I fly to Washington, DC to grab mine. I found local ones.. but none that I wanted. Older enthusiast cars you pretty much have to be willing to travel for unless you get lucky.

Except for Miatas, there are plenty around.

The ride quality is fine. If you're used to driving a BRZ/FR-S, it'll feel similar. Perhaps a bit more pucker over bigger bumps.

I'll have to check one out they are awesome looking cars

Yeah they're fun cars for the money. The VQ35 engines are damn-near bulletproof and can take some abuse. You can find a good 350z for right around $10k or just under, but make sure to inspect the car fully, especially the more common problem areas (MTs on 03-04s, wiper motors, window switches, radiator fans, AC vents, etc.)
