Same, and I second this.
My Miata may actually be my favorite car by virtue of what you get for the money and the fun of having a beater car. If I put my Z or twin on a track and wreck it, I lose a very rare color option that I can't replace or an expensive newish car respectively. If I hit a tire wall in the Miata, I just buy a new fender or another $2-3,000 dirt cheap POS and swap the aftermarket parts over. I can push it hard and learn good driving and car control without having to fear what happens if I make a mistake. It is my best car and my worst car at the same time in that respect, but I definitely love having a cheap, crappy car. Get yourself a cheap Miata or 240 and go enjoy it at a track/autocross/back road. Let off some steam when you're not studying, and do it in a way that you aren't losing much if something bad happens.
