Shitty time to have to buy a Mazda Miata. But we're going to need you to go ahead and get one purchased.
I bought mine at 25. Does that mean I'll be dead by 50?
Bad news. With inflation, it's not going to be twenty five years for the back half.
I'm sorry. There's nothing medical science can do for you now.
You will be required to do an engine swap at 36. You will take out the sensible 4 cylinder engine and attempt to cram a straight 6 under the hood. The car will sit in pieces in your garage for years before you eventually sell it for parts when your spouse buys a storage system for their garden tools that will need to go in that space.
Ha, that was my dream car when I was 16! Or an RX7, I think it was called.
The American rotary was/is the RX8. RX7 was banned in the US because it had a left hand drive and emissions regulations. But you might still be able to find one or two floating around
The rotary is kinda cool but there's not many mechanics that can work on them. So the Miata is probably the smarter choice.
Hmm? No, there were RX7s in the US. Emissions are tough for rotories, but they made it kinda work for a while.
I had an RX8. Loved it, but rotories give up their apex seals eventually. Have a Miata now.
