This.

>>16326159
I had one. They're cool looking if you like that 80's style but they're slow, heavy, don't handle very well, and are usually destroyed by rust and neglect. It also triggers me that so many people put those BF Goodrich Radial TA's on them instead of getting bigger wheels and using tires that aren't shit.

Wanted to buy a Ford Ranger, 300zx, or an e30.

Bought a 1988 300zx turbo and I think I'd rather have the Ranger. Looked at an 04 5 speed 4.0 with 60k miles for 8k. Rust free but the dealer insisted on financing over a cash purchase so I turned them down.

Not so much that I didn't buy it, rather I couldn't because it got sold hours before I arranged to meet the seller

Had the fucking 455 big block too.

Also a Mitsubishi Starion/Chrysler Conquest that wasn't FUBAR. Seems like a better bet to just import a Starion from Japan now since all the ones sold here are ruined.

So go buy a FX16 then. Then you'd have both a miata and an FX16

700 bucks. Rebuilt motor by a mechanic I delivered to while working for NAPA. It was almost perfect except the roof lining needed to be replaced.

I should have fucking bought it. Ugh.

Instead I got a 1984 300zx turbo 2 years later. Glorious 80s turbo car.
