I sold my Miata yesterday an hour and a half after I listed it on Craigslist. I bought the car for 2300 and sold it a year and a half later for 2500. I will miss that car.

The new car search officially begins...

Congratulations for completing step three of the 5 step process of miata ownership rehab.

Are steps 4 and 5 buying another one?

No, realizing again you had a problem and buying a different car......like a corvette.

I respect Corvette performance but it just feels "too big" for me

No steps 4 and 5 are buying a proper sports car like an MG or Triumph.

Oh absolutely! We all need more space for more projects and having a miata or a corvette is never bad :)

Obviously the next step up is a 911. Having owned 5 Miatas, I keep getting stuck in step 3...the 944 brought me to step 4, almost, but then i went back a step and bought another Miata....It's a vicious cycle...

And I thought I was the only one that felt that way.

I thought you would be banned from GRM if you admitting to selling a Miata.

Its always a good deal when you make some money and get to put miles on the car. Go find something else to play with.

D'oh, I've been banned 12 times over (though I bought my first back for pennies on the dollar, needed a HG )

Had one, sold it, drove others, bought a 2nd, sold it, bought other flavors, bought a 3rd and recently sold it. I've come to the realization that it really is "the answer" and I will stray but I'm sure I'll be back again.....
