MIATA LINK
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/324708366.html
CIVIC LINK
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/car/325306951.html

The Miata is my current commuter, runs perfect, just a bit too small, but it's like driving a go-kart (which is fun), would you trade for the Civic? I drove the Civic, 90HP, nice audio system, paint not as nice as the Miata.

Pick a car and tell me why, I can't decide I told the guy I would have to sleep on it.

HAHAHAHA what a small world. I've driven that car before. Did you buy it or trade a previous car for it? Lexus LS400?

btw i'd go for the civic.

Yep I traded my LS400 for it, needed something that didn't run on premium for commuting, it's a fun car, just a bit small.

lol the miata used to belong to my supervisor at work. I remember he got it all stock with the paint all faded. he added the rotas, lip, springs, fake roll bar, and the earl paint job lol. He later slammed the LS400 on some 19" SC430 wheels and got some seat covers for the interior. A while ago he traded the LS for a 00 CBR I think.

His name is Jason right, did the Lexus do good for him, I never had any issues with that thing, it was a runner, tell him I said the car has been good to me.

yeah that's him. from what i know the lexus didn't have any probs while he owned it. i drove it too, even with the V8 it wouldn't spin em at will lol. it was a pretty tight old school big body though.

You had to take the traction control off, maybe it was the rims he put on it, but with stocks on there it would smoke them up.

I say keep the Miata because, if you get the desire to do so, it would be harder to do this to a Civic [burnout]

I've toyed around with the thought, but I've got enough money dumped in my coupe, they say it throws off the 50/50 ratio, but it's a 5 Liter Miata, who cares, it would be nice.

Gonna make the trade and trade the Civic for an Integra, it's what I wanted all along anyways.
