The Miata would most likely go in storage. It's not worth trading in so I'd keep it.Stephen Wilds #303

That's probably the first I've heard of someone not liking an M2, though the DCT would make sense.

Apparently in all his time back and forth he talked himself into ordering a new M2. So apparently you have to treat the DCT M cars as being from completely different planets than the Manual M cars. Go figure.
My daily has an 8spd ZF in it and I think it’s probably one of the best automatic transmissions I’ve ever driven. Got me completely rethinking having to have a manual as a daily which had pretty much been my thing. I was even going to spec out a new mustang with the 10spd to replace it (not a ZF but I think I could live with it) but after seeing a few in public I am just not a fan.Lots of cars... none of which are a Probe...

My 335 has the ZF Auto. It's a great daily. I do still keep my eye out for a 335/340 manual but there is rarely anything near me with one. The brand new M2s are nice, I really like the new body on them.Stephen Wilds #303

What's new people? Just got married like 2 weeks ago. Life is pretty good. Haven't really messed with cars in forever since I work from home and don't drive mine much.

Life is pretty good over here too. I don't have much to do with cars anymore either as I also work from home and rarely need one where I live. Whenever I do get to drive though I'm reminded of how much I still love it. Sometimes I get nostalgic and look up FC RX-7s for sale and daydream for a few minutes before closing the tab and getting back to reality, haha.~SumR
I don't own a car anymore and it's weird.

I do still do mess with cars as my job is entirely based around me doing so. As far as my own cars, the Miata is hooked up to a battery tender and the 335 is running great. Since the 335 is getting up in miles, I am getting an upgraded Pure turbo for it to replace the stock one. For maintenance purposes of course.
Just got back from Disney, did a few days at the parks and then a week on the Disney Wish cruise. Was fun! Back at work today.Stephen Wilds #303
