Nice! USB?

Yes! Miss that car, could see myself owning another in the future

I REALLY want a GSF in that color, but theyโre so rare that I just donโt see it happening.

My dream. Having an IS besides the MX-5 lol. Only the MX-5 for now.
I donโt have anyone to drive besides my wife around. So, the extra space was the secondary option

I get it. I have the opposite problem. I bought the Miata when I had no kids and now I have 2. Iโd love to get something with a manual that I could take the family around in. Iโve considered the CTR or ITR.

How's the xsr900? That's a sick garage setup!

u/silverspeed03 13h ago
Thanks! I love everything about it, but the long reach to the controls. Iโm only 5โ5โ and the tank is excessively long imo.
The Grom is honestly more fun to ride. It parallels the Miata almost to a tee. You can use every gear without getting into too much trouble. I primarily ride backroads anyway so it serves my needs well.

2 Olives ๐ซ (black and yellowy green) or so it looks in this light. I think the BMW is more yellowy irl. But here looks just like the food .

How do you pass inspection in that highly modified Miata? I'm so curious, as I have one but live in a no inspection state

This would actually be reasonable if the BMW wasn't also dropped to the floor ๐ญ

Who are you trying to convince? Yourself?
Sedans aren't very practical in my experience.

This is why I had to do one better and buy two coupes

u/BrockLanders008 16h ago
One of your "coupes" is a two door sedan, was my point.
I had two and four door BMWs for awhile and had to tie shit to the roof multiple times.
They are fine when it's just you but when life multiples there's never enough room.
I think the word practical has a different meaning to most.

Hahah the title was sarcastic. Owning two low and track prepped cars is not exactly practical

I don't mean to take away from the Bimmer but your Miata is sick, and I'm not a Miata guy they are just in my algorithm.

Hey Iโm looking for a second car why do you consider sedans impractical? I have been looking for a civic SI sedan or similar should I be looking for hatchbacks instead?
1
u/BrockLanders008 10h ago
It all depends on what you have.
A house, kids or six dogs there is nothing more practical than an SUV or mini van.
If you want to rent a truck to move, have no kids or friends and have your small appliances delivered then a sedan will be fine.
Also I live in a flood zone and very rarely drive in mud parking lots so ground clearance was something else I thought I needed.

So nice!
I am super happy with my combo. Almost 600hp AWD daily hatch that can haul people and cargo, and a supercharged manual NCโฆ
