    Car problem

    Not a problem with a specific car but a problem with having to many. I have been offered a 93 miata with no rust, 70,000 miles and a clean white body for $2,000. I am thinking about picking it up but only if I get rid of the rallyX 4wd protege.

    The condition of the protege is gutted interior, stock engine/drivetrain, new snow tires,Koni front struts, new oem rear struts, GC coilover sleeves w/HD springs, 2 racing seats and a miata rear LSD. That's basicly it, we rally cross raced it at a few events this past winter and did pretty good considering we had less hp then any other car. Overall money into the car is about $1,600. I'd sell it for much less to someone willing to keep racing it

    What should I do, get the miata and lose the protege or keep the pro?

    jeff you know i found this car so i should get 1st dibs! lol idk dude miatas are stupid fun but you're the only one i know with 3 cars and they're all AWD, now that I have an AWD car it seems almost pointless to drive anything else. idk... wish i had cash to pick it up... unless u like DSMs hehe

      i think a miata would be cool but... you already have an autox car. if you got a miata, you'd basically have 2 autox cars, instead of a sweet rallyx car. good luck either way though :D

        These responses suck, I don't wanna lose rallyx car but I was already looking on the monster miata site. Ahhhh!!!

            if the protege isnt even registered, why get rid of it? stick it in the back yard and use it for rallyx events only... :D

              If storage isn't an issue, buy the miata for summer time and then use the 4wd as a ****ter winter car. No reason to get rid of it.

                This doesn't sound like a problem to me. Wait.. are you married? Then it might be a problem.

                  Definitly not married but I already have the GTX, pro 4wd, my subie, a motorcycle, an enclosed trailer and a dirtbike. I don't know if I want another car laying around the yard cause I don't have a ton of space.
