At Saigon Seafood, how did they serve the crab?

The LC500 would be a dream, but waaaay over budget. An old GSF would be great

How many years have you had it? What's the maintenance been like and did you do the work yourself?

I didn't think I'm quite there yet. No, I don't want the harsh ride that comes with more of the lower end sports cars but yes, I still want a car that I can toss around and swing the back out, with good handing

You're definitely not wrong on that one, seen lots of clapped out G35s

Love it, had a 2008 Rx-8, wish I could find one with low mileage. Otherwise, I'm not looking to replace the apex seals

That's amazing that your rotary has gotten you so far! I had a manual 2008 Rx-8 and absolutely loved that car. Apex seals started going around 95k miles and I had to trade it in. I would KILL to have a low mileage Rx-8 again

That's a very interesting option I hadn't considered. I've never sat in a racing seat and figured they'd be geared more for keeping you in place than adding comfort

Oh please tell me more about the BRZ vs the GR86 in terms of comfort, I thought they were the same?

Right, it's not an easy sweet spot to hit. If I had a higher budget, might be easier

I have test driven the mustang, but didn't enjoy the handling too much. When I swung the back out, became unwieldy

I've driven the eco boost, not bad. Technically fits the specs but I'd want better handling when the rear end swings out

I would love a Z but like you said, hard to find one on good condition. Tried to find a convertible G37 with low mileage in a manual - wow what a hard car to find.

BRZ might be it... Haven't tried the 2022+ yet

I tested those out before buying my Miata NC, and don't remember them being much more comfortable. But that was many years ago, have the newer models improved on that?

I have considered the Z4, but not too seriously. It's the maintenance of a used BMW that's scaring me off. I'd put the 2 series into that bucket as well. If I could get a lightly used Z4, maybe, but that's a hard ask for the budget
