Too bad I need it as my daily. My X-Runner is starting to show signs it'll develop a running tab of repairs. So I'm looking for a main ride. If my X-Runner was in good shape, I can actually afford a 2nd hand MX-5 since I'll have two vehicles. Honestly though, aside from the trans, the truck isn't in horrible shape, but it's 160K in now and I'm looking at a 2K - 4K repair so far on it. Might as well have that go towards a replacement. I had literally just replaced the tires on it as well, Sport S4S.

The other situation is to buy two used cars, but I don't think I'd do that over having a better single car. The BRZ would be a better choice than two used cars. I'd get the utility, and the fun. Only catch is that the ND is its competition, and it's probably the best MX-5 to date. Even better than the Mazdaspeed one.
