I'M OUT

[brody9981]

Sorry guys......BUT I sold out last night. Traded my 08 Yaris LB S for an 09 Mazda Miata MX5 Touring. Got a great deal on the new miata and decent trade in. SORRY! But we just had to feel the wind in our hair again.......:burnrubber:

[kimona]

Good luck. The Miata is a great car!

[yarisugi]

Oh, you meant THAT kind of "I'm out", out.

MX-5! With the hard top convertible or soft top?
How much was it and how much was the Yaris trade-in?

[Kal-El]

For a second, I thought you were out of the contest (Seinfeld reference) :biggrin:

[auxmike]

What did they give you for the Yaris?

[advocate]

Good luck with the miata. A very cool and great replacement for the Yaris. Enjoy!

[Bob Dog]

not a mistake

[TwoBearWisconsin]

Best of both worlds... IF I ever find the Yaris for me, I'll have both a Yaris and a Miata. I've got a '96 Miata in the garage right now, and an '06 Focus I'm trying to trade for a Yaris.

[bronsin]

Ive had Miatas for years but my back wont let me drive one anymore. Thank Heaven for the Yaris! Is the Miata going to be your only car?

[detroiter]

You don't happen to be a hair dresser by profession?


:D Nice choice of car!!

[CtrlAltDefeat]

My mom has a 95 miata i hope she'll let me have some day (hopefully it wont be beat to shit by then)

[TheRealEnth]

Hmm, drove my ex's miata and my best friends miata, fun cars.... but i have to say my car is a bit funner... Yeah the tail wants to slide out in miata but my yaris grips more than a stock NA or NB

[brody9981]

Thanx everyone for your replies. To answer some of the questions (in no particular order), NO I am not a hairdresser. ?? . It is and will be my daily driver. It is a soft top (but drove the hard top, nice BUT lots of motorized moving parts, which scares me, and too expensive to justify the difference). Got it for 22k and 11.5k on trade in. It has the touring package. SWEET DEAL and awesome car. I dont know about a stock yaris gripping as well as an NC.......:burnrubber:

[brody9981]

Oh yeah.....FORGOT something VERY important.....my better half has a Suburu Outback. So I wont have to take 5000 trips to costco and homedepot! LOL So no, not our only car.

:laugh:

[detroiter]

I was asking if your a hairdresser because it's one of the "miata" jokes. They always call it a gay mans car so there's a plethora of jokes, but I don't really see why. The car is one of the best handling cars on the market, being up there with corvettes and vipers, really. Only reason it's never compared with them is because the price tag isn't almost triple digit numbers and it doesn't have a big ass amount of HP. Handling and ease of driveability though is amongst the best period.

[puetato89]

+1, it really doesnt matter whether your gay or straight, as long as you have a car its a car, especially if youve seen the miata my uncle just sold(2006, with an rb25det):drool:

[DevilGirl]

my better half

Ahh, best way to refer to your lady... Cause, well, yanno, we ARE the better half... :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

You'll like the .Miata.net forum,very helpful for all things Miata and a great bunch of members including yours truly.
Miata is one fun car to drive,go kart like handling, tons of after market stuff and can easily be turbo'd up to 250hp+ or drop in a V8 for a 400hp Monster Miata,or just enjoy it the way it came from the factory..
And a few hours Northeast of Atlanta some of the best twisty roads in the east.

not a stock yaris, a yaris with 200$ worth of suspension mods does ;D

apparently you've never been given a spin in a real yaris =p, thats why you gave up on it.

Go drive a mildly tuned Miata through some twisty roads.

[Mouse]

Sorry but the yaris can't compare. Miata FTW.

[brody9981]

OH CRAP! I've started another debate! LOL! Sorry, BUT gotta go with the Miata on the handling....... I've been checking out the Miata Forum, a wealth of knowledge over there too! And yeah, I know I'm in a great location. Headed to the Gap in about two weeks! Can't wait to run my new ride up there! I saw there is a good miata meet there in July I WILL HAVE TO ATTEND! Thanks for all your support.......:burnrubber:

[jambo101]

Headed to the Gap in about two weeks! Can't wait to run my new ride up there! :

When i go to the gap i usually do a slow exploratory run first to see if there are any cops or road construction going on,second run ?let er rip..Be aware that this time of the year there are accumulations of leaves on the road and can get slippery.
Heres a guy taking it easy on the Dragon in a MINI ,notice he never shifts a gear once rolling.http://www.motoringfun.com/2006/09/

Also check out www.clubroadster.net

I personally like clubroadster better than miata.net

[kimona]

Having owned 2 Miatas, the Miata has it all over the Yaris when it comes to handling. Plus, the manual transmission and shifter in the Miata makes the Yaris stick an absolute dog.

[brody9981]

Thanks for the roadster link! Awesome site! I washed and waxed the Miata last night. Looks awesome. The paint quality is refreshing after the yaris. Sun was shining today and actually got to drive home with the top down! I wish this car was a manual, but like I said, "my better half" requested I purchase an auto. It has a 6 sp auto and has the paddle shifters on the wheel where u can go thru the gears manually though. FUN! :burnrubber:

[Bob Dog]

Does this mean I have to go get a Miata?

[jambo101]

Does this mean I have to go get a Miata? You sure are living in a nice part of the world when it comes to twisty roads and Miatas.

[brody9981]

If you do, I'll see you in the twistys!

[birdman]

Mazdas are fine cars.

[Saskatchewan17]

Congrats man! Great purchase. I agree with the general consensous about handling. Having driven both a Miata and a Yaris... holy crap the Miata is in a different league.

[tomato]

Belated congratulations and a little envy on my part :drool:

[Morgan]

pics or it didn't happen....

jk jealous!!! Have fun with it! :smile:

[johnnypaseo]

good trade!

[why?]

lol, I bet with enough cash you could make a Yaris feel like a stock Miata, but who wants to spend that type of money when they could buy a miata and invest it in a better engine?

[puetato89]

rb26det maybe :)

[brody9981]

Thanks everybody! I promise I will post pics! Just been busy lately....and any free time I've been washing/waxing car.
