Ferrari Mailing List: Fun Daily Driver

[George's Mail (georgedodson]

This may  be heresy in this forum, but here goes. My daily driver, which is 
fun is a 2009 Maza  Miata. It is a C type Grand Touring which means that it 
has a powered hardtop. It is the six speed version. The car is lots of fun 
on the winding East Tennessee roads that I take to worm. I get about 27 MPG, 
depending on the weight of the right shoe that I wear that day, it is a goof 
highway cruiser, comfortable to drive and the maintenance and upkeep are 
next to nothing. The interior panes never fall off! If you don't think that 
they are fun to drive, drop in at any SCCA autocross and watch a while. If 
you want more performance, there are plenty of Mazdaspeed parts, that still 
keep you SCCA legal. Obviously what you get out of any car depends on your 
skill level, but the Miata keeps up well with many higher horesepower cars 
that so not handle as well.  If I want to zoom around a bit more, there are 
other choices, the most recent being the DUC.
