Accent, I'm still not sure what roles these cars will play in the future. It sure is nice to be driving the rear wheels again though.

Yeah, the ST is nice but I would not personally buy one. $30k+ for a Focus? Please do not sign me up. $2500 for a Miata though, I will do that. Especially with $1500 worth of almost new wheels and Toyo R1R's, and including the hard top. I was going to buy the wheels and tires from him for $1000 so it is really an even better deal.

Yeah, one of the best performance per dollar track cars. Looking at parts for the Miata it is amazing. I could build an incredible car for next to nothing. It is so tempting.

Woot! Miatas are a great ton literally great ton of fun!
That is a f*cking steal. Even if it had 200k an 01 should sell for 4500.
Anyway sell your turbo kit for the Accent and flip is for turbo bits for the Miata. I will tell you first hand the Miata is a joy to work on cause it is so EASY.
text me, I would love to come check it out and help devise a plan of attack!
Also if you have time come to Evergreen raceway on Saturday. It is a Drift and Swap meet day. Pretty fun and loads of cheap parts, wheels tires. And it is the end of season so expecting a huge turnout for the swap meet!

Awesome. I would come up for that but it's the WWSCC awards banquet so I will be getting my PRO2 class jacket. 
I'll go ahead and turbo the Accent since everything is complete and ready to go. I will probably turbo the Miata too. The kits, so complete. Ugh it is a tough road modding a Hyundai.
I'll get a hold of you when I have some time to hang out and we can get together.
