I'm just curious how many of us have both a Miata AND a Jeep XJ.

I'll start, i have both.

2000 Cherokee Sport 4x4
2004 Mazdaspeed Miata

Who else?

There was a time that I had a Miata and an Astro but that thread is played out.

Well, for awhile there I had 2 legs of the old trinity.

E30 + Miata..

I have been considering a P71 as the GF's first car. However, better gas mileage is probably a concern.

Does a Miata + a SN95 mustang cobra (4.6 4v) get me anywhere?

1992 Cherokee Sport 4X4 1993 Miata - the NA everyone has

also...

Kawasaki KLR 650 and a Naked Gold Wing

....and a Honda Ruckus.

So you think spending time here has influence on the vehicles that I buy??

I guess I need to start looking for an Astro Van now, and and one of those Ford police car thingies.

It doesn't, i'm sorry.

Just trying to figure out who has a Miata, and "The Miata of SUVs."

Had a 98 Cherokee Sport, 4 door, 4x4 for about 4 years, the longest of any vehicle. Just got a 1991 miata one year ago this month.

I had to sell it to save it. XJs dont like to sit :) I didnt have the time to spend with it that it deserved.

I have a Miata (and another Miata, and another Miata) and a Series Land Rover, the MC TC of off-roaders. As well as a WJ, the bloated whale of off-roaders.

However, I have had multiple coworkers with XJs. And I have driven an XJS.

I HAVE had both, but not at the same time. Does that count?
Oh, I will have another one of each one day again, does that count?

I still say the tj was alot more like a Miata than people thought. They are both crap on the highway, and awesome in there element. Rabid fans, everyone waves, little kids love both. I've spent time in xj's, and they are fine vehicles, but they never had the same vibe as a tj/yj/cj.

For a few years, I had both. I had a 91 XJ limited with a 2" lift and some special mods. Sold it on this board, running great with 245k miles on it. I had a 1994 Miata at the same time, for a few years. They made a great team.

Currently ---

1992 Mariner Blue --- aka "Rusty the Smurf"

1994 White primered Miata with.FMII Turbo --- "The Atomic Hairball"

2001 4.0 Cherokee Sport 4x4 --- Named this one "Eyegore", due to the fact that the previous owner somehow managed to install the passenger-side headlight upside-down.
