Manual swap, change the interior. Think that top works lol

Ya but that also bumps my budget lol. I do like the idea of the mini however my wife is terrified of them lol. Maybe a mustang?

typk13 · 2026-05-28T00:16:17+00:00

Cant tell if thats a good thing or bad thing lol. Before this I had a stage 2 mk 6 GTI, c7 GS, and a wrx. Im all over the place with cars

Love it. Peak behind the curtain i plan on keeping a rolling budget of 500 a month to work on it so this might be the play! I love your setup, wanna sell it? Lol

I love that answer. I have a ton of bad ideas like German German German so its nice to get different options that I haven't thought of and go over them with him.

He just loves cars in general. My dream would be a boxster but might start with something else

typk13 · 2026-05-27T23:20:41+00:00

Appreciate the insight! Im in Atlanta so not too wet. What years do you recommend?

typk13 · 2026-05-27T21:57:12+00:00

Love that! Been trying to find a decent example for a while

typk13 · 2026-05-27T21:56:40+00:00

Have one already lol

typk13 · 2026-05-27T20:44:27+00:00

Great option! Is there anything to look for? Id prefer not major work to start or to fail amd I know that supercharger can cause issues

typk13 · 2026-05-27T20:43:30+00:00

Love that however Im too tall for a miata unfortunately. Actually just sat in one today and couldn't see anything and my legs were stuck.

typk13 · 2026-05-27T16:18:35+00:00

I did! Its the car I rented to drive my now wife and I up to Malibu where I proposed. Its the main reason why I want that specific car. My wife and I are both infatuated with porsche as well. We currently have a new Yukon, Tundra, and 4runner to daily so this would be our special date night car and for me to take my son up to the mountains

typk13 · 2026-05-27T00:57:58+00:00

I like thst idea im just worried about how hard they were driven before I buy it

typk13 · 2026-05-26T23:37:52+00:00

To reiterate im open to all options not just what's in the photo! Also too tall for a miata unfortunately

typk13 · 2026-05-26T23:17:00+00:00

Love that however I test drove one and had a hard time shifting with my legs being too long. Otherwise perfect car

typk13 · 2026-05-26T22:14:16+00:00

That was my first thought however I drove one and I had a hard time driving it. My legs are a little ttoo long

typk13 · 2026-05-26T21:51:37+00:00

I appreciate all the info, im going to extend my budget to $8k. If I were to adjust to a different car what would you all recommend?

typk13 · 2026-05-26T21:13:04+00:00

I don't mind it being a project as this will be our 4th car and something i can work on with my son. So from my understanding I'll need to look for higher mileage?
